Vegan MoFo Day#27-Peanut Butter,Jelly,Grilled Onions,Brussel Sprout,and Tomato Sammich

Peanut Butter,Grape Jelly,Grilled Onions,Brussel Sprout,and Tomato Sammich

okay,how good is jelly in savoury things?

i quess i never really thought of it until i got this smucker's jelly cookbook which uses jelly in just about everything,savoury and sweet.and then i thought about that rayray article from last winter for pb&j 'wings'.

so i decided to pair up pb&j with grilled onions,brussel sprouts,and tomatoes.

it's kind of all about the grilled onions and salt n pepper b/c it way balances out the sweetness,but combined with the tomato is like eating burger toppings.and peanut butter on burgers works,amirite?

and brussel sprouts just because it needed a green and why lettuce when cooked brussels was what i had and i guess makes it feel seasonal.

i mean,look at those grape-jellied grilled onions!delish,right?!try iiiit!or atleast something similar...

Vegan MoFo Day#15-Peanut Butter Ice Cream Wars at Lula's and In My Heart...

vs.

so about exactly 11 months ago i made my first trip to lula's sweet apothecary and had,what i claimed to be,the best ice cream i've ever had in my life-yes,better than foster freeze's french vanilla softserve,better than ben and jerry's cookie dough or the banana one,or the one with the brownies and almonds,yes,just the best ice cream ever-lula's peanut butter fudge.

perfectly salty and sweet,incredibly peanut butter-y,with like hot fudge swirls in it,but it was frozen hot fudge,and zedohmygawd,it's what made me keep going back to this place so freakin' much.and of course,coming back to nyc,i get to have it all the time,and it's only improved.

though of course,not there's an issue...it may have met it's match...

pb&j ice cream.

seriously.the same crazy good peanut butter ice cream,but with strawberry jam.and if yr kittee,jess,or really any vegan i knew in 2007,you know how i FEEL about strawberry jam...

so,basically,i'm still undecided.fun.

i'll make up my mind soon enough,when i can try them together in a bowl sometime.

temporary solution?

eat ice cream and pray that you get there on a day when they're both in stock.sometimes life is just SO hard...

i mean,it DID happen ONCE...

but i was overwhelmed and can't remember.sigh.

Vegan MoFo Day#4-PB&J Malt!!!and More Peanut Butter Ice Cream

PB&J Malt.
pb&j ice cream
strawberry ice cream
malt powder
from lula's sweet apothecary.

this was basically like the best thing i've ever drank.and when i was in 11th grade i went through a phase where every single day after school i would make super thick smoothies with like 2-3 bananas,medjool dates,a TON of peanut butter and a lot of vanilla or chocolate soymilk,and always thought that those were the best thing to drink ever,but this was way better.zedohmygawd.





but that wasn't all of the ice cream this weekend.or peanut butter ice cream.
so that was saturday,and really,i was supposed to go have a sundae on friday,but didn't because i ended up doing this

and a few other things instead,so i went back to lula's on sunday for sundae sunday,which is when brad and his 'posse' all get sundaes.

peanut butter fudge ice cream,strawberry ice cream,cake batter softserve,whipped cream,maraschino cherry,sprinkles,and a singular ginger newman-o.simple!


melty.


like a pb&j with chocolate?


because this post is supposed to be just peanut butter:close up of peanut butter fudge.




this was a (thick)strawberry-cake batter shake.


mmm.

okay.well then.i will have more posts about peanut butter and ice cream during mofo,so watchout.oh and sammiches.sammiches and ice cream.

of ice cream and coffee.

first ice cream back in new york:
vanilla malt ice cream
peanut butter fudge ice cream
cake batter softserve
sprinkles.
thanks,blythe.
best first thing to eat(besides the coffee)when getting to new york.



from lula's sweet apothecary,of course.

hi.i moved to nyc for school a few weeks ago,and have been really busy and still will be,but i thought i'd share some sweet stuff that's been going on.yay!


pb&j ice cream
banana walnut ice cream

2nd time at lula's-in a big cup.probably my new all time favourite-the pb&j that is.
sweet n salty with just enough jam,zedohmygawd.


and third time's a charm;
banana split,pb&j ice cream,ginger molases ice cream,peanut butter fudge ice cream,cookies n cream ice cream
whizzers(vegan m&ms),1 crushed ginger newman o,whipped cream,maraschino cherry,banana


brad.




cherry.

i also went to stogo


i had peanut butter fudge and salted caramel pecan.
i was really excited b/c they had soem pretty excitied flavours,but the peanut butter fudge was really watery and icy and i didn't want to finish it-shoulda sampled it first,that's what happened with the oatmeal raisin cookie flavour,which i really wanted.don't see how you could eff up a peanut butter ice cream,but whatever,at least the salted caramel one was good.
