plan b

Confession time.  I wimped out on the last holiday gift.  I had planned to spin a skein of sock yarn for a good friend and fellow sock knitter.  It is now December 15^th.  In just under 24 hours all hell will break loose in my house.  Not a bad hell, just situations that I have no control over.  I needed to give up on the last fiber gift.  I have a hard time calling Madelinetosh giving up.  But Madelinetosh Black Current  is on the way.   If only all plan B gifts were like this we would stop fighting about Plan B.

Time for food.  I regularly make Veggie Pot Pie.  Like a Chicken Pot Pie, only double veggies and a white sauce made with veggie broth.  MMM is it good.    Occasionally I will make a Sheppard’s Pie.  This happens only after a fair bit of whining from the carnivores in the house.  This evening I was flipping through Veganomicon and found a recipe for Stewardess Pie.  The same pie you know and love but substituting tempeh for the beef and a mushroom sauce for the gravy.  Yeah, I could have come up with it myself, but I did not stop long enough to do it.  It is what is for dinner tonight.
