Anyway, tonight I'm making a seitan/veggie pot pie. I saw one on a blog recently and can't for the life of me remember which one, so I'm winging it with the recipe. Seitan's in the steamer... and silly me, I must make my own pie crusts which is a giant pain in the ass, but better than frozen, I guess. I'm a glutton for punishment. I mean, I can make a decent pie crust, especially armed with my grandma's recipe. I just don't really feel like it today. I'm sure it'll be worth it though. Homemade is almost always the way to go.
In other news, I bought a giant can of pumpkin today. Oh yes. You just get ready, people. I'm going on a pumpkin binge that won't be over until January, I expect. I've never cooked with pumpkin before, but I've never been vegan in the fall before, and I am going all out. So stay tuned.
And tomorrow I will have a recipe for seitan and veggie pot pie and I have a hunch that it will be good. I hope. I've seen pot pies all over blogs recently, and even though I've never made a pot pie (or had a homemade one, as far as I can remember), I am up to the task. Ahhh..enough procrastinating. Time to make some crust.

I hate when restaurants do that!!
Sometimes asking does not even help. We recently ordered spring rolls from a Chinese take-out place. I specifically asked if there was meat in them and they said no. I took a bite and bit into shrimp. Apparently, I was not specific enough... I should have said meat or fish or shellfish or poultry or...whatever the hell else is left.
Have fun making lots of lovely pumpkin-y things.
And I can empathize about eating out. Now I live in the land of vegan options--NYC--but I spent the last year living back with my parents in central-western PA and the only place I really felt safe eating out was the Panera located 30 minutes away. I imagine, having family that lives there, that WV is even worse.
Sorry to hear about the near barfing experience. Bastards. I too have had restaurant moments where, a totally laid back me turns into a puddle of tears and screams when I realize there is bloody chicken in my VEG stir FRY! Bastards.
Jealous of your canned pumpkin...one of the sadest things about my current job in Brussels is that I can NOT find canned pumpkin anywhere....enjoy!!!
ooooooooo! i can't wait to see the seitan pot pies! mmmmmmm! were you talk'n about the ones mel made? i saw those and spent a good amount of time drooling over them! i bet i'll be drooling over the ones you're making, too! mmmmmmmmmm!
that sucks crap that there was cheese in your burgers. what the shit is that?! a**holes! damn, i hate when that happens! about 2 months ago dan & i went out with my folks to a local place, i asked about the veggie burger and it had mayo, the pita was cool - and i thought okay - we'll do the hummus with pita and a side of fries - yeah - the fries had f*cking beef fat on them. what i loved was that they weren't even suitable for vegetarians - what the hell?! i dunno - maybe i should have known with french fries, but still - i thought they were okay since they were being offered with the vegetarian meal options. dan & i were pissed. but hey, it happens, and yeah it sucks, but you didn't eat it on purpose and it's not your fault. jerks!
happy thoughts - that's what i'm sending your way! :D
i look forward to the pumpkin binge. sweet awesomeness!
lisa - that totally blows. i hate when people think fish isn't meat. um, duh!
sarchan - wv is terrible for food in general. i've been to nyc twice and had the most amazing food of my life. have you eaten at blossom? michael and i dropped over $100 on one meal, but it was SO TOTALLY WORTH IT.
cowgirl - no canned pumpkin? can you buy pumpkins and cook your own? that's kind of sad. and yeah, i'm the same in restaurants...totally fine and then WHAM! a complete mess. i'm pretty sure it drives michael crazy... he's much more laid back about it than i am.
jessy - it wasn't those... it was some huge rectangular seitan pot pie with leaves on the top as decoration. mine's not pretty, but i'll post about it once i get home from work. i shall say no more until then!
