Chore Day, Oct 17, 2020: Baking WFPB Mac and Cheeze and Almond Poppy Seed Cake
/
Today was a yard work, laundry, baking day. The yard work was part of my long term project to remove the mountain of sequoia needles that our big tree (90-feet tall) drops on our house every year. Whoever planted that tree ten feet from the house 40 years ago wasn’t thinking straight. I have about six more bins to fill before the ground is clear.
The laundry was…laundry.
The baking, however, was intense. It’s been months since I’ve dedicated a day to trying new recipes. The whole food, plant based mac and cheese looked like it would simple to toss together, but it had it’s complications: the preparation was more than I’m used to doing for an “easy” dish. Recipes tend to look simple and easy when you see them done perfectly in an eight-minute well-edited Youtube video. When I try them myself, I experience all of the shopping for ingredients, the preparation, the kitchen gear, and the cleanup of the sink full of dishes these recipes generate. The upside is that I have enough great food to last a week.
