Filling the belly bit by bit (original) (raw)

OK, all. So, I am attempting to revitalize this thing. I really do feel passionate about food and food issues and am so interested in learning more around the politics of food and in adding to my ever expanding knowledge of what I put in my belly.
So, I'm going to try, at least once a week, to post something of relevance here- articles, recipes, questions etc.
I would love to make a food zine- that's a more long-term goal, but for now, I thought I'd put this space I created to some use.

VEGAN(PEACH?) CRUMB CAKE-
2 cups flour (I used a random mix of spelt and kamut so you can't go wrong)
11/2 cups brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon (I probably used extra)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup vegan margerine
3/4 cup vanilla rice or soy milk (natura soy is very rich so might be good)
1 tsp vanilla (again, I think I used more)
egg replacer equal to 2 eggs
11/2 cups peaches, finely chopped (I used slightly mushy pears and it was GREAT)
1 tbsp brown sugar
Heat oven to 350 F. Lightly oil an 8 inch cake pan and set aside. In
a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder,
cinnamon, salt. Stir in marg. and combine with hands until well mixed
and forms corse meal. Set aside 1 cup (at least! It's so good!)
Add milk, vanilla, egg replacer and fruit to remaining dough and stir
gently until just mixed. Spoon evenly into cake pan and spread the
reserved mixture on top of cake. Sprinkle top with 1 tbsp of sugar
and bake 40-45 minutes.

Also, does anyone have thoughts on fish? Health wise, environmental wise, animal rights wise... I'm just curious.
