Red Tofu Curry

I've been experimenting with different red curry recipes that I found online and came up with one that I like. This was my fourth attempt, and it turned out amazing!

 

Vegan Bibimbap

On Sunday, I tried out Maanchi's Bibimbap recipe. I modified it a little bit, sauteing different mushrooms to replace the beef and eggs. It turned out fantastic!

PushStart Kitchen, Atlanta, Georgia

Intimate supper clubs are popping up around town, and fortunately we were able to get a seat at the latest dinner PushStart Kitchen was hosting at the Goat Farm.

We showed up on Friday night in almost pitch darkness at the Goat Farm. Cristina greeted us outside at the parking lot with these two lanterns and quickly escorted everyone to the dining room.



The table...



Zach was putting final touches on the canapes that were, I believe, corn based and delicious.



The first course was celery root veloute, burned shallot, pickled heirloom apple, spiced cider gel, crispy farmers bread.



The main entree was supposed to be beef, but Zach substituted king oyster mushrooms for me. It was served with crispy thyme scented oats, roasted sweet potato, wild mushroom fricasse, queso fresco.



Dessert was parsnip cake, honeyed goat cheese, maple granola, cajeta, smoked sea salt.



After everyone started getting friendly with each other, Zach brought out his honey moonshine and Nicaraguan rum.



Everyone at the dinner LOVED food as we exchanged restaurant recommendations and enjoyed each other's company.



I appreciate PushStart accommodating my dietary requests, as I was the only vegetarian at the table!

Annual Holiday Soiree

We like to host a white elephant party in our home during the holidays. This year was really laid back. We had our good friends over, and some people were understandably out of town.







In the rare case that both my sisters and I are together, we really party!

Burnt Fork BBQ, Decatur, Georgia

I was drawn by the vegan items on the Burnt Fork BBQ menu, so we decided to drive all the way to Decatur for dinner.







All in all, it was good but not great. It would be a good option if I was in the Decatur area and hungry. Otherwise, I'd skip on over to Raging Burrito.

D.I.Y. Holiday Gifts

Most years I try to come up with a gift that I can take to the hosts/hostesses of holiday parties and people with birthdays in December. This year, I was inspired by my visit to The Meadow, as I referenced in my Portland post. The store is a wonderland of salts and chocolate from around the world, but most importantly salt. I never knew there was so many different types and varieties.

I started doing my own research and found a great resource to buy five pound bags. Thus my idea was born. I purchased a couple of different styles of Weck jars that I would fill with the three salts I bought and wrap them up furoshiki style to give as gifts. I really loved how the fabric and paper tags came together in the end.
