I came back on Saturday, feeling like crap from having slept too little and traveled too much. But yesterday I went to bed at 20:30 and this has kept me going today at work!
Whenever I'm hungry, I transform into a horrible monster that wants to eat NOW. Whatever. But now. So this is going to be a sample of what I cook when I get hungry-cranky!
On Sunday, I cooked the rest of the cauliflower, which was screaming at me every time I opened the refrigerator. I wasn't feeling original, so I just cooked it, and ate it with a store-bought tomato and olive sauce I had bought the day before. (Somehow, I had foreseen that Sunday was going to be tough...)
I don't like this photo, but it just wasn't pretty. I'll get over it.
I had a side of fries with it, because... Do I need a reason? Because I was cranky and feeling like crap.
See? Unhealthy food photographs better...
Today I had a good idea and a bad one. The good idea was to buy this:
A new brand of vanilla soy ice cream. It tastes great! Maybe even better than tofutti ice cream? If you are in Germany and want to look for it, I found it in Tegut, but it's new, they didn't have it until last week.
And the bad idea was to cook this:
I admit that it doesn't look bad, but it was! This is what happens when I get too hungry... I used puff pastry instead of pizza crust! (I did it on purpose, and I knew it was a bad idea because I've done it before...)
It's just not good... The pastry under the tomatoes isn't done, but I had to take it out because otherwise it would've burnt. Bah, I'll survive this as well...

Welcome back! Congratulations on your graduation! Drop me a note when you get a chance - I want to ask you some questions about German vegan food. Best wishes!

I heard about this ice-cream years ago but never had the luck to find it over here. Do they have other flavours too?
Nice to see that the tofu ice cream is now available abroad. I am Swedish and have been enjoying it for many years, even long before I turned vegan. And many of my non-vegan friends love it, and prefer it compared to milk based ice cream.
Is vanilla the only flavour available in Germany? Several others are part of the Swedish line, including chocolate, raspberry and moccha.
I'm sorry you're feeling like crap. i feel the same way, I just NEED to eat, and I end up eating crappy food that's gross. Yuck! Sorry to hear that puff pastry was gross, it looks REALLY good.
Ahh, so sorry that you're not feeling well :0( But hey, I'm glad to read that you had fun in Madrid!!
Awww... hope you catch up on your sleep soon! :0(
When I'm hungry, I turn into a monster too!! Just a question, I'm thinking of chopping the cauliflower in a blender then stir fry it with some pasta sauce ... do you think that will get rid of the cauliflower 'taste'??
*jealous* I want yummy soy ice cream ship into AUS!!!! hehehe....
Puff pastry as pizza base?!! OOooo.... u just turned a pizza into a TART!! hahaha...PIZZA TART!!
heh! I'm lame ;0)
hahaha you sound like me on my "cranky days" I just want... well whatever I want!! and I usually have it (ie fries would be on my list)
get some sleep and feel better :)
Aww I hope you feel better soon. Going to bed early is always comforting:)
That pizza looks delicious, but after your description I guess I can see why you didn't like it too much. Better luck tomorrow!
I love it that you post your bad ideas too. I'm so full of bad ideas and yes, a LOT of them are repeat offenders (you'd think I'd learn, but apparently I don't :P)
Well, the pizza looks great anyway and you never need an excuse for fries. They are a food group after all ;)
Welcome back =)
Is it still cold in Darmstadt? I was freezing my ass of yesterday, but it's getting sunny again. Tomorrow I'm probably going to complain about how it's wayyy to hot =p
YUmmm, that tomato olive sauce sounds great. I haven't had olives in a while and now I crave them.
You also reminded me that I have forgotten about the fabulous cauliflower... I'd happily steal this plate from you =)
Aww mean, there's no tegut store in Berlin.
And crap about the puff pastry. I bought some moooonths ago and have never used it. When I remembered it and wanted to make some blueberry pockets I realized it wasn't vegan anyway. But your pizza sure looks deliciious!
I hate it when I'm hungry and have to make something- I often cut corners, too, and then, well, regret it! Oh well...the pizza does *look* good...
What an action packed short trip! I bet you are exhausted.
I become a cranky monster when I'm hungry too. Your cauliflower would have been fine with me!
Too bad your pizza didn't turn out, it looks beautiful.
We all get like that sometimes, I guess. Your pizza thing looks good though!
i had french fries last night - i just love 'em when i am super hungry and getting cranky 'cause i'm so hungry, too! that ice cream looks awesome - i'm glad it was stellar! sorry you were feeling down, Alice! i hope this week improves for ya! hang in there, girlie! :D
ooh a new soy ice cream brand! how exciting..especially since i'm a huge fan of tofutti!
and what a shame about your pizza..it really does look pretty tasty despite how it really tasted haha. :)
I hope you're feeling better now... can't believe anything made with puff pastry is bad!
That pizza looks great. Sucks it didn't taste great. I love puff pastry!
And your cauliflower pic is very pretty. I like the contrast between the white and the red.
Welcome home!
Aw, sorry to hear about the pizza. Welcome back, though. Soothe your worries in another bowl of ice cream!
You're right-- it doesn't LOOK bad. But I'll take your word for it that it was. Oh well, what a good excuse to have soy ice cream for dinner!!!
Welcome back! I get the same way when I'm hungry - I just need to eat, NOW. I don't usually have the presence of mind (or patience) to actually cook something though, so I usually just end up doing something silly like eating peanut butter straight out of the jar. Not pretty.
I go for carbs, carbs and more carbs when I'm cranky and hungry. The bowl of fries is looking pretty good :)
