Ambitious Deliciousness – Dont Eat Lazy.

I recently came across this interesting article in the Huffington Post called Why My Food Is Always Gonna Look Better Than Yours. The author, Denise Vivaldo, states that her food pictures look so good that they “make vegans crave meat and forget about their animal friends.” Sounds great, right?

But if try to eat her food, “you will die of food poisoning.”

She points out that a lot of inedible ingredients are used to get the photos to look just right. After all, her goal is to get people to go out and buy the food she photographed! Fortunately for me, there is no shoe polish or glue in my kitchen, and I’m glad that I can eat the food afterwards!

I bought some oyster mushrooms the other day but they looked kinda strange. Are they supposed to look like tree barks? In any case, I diced them into tiny pieces. And while I was doing it, I pretended to be a ninja. It was more fun that way.

This recipe is a result of a random “let’s see if this would taste good together” experiment. Instead of breadcrumbs, I had crackers in a Ziploc bag from a trip and decided to crush them up. The verdict = yummy-ness. Success!
