Activities and Crabcakes

Today Tony had a mandatory happy hour after work. That sounds like enforced fun, which is never a good thing, except that he's the head of the party committee, so he signed up for this responsibility. Also, the head of the party committee gets free drinks. Anyway, it was a longer-than-usual day for me and the kiddos, but we had plenty to do.

We started off the day with some bathtub art. I made "paints" by mixing baby shampoo, cornstarch, and food coloring.


Next, a trip to the bouncy house. Olivia became ensnared in the shark's jaws, but since she is a ninja ballerina, she was easily able to free herself.  


Jackson wasn't feeling the bouncy castles (or sharks) today. He was in a Bob the Builder kind of mood.


Afterwards, a trip to Target. Hulk smash!



Dinner was Chesapeake Tempeh Cakes from Vegan Brunch. An old favorite. Served with steamed kale with a tahini-lemon-garlic-smoked paprika dressing.



One great thing about an activity-filled day: the kids didn't protest bedtime at all!

Urban Vegan Tester #3 - Old Bay Cakes

These Old Bay Cakes, from the Urban Vegan's upcoming cookbook, are a vegan version of crab cakes. I've never had crab cakes, but apparently the ideal crab cake is light and flaky.  That's exactly how I would describe these patties. They are made of tofu which, when combined with the other ingredients and pan-fried, really does take on a tender, flaky texture.  We ate the cakes on their own with a squirt of lemon juice, but they'd probably also be good on a roll or burger bun.
