A VeganMoFo Survey

I love lists and surveys. Anyone who knows me knows that at any given point I have at least 4 lists going, for work, home, goals, recipes, etc. So here's a list of questions that I will answer and that you should answer, too. At the very least it could count as your VeganMoFo posting and it's way better than the "when's the last time you puked from boozing" quizzes on Myspace.

1. Favorite non-dairy milk?
Rice Dream original enriched mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with Blue Diamond original Almond Breeze. Perfect! Not too thin and ricey, not too almondy.

2. What are the top 3 dishes/recipes you are planning to cook?
Seitan and dumplings
Tamales
Butterbean and rutabaga soup

3. Topping of choice for popcorn?
Flax oil, nutritional yeast, salt, and coarse ground black pepper. (But I'm a big fan of flax oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt, too.)

4. Most disastrous recipe/meal failure?
I think it was a chai or eggnog cheesecake and I didn't puree the tofu long enough. It was chunky and runny and looked like vomit. Luckily it somehow tasted good enough for Mike and the kids to enjoy.

5. Favorite pickled item?
jalapeños or okra

6. How do you organize your recipes?
I don't. I write them on scraps of paper and shove them in notebooks to deal with someday. I want Mastercook, though. I think it will save me.

7. Compost, trash, or garbage disposal?
Compost unless the dog is really annoying. Then she eats all my scraps.

8. If you were stranded on an island and could only bring 3 foods...what would they be (don't worry about how you'll cook them)?
kale, soybeans, brown rice. I'm hoping I'd somehow be able to make miso with some sea salt from the ocean, too.

9. Fondest food memory from your childhood?
Meemaw making cream of potato soup for me. Mom making guacamole on Sundays.

10. Favorite vegan ice cream?
So Delicious Peanut Butter Zigzag. No question.

11. Most loved kitchen appliance?
Food processor

12. Spice/herb you would die without?
Cumin or thyme.

13. Cookbook you have owned for the longest time?
Laurel's Kitchen.

14. Favorite flavor of jam/jelly?
Real homemade concord grape. or jalapeño!

15. Favorite vegan recipe to serve to an omni friend?
vegan cupcakes or cookies will always win them over!

16. Seitan, tofu, or tempeh?
Seitan! With tempeh as the next runner up.

17. Favorite meal to cook (or time of day to cook)?
Dinner/late afternoon

18. What is sitting on top of your refrigerator?
sourdough culture, kids toys that have been confiscated, and a big aluminum pan that's good for carrying cupcakes.

19. Name 3 items in your freezer without looking.
kale, popsicles, spud puppies

20. What's on your grocery list?
oatscreme, wheat gluten, basmati rice, masa harina, butterbeans

21. Favorite grocery store?
The co-op! Miss Market, Seward, or Wedge

22. Name a recipe you'd love to veganize, but haven't yet.
Mom's Chess Squares. Pretty much every ingredient isn't vegan.

23. Food blog you read the most (besides Isa's because I know you check it everyday). Or maybe the top 3?
FatFreeVegan
VeganYumYum
Vive le Vegan!

24. Favorite vegan candy/chocolate?
Green and Black's mint chocolate or Sunspire's chocolate coconut thing that's like a mounds bar.

25. Most extravagant food item purchased lately?
I didn't buy it, but I really want a gourmet salt sampler...but it's $114 on amazon. I just can't justify that.
