The hype is big and I was very excited to make the most popular recipe to come out of Veganomicon. Oh dear are these good - too bad I had no plan other than to make them (the baked variety). I made a bunch to freeze and eat throughout the week. Now, after serving them sliced with ketchup for dipping (Papaya) and diced with pasta, asparagus and basil (me) I have bagged them up and have all sorts of great ideas for the six I’ve got left (I made a double batch).
Vegan food is good people, I swear.

My whole house smells of the fresh coconut I chose to include in this recipe from the Post Punk Kitchen!
Edited: they sucked, too bad.

I read a book as a fell asleep one night last week, woke up sure that I would spend the next year eating a vegan diet (possibly longer). My primary reasons are health and of course there are follow on reasons (ethical, environmental) that come with research. Please, don’t take this as a judgment of anyone else, this is what is right for me at this time in my life and I’m enjoying it to the hilt.
For example - my house smells amazing right now as I’m using up last week’s leftover butternut squash in Spicy Arabian Butternut Soup. It smells so good I can hardly wait for lunchtime! I’m watching the front door like a crazy woman waiting for what I’m sure will be my new cookbook obsession - Veganomicon. I am very lucky o be living in Hawaii where the ability for such a varied diet is here year round, and to be somewhere that Dr. Shintani has blazed the way and made healthy food available in some of our local restaurant chains.
Think I’m destined to a life of salads? Look here! I’m feeling great - lowering my cholesterol, cancer risk, diabetes risk, the list goes on and on and on.

They (mermaids) were hiding in the seaweed
I remember that - when I was a dragon I could fly over the ocean.
And I could have wings.
Mermaids was jumping out of the ocean!
A blue fin and a pink fin and a green fin with with jumping over the ocean!
And the fish were jump over the ocean too!
See? the fish jumps!
Pink ones and orange ones I like!
And Uncle Pono could fly over the ocean too, and Uncle Pono could jump out of the ocean!
Auntie Aute was waiting for Uncle Pono to pick her up.
The Airplane goes over the ocean to Scotland.
And Uncle Pono says Auntie Aute is with my Daddy named Adventure Dad.
And Papaya is going to fly over to Scotland this way.
Daddy named Adventure Dad will get to see them (mermaids) in the ocean.
They (mermaids) could hide with all while Papaya was being a mermaid I could jump out of the ocean.
The Green mermaid said “yes! she said that”
I could jump so high and fly!
I like to jump so funny high! I’ve been doing that!
Papaya did not get a boo boo in the sand.
And Papaya jumped so high!
Awww aww ahhhh they sing that.
They sing quietly, they sing to the dragons.
And we would get and the dragons won’t get all the babies will be so happy that it won’t get them.
And Papaya could get her special prize.
And everyone could come to my family.
And special prize and the flowers will grow so big!
And I could go to the store and buy some food again, and that could be my special prize.
And Uncle Pono could come to my house and be so happy for me.
And everyone could get my special birthday candy, and the stars could go in the sky and the moon could come up.
That could be my BIG SPECIAL BIRTHDAY.
And the friends could be so happy - Poppy could come to my house - all my friends could come to my house.
My friends everyone - (Kawika) he’s happy (Kobe) yes!
and Auntie Aute could come and hug me all day.
When everyone comes I could dance - they could tell me I was dancing and jumping so well.
And sometimes they could hug me all the time - they could hug all their and everybody will come.
and I will be happy with my Mommy!
(Daddy) he going be so happy with me, all the time he could hug me.
At my special party and all the mermaids could come and then I could get my special candles.
To get my special party come, all the people could come.
Because Mommy could be happy - and Kawika could dance with his Daddy and Mommy.
Poppy could dance with her Daddy and Mommy
and Papaya could dance with Papaya Mom,
and we could dance with everyone dancing.
And we could dance with all the boys dance and the girls dance too and Ms. Renee and Ms. Caren too!

Um, uh, please stop? by Papaya Mom on September 6th, 2007
Maybe it's that Papaya woke up last night crying and proceeded to spend a few hours throwing up every twenty minutes or so, but today I'm a bit cranky.
