It's shroom-hunting season! And thanks to a local forager, we found ourself in possession of half a soccer ball's worth of Hen of the Woods, AKA Maitake. Biff decided to oven roast it, using a simplification of this recipe, and it was SO GOOD and so easy that we're sharing it here. (We had so much shroom that Biff ended up oven roasting a pan's worth of them, then stir-frying the rest with collards and bell pepper, and the oven roasting came out notably more delicious.) RECIPE! )

We got a couple requests for the recipe for Mac's uber-gay birthday pie, so here it is!  It is a version of the 'Lowfat Berry Pie' recipe from our copy of the Moosewood Cookbook, which is awesome and has lots of great recipes.  This pie is pretty easy, which is good when you're already making a big dinner.  It only takes about ten minutes after the pre-baking.

So, I guess Biff decided he really wanted to be on my good side for my birthday, so he planned this big delicious meal for me as a gift.  He baked a chicken, stir-fried some kale, and toasted some rolls, and the chicken came out amazing, but NOTHING compared to the amazingly gay pie he made me.  Seriously, look at this thing!

A delicious pink berry pie.

It's a raspberry blackberry pie.  Cost a fortune, all those berries, but oh man, so worth it.  This pie was AMAZING.  I'm going to want it for every birthday after this, because WOW.  The pie didn't last the evening.  RIP, pie.  You were much beloved.

Good job, Biff.  I like you.  You can stay.

It’s me and Mac’s anniversary!  And so, in honor of our seven fabulous years together, we are posting the recipe for our wedding cake (which we are baking once again today)!  This cake is delicious, easy, and vegan! (Even though none of us are vegan, and neither was the couple who gave us this recipe.  Funny story.)

  1. Preheat your oven to 160 degrees C, or 320 degrees F.  Also grease your round cakepan.

  2. Mix the following ingredients:


  • 3 cups flour

  • 2 cups sugar

  • 8 tablespoons cocoa

  • 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3. Make three holes in your powder mixture, and in them put:

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

  • 10 tablespoons canola oil

  • 2 tablespoons of vinegar

4. Pour two cups of cold water on top of this and mix.
5. Pour your cake batter into your pan and stick it in the oven for an hour.
6. Pull out your fantastic cake and ice it if you want. (Mac and I usually just glaze it with honey.)
7. OM NOM NOM NOM!
