Yes. It happened.
Scene: Friday night. 10:18 pm. It was a night full of the merriment that is planning for the well being of our university's SEA, as well as general smorking (smiling working), which was quickly followed by the distressing realization that was the lateness of the present. And we had to bike home, too. Yes. I was exhaustapated (exhausted + constipated, but not actually the second part...), BUT I had the joy of riding my sexiest of sexy with along side my sexiest of sexy ;)
Short story long, we got home late. And I was tired. And the house was a mess but I was tired. (Those long days in the sun will gettcha!) But alas, of course by some less-than-divine intervention I was caulk-blocked from entering the blissful evening release that is my precious slumber. Ie, my brother (with whom I share a room) wanted some alone time for heaven knows what. Regardless, my bliss was taken from me and I wasn't going down alone. No cocaptain goes down without her ship... or her respective cocaptain.
....So Gabies! What'd ya wanna do at 12:30 in the morning? I know. MAKE VEGAN CHIA SEED PUDDING.
And not just any vegan chia seed pudding.... the recipe for said delight from none other than Mother PETA herself. No honey, tho. You know, bees' rights, mannnnn. Here's how it went down:
Ari: "Gabies, it's late. I'm tired. My bed is confiscated. Distract me."
Gabriel: "OMG a video about GOOGLE."
Ari: "No help. Ok. I've got it. Let's make VEGAN THINGS."
Gabriel: "....right now?"
Ari: "Hell yeah! It's go time."
**Prompt interlude to the kitchen**
Ari: "Ok. First ingredient... Almond milk."
*Fridge check*
ZOMG we're out!
--but not to worry! Ari knows best--
Solution: quick batch of fresh blended almond milk delight. Mmmm. A recipe within a recipe, you say? It's heresy! ....or is it genius? I'd say its a wonderful batch of whole-foods MAGIC.
I then promptly instruct my neophyte friend to blend 1/2 cup fresh almonds with two cups of water.
Gabe: "It's that watery? No, here, lemme add a few more almonds."
Oh little one. So naive to the ways of the impromptu world of vegan cooking.
"Trust me on this one."
Insecurities aside, the almond milk was crafted and the chia seeds gelified. All that's left is mix and wait. Then mix some more. Then wait some more. While our puddin' be chillin'. In the fridge.
While I was a bit over protective (I assembled all necessary ingredients and tools beforehand, and anxiously looked over his shoulder at his every waking move), he did this without a single bit of help from me! EEE GADS! And he didn't want a bit of help from me. He told me to "move out of my way" more than once. Yeah. It's late. Ima let that one slide.
And here he is! Daw, lookee at my man makin' food stuffs. It's a beautiful sight.
Regardless, our chia seed pudding should be a beautiful sight. I'll let you know in the morning after it's 8 hour refrigerated festering time. It is imperative, you know.
....or not. Here's Gabies offering me a less-than-heaping spoonful as I sit and blog about his very creation. Premature? Sure. Delicious? Definitely.
Ya did good, kid. Ya did good.
Oh yeah, the recipe.
