Happy anniversary!

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Today is my two year veggiversary and a lot has happened these two years. I’ve changed as a person (for the better I hope) and sometime last summer I decided to go vegan. Going vegetarian was a big step for me and a very positive one and when I later decided to go vegan it was yet another big step forwards. I’ve learnt so much since going veg and have done some awesome things.

Today is also the one year anniversary of this blog. It’s been a great year with lots of delicious food, nice people and plenty if good things going on. We’re celebrating with lunch out and maybe a trip to the book store, there’s sales going on right now and there’s a few cookbooks I’ve had my eyes on.. we’ll see! Today is also the day I get this months paycheck, so yay it’s a good day!

Feast your eyes on these pretties! A couple of days ago we had the Walnut, white bean and spinach phyllo rolls from Eat, Drink and Be Vegan with a salad of leafy green with raspberry vinaigrette and nuts. It was absolutely fabulous. I like phyllo dough a lot but it can be quite hard to work it as it dries out so quickly and is quite delicate. Next time I make these I’ll be making some baklava as well. Baklava is heavenly. For dessert a no bake raspberry pie with lime. Look at the colour of that pie! That’s what it looked like, it was hypnotic.I changed the recipe for the strawberry pie around a bit and this wonderful pie was what we got. Next I think I’ll make it with blueberries.

We didn’t do anything special for valentines day, it’s not a big day for me. I did get a few gifts from Alex however, an awesome black apron with the text ‘My kitchen is a mess but I’m not’ (which is entirely true!), some chocolate, a cool card and some flowers. Oh, and some shower gel, because apparently I stink?

We didn’t have anything awesome baked yesterday, but we did today! A no-bake strawberry lime pie which was just amazing. I spotted the recipe over at Tofu for two and knew right away I wanted to make it. Even if you’re not interested in pie (which is TOTALLY blasphemous btw) you should still visit their blog, it’s full of awesome tasty recipes, and the photos are great.

My mum and sister came over for fika (coffee and something small and sweet) and both really liked it. I will definitely make it again,and maybe change things around. I’m already imagining lots and lots of blueberries…
Enough talking, have some pictures! Behold the glory of the strawberry lime pie!
