Hi guys and gals
Since entering the blogosphere my list of foods to make has just been growing longer and longer by the day! And it's ALL YOUR FAULT for making such awesome looking foods and sharing them with the rest of blog land.
I took this week as an opportunity to start making my way through them all - no easy task believe me.
First up was River's Meatless Loaf
I've had my eye on this ever since River posted it and rabbit totally convinced me with her version.
My haul of UK goodies that I smuggled home with me included some Realeat Mince which I just knew would be perfect for this.
And it was.
This recipe is awesome!
I didn't have any adobo OR Mrs. Dash seasoning and in all honesty I don't even know what either of those things are! So after a consultation with aforementioned bunny I ended up using a quarter of a teaspoon each of Mustard Powder, Paprika, Chili Flakes, Onion Powder, Garlic Salt and Mixed Herbs. And I subbed the half cup of Tomato Sauce with a half cup of made up Bisto Gravy.
Ahhhhh....Bisto!
Obviously I don't have any photos (SOB) but don't take my word for it anyway - nip on over to River's and rabbit's and have a look at theirs.
Second up has to be the most AMAZING Soup I have ever had in my life.
EVER.
And as most of you know - I have had a LOT of Soup.
This little beauty I have The Vegan Slaughterhouse to thank for.
It is called Peanut Tofu Thai Soup and I command you all to go forth and make it.
I totally stuck to the recipe on this one EXCEPT (haha) I used Cous Cous instead of Rice because I thought it would be more "authentic" (don't ask) and I didn't have Maple Syrup.
The Cous Cous worked FAB and I don't know what difference the Maple Syrup would have made because to improve on this recipe just doesn't seem possible.
It really is an amazing Soup!
Thanks for all your comments last week - all your support has just been wonderful. If there are any more fingers and toes left to be crossed then you could wish me and Mr treehugger luck on Monday - we have just put an offer in on our dream house!!
*SQUEALS!*

Good luck Hippy and Mr Hippy! Dream house, hey? I'm crossing everything for you guys, if (sorry, when) you get the good new on Monday I hope you can find a camera and show us a pic of the new joint (or at least tell me ALL about it! Please?).
*Squeezes* Best of luck buddy.
Glad you liked the loafage, that River is a darn genius I tells 'ya! I followed her recipe the best I could with the British ingredients at my disposal, and my strange aversion to measuring/ doing as I'm told!! LOL! Rivers recipes are rabbit proof (ie *FAIL* proof!) she rocks socks. I love her!
*Throws snowball at Hippy and runs away*
GOOD LUCK!
I've been meaning to try River's not-meat loaf for ages...
Congrats on the house! Best of luck!
I love the blogging world too. I can't believe how willing people are to share their recipes.
Yes! Camera reappear so we can all see your new place (I'm just certain it will be yours) and all the yummy food you've been cooking up!

Jeni,

Heres the dressing recipe
Goddess Dressing:
1/4 cup sesame seeds (ground in coffe grinder)
1.5 Tbsp Nama Shoyu (or braggs liquid aminos, or dash of salt)
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, chopped
1 Tbsp honey or agave
2.5 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (unpasteurized)
1/4 cup olive oil (unfiltered, cold pressed)
1 clove garlic, diced

1/2 Tbsp green onions (opt)
1/2 Tbsp parsley or cilantro (opt)
Blend all ingredients in a blender. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks, longer if you don’t add herbs/lemon
to the dressing until prior to serving.
Thank you so much mouse.
:)
I winged it for tonight's dinner but I am definitely making this in the future.
Thanks for all your wishes folks there seems to be a problem with the land registry but nothing that a bit of paper pushing won't sort out. We should be putting a deposit down sometime this week.
And yes River - rabbit is a genius - those cuppies are superb. The only bad thing about them is that they are not in my tummy.
:)
congrats in advance! I hope you get it. it's very exciting news.
the soup sounds really yummy. I just had some soup from the freezer and now peepa is licking the bowl. peepa loves his squash :)
Am i too late to cross fingers! oh i'm crossin 'em anyway! Good luck!
That soup sounds amazing, anthing with peanut butter in gets my vote - i'm gonna bookmark it!!
