The Fourth

Posted on July 5, 2019July 5, 2019 by jeffreylatty

Finding a new path on bicycle, bettering a route, experiencing new terrain – exploration is mindfully soothing.

Thinking, hoping, wondering can powerfully chime the mind and gut when an experience dreamt of becomes reality.

Unachievable quality photographs were the constant. Cameras will never surpass my eyesight with their precision and depth. When pictures cannot describe, we must rely on words.

A first Independence Day for this American in the desert was everything that was wanted. A bicycle ride, a couple of craft brews and fireworks overload happened tonight.

On a windy dry river trail, every direction faced, impressive fireworks were witnessed.

Flat Aco Two

Posted on July 3, 2019 by jeffreylatty

Sitting in the refreshing breezy shade

Dull subtly humming 101 loop buzz

Pondering food, pondering bicycle rides

Birds singing

palm trees dancing

Mountains distant, standing short and tall in every direction

The sun ever present

Adapting to the desert has been a trial/error process. Surviving while Riding a bike and drinking beer all day in Illinois was easy compared to riding a bike and drinking one beer for one hour in the desert.

CHEERS.

Pineapple Juice mixed with Seasonings, Scallions and Instant Mashed potatoes to act as a “Sauce” on a tortilla. This Tortilla with its “Sauce” was topped with Daiya, Avocado, Pineapple and a separately prepared meatless Crumbles, Corn and Garlic. This beastly flat Taco was baked for a bit, but heavy as hell.

Beyond Meat is an interesting Vegan food company. Not that I want to recreate meaty food ideas much, but exploration of new Vegan food ideas intrigue me.

Ride a Bike. Drink an IPA. Take a picture. Cook FOOD.

Pineapples were pan-fried and utilized. Daiya galore. A little Spinach and many of smiles.

Daiya Snack Attack

Posted on June 21, 2019 by jeffreylatty

In the past, Daiya Mac has been purchased just for the Sauce. Today, Daiya Sauce without noodles was purchased for the first time. Sesame Seed Pretzels were also purchased. One of the Sauce packets were opened and Pretzels were dipped and plated. After a couple of pictures were taken, these pretzels were happily and joyfully consumed.

Potato Chowder

Posted on June 17, 2019 by jeffreylatty

A Dill Weed and Almond Milk mixture was simmered to be infused with VEGGIES. Oil was kept away. Chopped Potatoes, Onion, Carrot and Celery were cooked into the Almond Milk creaminess for hours. The greatness was seasoned with Garlic Powder, Sea Salt, Pepper and Corn Kernels. True texture, flavor and versatility was happily achieved today:)

Huggiging Cacti and tapping Beeri, the desert has been amazingly mild this spring. Vegan food has been plentiful during this new chapter in my life, desert exploration.

A Corn ‘Chowder’ was created to evolve as the universe explains our own species, to collaborate. Potatoes, Hot Peppers, Onion, Carrot, Tomato were boiled in flavorful Veggie Broth before being smashed. Corn kernels were added. Deliciously served mixed with Vegenaise, Cilantro complimented this plate.

A day later, these leftovers were warmed with additional Veggie Broth and pre-cooked Rice (Wild & Quinoa) and Black Beans. Spinach, Grape Tomatoes were added to be saved in an ice box for another day.

DaiyaMelt Salad

A new Veggie patty was experienced and enjoyed the other day, differently.

The All-American Ⓥ patty was pan-fried in light oil to be set aside. Good Bread was fried appropriately with Earth Balance “butter” before being crafted with Daiya, Ketchup, Mustard, Grilled Onions and Pickles. Lathered with more Earth Balance, the patty was added and pan-fried, lastly.

Lettuce, Sunflower Seeds, Tomato, Northern Beans, Cucumber and grilled Jalapeno were topped with a Plant-Based protein-heavy Daiya Melt Sandwich, cubed.

A different take on an American ‘burger’ to be eaten with a forking fork without animal harm or discomfort.

Taquito Tuesday

Posted on May 15, 2019 by jeffreylatty

Ⓥegan (ready-to-cook) Taquitos do exist! They were delicious, yet expensive. These Ⓥegan Taquitos needed something to compliment their amazingness.

Ⓥegan Queso was prepared by simmering GarlicPowder/SeaSalt/Pepper/ChipotlePowder, Yellow/Green/Orange/Red Bell Peppers and Beyond Meat Crumbles in Veggie broth. After the mixture cooked down, Ⓥ Cream was added with a few slices of Daiya. Consistency was achieved and then transferred to be enjoyed with the Ⓥ Taquitos!

Happy Monday and Blackjack from the desert valley in Arizona.

Twenty-one days have passed in my Arizona-resident-acclimation.

Things are progressing well.

O’Brien Potatoes were roasted and broiled before being tossed in Earth Balance ‘butter’ and Daiya.

In a separate pot, Pickle Juice, Pepper and Garlic Powder were brought to a simmer. Northern Beans, (Instant) Brown/Quinoa/Wild Rice mixture, Beyond Meat Crumbles were added and heated until the Pickle Juiced infused and evaporated.

After the Daiya melted, the two seperate concoctions were combined with chopped Dill Pickles. Tortillas were warmed. Tortillas were stuffed and folded.
