Seven Things

Tagged by the lovely Beecah from Blinking Flights I shall now share seven fun facts about me.

1. I am quite small. I think I am bout 5'1 at most. My feet are also small. Size 4. Apparently good things come in small packages, so i'll leave it at that.

2. I am a keen baker and would love to own my own bakery come cafe. Of course I would live upstairs from it so I could breathe in the delicious smells all day and night.

3. I love Wes Anderson movies. My favourite being the Royal Tenenbaums.

4. I am going to start a sister blog to this one about my escapades in cooking and veganising food from the Maltese Culture. My partner is Maltese and his family have some great food which has vegan potential.

5. I enjoy reading Bukowski, Vonnegut, Palahnuik and Murakami

6. My favourite musicians are Elliott Smith, Rocky Votolato, Dead Man's Bones, Lady Gaga, Nirvana and Jawbreaker

7. I collect Little Golden Books. I currently have about 170.


I'm tagging Mandee, Cate, Renee, Lauren and Sarah

Unplanned temporary hiatus

Carbonara, Vegan Style

There's nothing like a creamy, tasty, vegan carbonara. Just as the weather is getting cooler, my tummy asks for filling, comfort food. This carbonara really hit the spot. I will post the recipe soon.

Sunday's scraps

What else is there to do on a Sunday except sleep in and have a massive brunch to put you in a food coma for the rest of the day

Vegan in The Mountains

On Friday night we headed to Katoomba for a show and decided to stay the night. For dinner we headed to Katoomba Street - the main drag, and checked out the local restaurants. We chose the Three Sisters BBQ Chinese Restaurant who had a good veg*n selection.

I got the Satay Gluten and vegetables and the boy had sizzling vegetarian Mongolian Lamb.
Both were generous portions and filled us up quite nicely.
The satay was just the right amount of spicy for me but I found the lamb to be really rich. It was really cool to see it come out sizzling on a hot plate though.

Using the recipe below, we made a Japanese favourite for dinner. This is great to use up those last bits of veggies hanging around in the fridge.
One Okonomiyaki pancake is enough to fill me up, this recipe makes about three plate sized pancakes.

Hair

I've been thinking about dying my hair again. I used to colour my hair like crazy years ago. This is the longest I have had the same hair colour since I was old enough to dye my hair. So, in inspiration here are a few pics.
