VeggieViews Communal Cook-Fest!! - May 21st, 2016

[PTree15]

PTree15 that is a really nice table setting! We don't even HAVE a table! We just eat at our computer desks!
Jeremy is in the process of making a new chili recipe from "Appetite for Reduction." My tummy is growling already!

Thank you, Chryssie! I do a fair amount of eating on the couch, but I do really enjoy setting a nice table when I go all out on a meal (at least a couple of times a week, lol). This actually is the table we had growing up. My parents gave it to me when they did the snowbird thing in Florida for a few years. The dark wood really didn't go down there, so I got the table and chairs.

And chili.....YUM!

There are going to be some delays in getting my photos up as there has been a lot of stuff that has happened this morning that has got in the way of my cooking... might be a few hours away.

I look forward to your photos. I've not yet tried to make paella since I went veg*n.

Just using Jer's laptop to check in briefly.... no "movie night" this evening, but he went to his pal's to finally get him to watch The Martian.... I'm sure he'll munch some o' the cook-fest dish when he returns. I'll check back here when I get home in another three hours or so.
Until then, eat beautifully & stay awesome everybody!

The chili is really good! And fairly low in calories at 209 for a cup and a quarter which is a pretty good serving. Should be nutritious too!

I am sorry guys but I cant do the cook athon today, a whole lot of things has come up. Maybe I will do the next one.

I am just learning about this now. I must have missed something...lol

Great pictures everyone! Everything looks yummy!

Oh, sweetie, don't worry about it! You were involved nonetheless. Your heart was in it even if your schedule wasn't.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Jerry likes it!! LOL Yes, I forced him to eat that & pose for a pic... he still ate every last bit.

And so, this gets me thinking about what I mentioned earlier.... some folks missed it, it was only one day, and why the hell NOT do a weekend for slow-cookers?? The actual Lollapalooza is July 28th-31st... Howzabout a one-pot-only Crockapalooza weekend cook-fest then?! Easy, no pressure, take your time, no oven or stove time in hot weather.... let's just think about it, huh?

Well, I'm gonna have myself some tasty leftovers from this afternoon & play a game.

You all rocked it today!! Bring it in, dammit....

 

[Freesia]

Maybe I will take a picture of it tomorrow. I did cook it but I had a shocker of a bad day today. It got a bit burned so it is more of a brown colour than a yellow..

I don't actually have a slow-cooker, but I have been thinking about buying one.

Well, compared to all these absolutely gorgeous pics you folks have posted, my completed dish looks like a pile of slop. LMAO Albeit, some really damn tasty slop.... YUM, INDEED!!

Loaded breakfast potato hash with mushroom gravy.... all from scratch, totally vegan, & uber-healthy with only 2 twists of the sea salt grinder! LOL

I'm definitely going to try and make that myself.

Yes, same here, I don't have a proper dining table anymore.

Sorry about your bad day and that it didn't work out. I kind of cheated with mine, anyway. I never made the stew...I was too busy shopping for garden supplies in the morning and by afternoon I went to the beer tasting event. So I was out most of the day. The breakfast pancakes were so good I may try to duplicate them again today. I almost never measure or follow a recipe so I often pay the price by not having things taste the same way twice.

So sorry you had awful day. Glad you got to eat something tasty, though.

I also have some leftover stuffed grape leaves, with the tofu quiche and cinnamon blueberry coffee cake. I am not a big fan of champagne or orange juice, so I have a lovely Pinot noir in place of a samosa.

Very elegant dining PT. Do you drink the Pinot noir in one go ?

Thank you, shyvas. Not usually, despite my best efforts. However, I don't like to let it sit more than a day or two, so I suspect the rest will disappear later today.

I'm not keen on red wine after is has been opened for a few hours. I usually keep it in the fridge if I have some left over.
