Tofu burritos and one of a cat's nine lives.



Oh wow, what a night.
Pseudo kitchen is still being set up, but is already looking pretty fabulous.




In the meantime, though, I had the opportunity to work with two of the country's brightest up-n-coming chefs. What was on the menu? Tofu burritos and a cabbage bell pepper salad. Sound like a daunting task?

That was pretty much everyone's reaction.

Even after the success, the skeptics were skeptical.


However, there is no task too daunting for these girls, and it was pertinent to feed Jen a nurturing meal, as setting up a pseudo kitchen is no easy task!

Usually I have the recipe in front of me to provide, but the evening warped itself into a bit of a circus, so we will all have to settle for photographic evidence!

The cheese was an afterthought. A really, really wise afterthought.

And what does the inside look like?

Why, like a tofu burrito! Our assistant (I think the chefs call her "Mom") had a plethora of vegetables she was quite keen on unloading, so we snuck some eggplant, zucchini and extra extra peppers in there. We also replaced the tomato paste with spaghetti sauce.

Yes. We flipped the recipe upside down (which I will post one day, surely), and served it with a "Mom seriously needs to get rid of these vegetables tonight" salad.

Right before we dined, we kidnapped the neighbour cat.
Nothing says bon appetit like one of a cat's nine lives.

Hey, we were 78% sure is was Jen's missing cat, alright? 78% is a pretty high number.
Also, we fed him, so we're square.
Alright? Alright.

ALRIGHT, so we took the meal over to Jen's. Yes, we brought our feline friend too. She adored the meal, but we had to run before missing cat posters ended up around the block.

I tried to get a picture of her enjoyment, but all I was allowed to photograph was her pretty hair clip.

You win this round, Loveshine.

...you're not the only one who revoked my permission to photograph their face.


Yes, I'll get the recipe, as per the point of this whole blog.
Yes, I had a really fun evening!

...now let us never speak of it again.

  1. Looks good, but a warm tortilla shell needs meat! It's the way God intended burritos to be made.... not that there's anything overly wrong with the choices you've made!
