Food Thither And Dither

Is that code for nonsense? I hope.
Here are some random food bits from the last few days.
My mom's birthday cake! I made this extremely rich and delicious vegan coconut cake. I am a messy cake baker, but we all enjoyed it!


Next, one of my favorite ways to fill my belly. Fresh baked ciabatta bread, olive oil-n-herbs, and some red wine. Yum!


A familiar favorite: biscuits and gravy a la The Dirty South. I've been using a mix of unbleached white flour, whole wheat, and spelt to try and be healthier. It tastes really good too.



And finally, my under-researched but steadfast conclusion...raw tahini just doesn't do it for me. I am a die hard fan of the crazy good potency of tahini. The raw was so...bland. Anybody tried one with a kick?

I don't know if I've tried raw tahini. I always assumed all tahini was raw, but I guess it makes sense that regular would be made from toasted sesame seeds. Silly me. I know I've used regular tahini in raw dishes and not thought anything about it.

The cake is so cute! Love the flower. And I love your Sugar Hooker canister. I think I've said that before, but I just wanna reiterate that it is awesome.

Oh, that cake looks so good.
I haven't tried raw tahini before so I can't offer any alternative brands.
