I have been massively out-flogged lately... but I will now break my long silence for pizza and brownies.

I am back in room-mate land again, living with Katie in a lovely, homey uptown apartment whose windows offer a beautiful vantage of fights outside the Fox and Fiddle. I am once again nice and close to my friends and we've had some pretty good dinners and potlucks here in the last couple months.
Tonight Katie, Owen and I made pizza and peanutbutter brownies. Both turned out delicious!

The pizza, on homemade whole wheat crust, had tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, green pepper, artichoke hearts, black olives, hot peppers and caramelized onion. One side with smothered in the "teese" I bought in Portland. Vegan cheese generally sucks a lot but teese is pretty not bad and if you turn up the heat enough it actually melts. It tastes pretty passably like mozzarella. The other half had some goat cheese on it.


The peanut-butter brownie recipe came from the cookbook "Sinfully Vegan" and was dense, chewy chocolately deliciousness. The peanutbutter swirl part is peanutbutter, maple syrup and silken tofu whipped together in the food processor then swirled into the brownie batter with a knife.
