Yeah, it's no lie...

...I am really full. I made Veganomicon's BBQ tofu for dinner, although I could never ever get my brothers to eat it. *Sigh*. It was good. I had it in a sandwich with sourdough bread, some mustard, and green onions. Um, yeah. It rocked. I had to keep adding additional peices of tofu, though...Heh.
Here it is!!

Up close...


The reason that this is my second post for one day is that I'd like to go into a little more depth of why I created a blog.

For one reason, I hate language arts...so maybe writing more will make me discover that I really do need to learn more, and that there is a reason to learn how to make appositive phrases, as daunting and dumb it may be.
Ugh.
Another reason is how I feel that actually interacting with the vegan world, as in having a blog, will help me to grow more as a vegan, which is honestly very important to me.

And even though I have a personal journal, I just love to preserve everything I can, especially how I feel right now as a teenager, so I can look back and laugh and point at the crazy things I've said.


I decided to commemorate my vegan-ness one more time with yet another treat, brownies! I used a modifed crumb topping recipe from My Sweet Vegan, and found the brownie recipe randomly.

Recipe:
2 cups AP flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup dutch process cocoa powder (or any type, actually)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup water
1 cup vegetable/canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9x13 pan.

Mix together dry ingredients; add wet ingredients and blend throughly. Pour into prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes.

Be warned, I didn't time mine...So I'm not exactly sure the correct timing, but I guess it really depends on the type of brownie you like. These are mega filling, so be careful! I kind of have a sugar induced headache...oops.
