17.09.2011 Take a walk on the MoFo side

Anyone try these yet? They’re whole wheat raisin cinnamon rolls from Trader Joe’s.
I think calling them cinnamon rolls is a bit confusing since, okay, they have cinnamon & raisins & they’re rolls, but these things aren’t gooey or really anything like a traditional cinnamon roll is expected to be, more like bread that happens to have raisins in it.
I still find them absolutely brilliant when toasted back to life, occasionally drizzled with room-temp vanilla frosting, and slowly taken apart to eat.
They’d make for great sweet (and even savory?) sandwiches, too.

Props to Trader Joe’s for allowing us vegans to take a small break not only from reading labels (most things that are vegan are noted as such), but also from baking when we don’t feel like it.
If I were musically-inclined, I’d write love songs to that Joe dude. Which he’d undoubtedly find extremely creepy, they always do.

In other news, do you MoFo? I will. You should too, if you haven’t signed up already: the deadline for doing that is September 28.

I was going to post a few sneak peek pics from the things Tami & I have been doing together (!), but I think I’ll save some of it for when MoFo begins. I am theme-less at the moment and certainly don’t want to make it all about self-promotion, so I’ll try to come up with something else that won’t make you snooze too hard.

Maybe I should do a safety in the kitchen series? Because I attempted to have a sniff of my food, then got confused between nose and teeth (it’s all the same to me) and slammed my teeth against the side of the bowl.
“Congratulations! You just chipped + fractured your left front tooth. It’ll be $240.”
I wouldn’t write love songs to my dentist, for the record.

Come to think of it, all of this probably makes me anything but qualified to write about safety in the kitchen…
