A few times in July, 2026


I’ve been trying to cook more vegetarian options, as a general statement. I’m an avid omnivore, but Andrea trends toward vegan as often as possible… not something I know too much about cooking, unfortunately, but something that I’m absolutely trying to learn about.

Going through my notes, and thinking on what I could make, I had a brainwave: there’s an entire movie about cooking a dish that’s vegan!

Now, I don’t have a pet rat to help me cook. But I do have YouTube, and a nearby green grocer who I was pretty sure would have all the various bits that I’d need to make the dish. I watched it a few times, wrote down the recipe, and kicked it into high gear for making us a big old plate of deliciousness. And, if I may say so myself, I do believe it worked out quite well. Like… seriously quite well.

So well that we had leftover sauce, and I made the same thing again.
