Now that I told you about my boyfriends Birthday. Here's the food for mine:(he rarely cooks, bt when he does he always pleasantly surprises me). Because this is the type of stuff he makes when I'm not feeling well and don't want to cook:
Leftover tofu scramble(that I made), some watermelon, and a phony baloney sandwich on a stale freezer burnt hamburger bun with a tomato, no lettuce and just mayo yellow mustard.
But before all this happened he made me breakfast, Vegan French toast and I made the batter the night before for him.... So I wasn't exactly surprised but it was super sweet!
Served up with leftover icing from his cake lol!
My Boyfriend made me the most delicous 3 course meal, started with a Chilled watermelon soup:
Then the 2nd course was a salad with spring mix, and thinly sliced pear, toasted walnuts. With a raspberry vinaigrette, I forgot to take a picture of this.
The main portion of the meal was a pasta dish with a basil-cashew pesto, roasted cherry tomatoes, roasted peppers, and balsamic glazed red onions, roasted garlic and fake bacon strips.
I did have to make my own Birthday Cake (Although I really don't mind, any excuse to make a cake!) I decided to try my hand at Veganizing Trimasu. I'm not sure how close I actually got since I've never actually had the Un-Vegan version. But it has been approved and loved by a triamusu crazy omni. So I guess it must be fairly close to orginal version.
I made 2 layers of a midly sweet and midly flavored white sponge type cake. I made a cream cheesey whipped cream. Made with agar, soymilk, tofutti, cashews, coconut milk and a bunch of other stuff. I soaked the cake layers(after poking them with a fork) in Super extra strong sweetned coffee and lots of amaretto. I put a layer of the whipped cream mixture in the middle and a slightly sofented layer on the top with cocoa powder and chocolate shavings on the top.
Here is my prized work, still its springform pan prison!
I didn't breathe the entire time I slowly wiggled it out of the pan, but hey it came out in one piece!

Awww what a great boyfriend! Round here when I'm sick, I'm still the cook!
I love the look of that tiramisu!! I've never had either version, but I know already that I love it!
I just kind of zoned out looking at the Tiramisu and the Beer Cake - OMGoddess, what magnificent culinary feats! ...drool bucket, please...
Thanks for listing your blog link at Vegan Crunk...
I just don't get why non-vegan folks think vegan cooking would be boring and tasteless - this is proof positive to the opposite.
