It's October! The new VeganMoFo month! This is my first year participating, so I'm both terribly nervous and terribly excited. I've made a resolution not to overly think in my writing, and focus on the main event: the good food! And all that relates to veganism.
October is probably one of my favourite months of the year. Pumpkins, crunchy leaves underfoot, scarves, hockey season really begins, my biirrrthday... Really, October doesn't even need that spooky holiday we call Halloween. Now VeganMoFo makes the month of October even more interesting. Yay!
Because today kind of sucked in reality (sleep-deprived and, well, sleep-deprived), I'm not going to wow you with wonderful vegan meals that I cooked today. I'm one of those people who is lucky enough to have parents who cook a good square dinner everyday and insist we all sit down to eat as a family of four. Okay, there's never any "insisting" actually happening - we've always, always sat down around a table to eat dinner, so it's been a deeply embedded tradition that will probably never break as long as we kids are still around.
I somehow feel like I should stick in a picture of the four of us at the dinner table just about now! Alas, no picture exists. Also, I've never taken pictures of the dishes my parents cook for me. (Oh hey, I think I've found a potential future VeganMoFo post!) So you're probably thinking: what am I hanging around this blog for?

I know you're only looking for porn! Don't these look porntastic?
These are the Jelly Donut Cupcakes for Veganomicon. They're super easy to make, and I - whoops - "broke" one as I was transferring them from the pan to the cooling rack, because you know that "broken" cupcakes are meant to be eaten piping hot from the oven. Hell yeah they're good! If you want the true Jelly Donut look, you might want to get the most generic jam on the shelf, and stay away from any of the low-sugar stuff, because those will tend to be more watery and lighter, because that was probably why my cupcakes look like...a bursting ripe-red flower. Or an overflowing volcano. God, that picture gives me the giggles everytime.
After I scarfed down the first, I sent the rest off to my relatives to enjoy on one of their weekly Saturday dinners. I suppose my grandma took a few home with her, because a few nights later, she called and told me that she had eaten the last of the cupcakes for her breakfast, and she really liked them! It was really sweet.

I pretty much had to cool all my dinners after i went veg in HS. I was really into waffles then.
I'm working my way through the cupcake book. The jelly ones that you made look really good.
