This week I'm house managing with Sarah, my fellow vegetarian. We both find it ironic how we're both from Alberta and supposed to be advocating Alberta Beef, and are somehow both vegetarians instead. (: We decided every meal was to be vegetarian this week but Stephane could not go 4 suppers without meat, so we let Evelyne cook some meat at one of the meals. Our meals this week have been super interesting and delicious and have consisted of Mushroom Pasta, Mushroom Lentil Burgers, Peanut Butter Bok Choy and Fajitas! We also learnt how to make a new type of bread, volcano/fetus style!!
Vegan Apple Banana Cinnamon Bars and Popcorn
Sarah chopping onions with style. But for realsies, the onions here are mad intense. Agggh I can feel my eyes watering, seriously.
- Sprinkle some salt on the table, and then put down 7 cups of flour.
- Form the flour into a volcano.
- Mix one cup of water with 10 teaspoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of yeast and mix.
- Pour the water mixture into the middle of the volcano.
- Take little bits of flour from the sides and put it in the volcano and mix it with your fingers gradually adding more and more flour until eventually its all mixed.
- Knead for quite a while until you have a nice fetus looking bread.
- Leave to rise for an hour.
- After an hour cut the dough into three, slap the air out of it and put it into greased pans and let it rise for half an hour.
- After half an hour put it in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-30 min and TADA KATIMABREAD!
That't right, Pita Chips with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and basil, and sundried tomato hummus. For snack. No big. MA said it was the best snack he ever had. (:
Me and Sarah also cleaned and organized the fridge and the pantry. I seriously wish I had before and after pictures, because then you could realize our full awesomeness. But regardless of this, let me just say, THROW AWAY LEFTOVERS IF YOU DON'T EAT THEM. To imagine how bad it was, just think about this, all those containers of yogert did not have yogert in them.... duh duh duh.
Tomorrow is our 48 hours off! I am super excited as I'm visiting my friend Jessica in Montreal! eeeee! I am also taking a train for the first time ever in my life! Intense craziness I know, right? Anyhow I will for sure update you on all that greatness as it happens, perhaps like a type of play by play. Or, maybe when I get back. On Monday it's back to work for me, sigh, but the week after I house manage again with Rye-Rye, and then the week after that I'm back at work but then living with a French host family! I know, I can't even comprehend how apprehensive I am about the things coming up in my life.
I've also applied to two different programish things, so I will tell you guys of my next adventures if I get accepted to any of them.
Also if any of you like poetry or black and white photography check out my other blog. Thanks for staying tuned, sorry for not updating sooner, but my next post will be uber awesome, I promise. Lots of loveeee!
Love the update. Totally trying the volcano bread. We love hummus here too! Especially with artichoke hearts and lots of garlic :) Thanks for the shoutout - sweet!
