Banh mi today (this is your fault, Hec)
I take full responsibility. I actually tried to make my dinner sandwich somewhat banh mi...ish. I only partly succeeded but it wasn't a failure either. (My instincts weren't bad but I think I know how I could correct on at least two fronts. All hail Salt Fat Acid Heat.)
I used to make vegan Shepard's Pie for JZ all the time. The meaty part was soy crumbles sauteed with mushrooms, with mashed potatoes on top.
I only have the tedious little bits to address before our trip to Japan but they're the kind of things I avoid until I wake up at 3am the night before and realize I need to address them or we're fucked. So...probably tomorrow.
We are leaving on January 22nd which is pretty fucking soon.
