For over year now, I have been a fan and evangelist of seitan, sometimes called Wheat meat or Buddha Food, which is a dough made from the vital gluten of wheat. But up until recently, I was using store bought packages rather than making my own. However, I decided that needed to change. Here I am, […]

In the Words of Ron Burgandy…
I’m kind of a big deal. 🙂 … or something like that. I did want to say that I was recently given the opportunity to guest post on so you wannabee a Domestik Goddess? which was a great opportunity. I really enjoyed reading through her site. I got a lot of recipes and gardening ideas while my […]
Eating Sci-Fi
Every now and then I hear something on the Food Network that I want to try. And every now then I think I’m going to regret it. That was my dinner several nights ago when I decided that I wanted to try a mocahete, which I was pretty sure was a fantastic Mexican dish (in actual fact, it’s […]
Food Wars: Carnivore, Vegetarian, Vegan, Raw
So I’m vegan. I don’t really talk about it too much on Blog Well Done because I am afraid I might scare off some of my hypothetical readers. I wasn’t always vegan but got inspiration from, vegan4k.com. In fact, when I was still doing blogspot.wordpress.com, I was a carnivore, though given that my wife was […]
Mexican Pinto Beans
Even though I said I’d be doing a lot of Chinese cookery over in the blog, tonight I decided to finally break down and make my own refried beans. I found this little article on how to make them. The article described a fast way and a slow to make them. I went with the […]
Chinese Cooking
Chinese cooking has long been an topic at which I have turned up my nose. For many years, I was awash in a sea of Panda Expresses, crab rangoon filled with Philadelphia cream cheese, and MSG-laden Chinese buffets. A lot of that had to do with college. During those four years, I looked at Chinese […]
Spicy Hot Seitan…
Over on I Am The Animal, I wrote about a new seitan recipe I created. The recipe came about because I wanted some spicy asian food, but I didn’t have any sambal or sriracha. So I used lots of red pepper flake. Here is the recipe: Red Pepper Seitan. If you have never heard of seitan […]
Mmm… Shogun
Tonight we went to my favorite sushi place…Shogun in Overland Park, KS. (Yes, Kansas seems an odd place for the mecca of sushi, but I’ve eaten sushi in every town I visit. Shogun is best, though Maki in Irvine, CA isn’t too shabby.) So there’s only one problem…I’m vegan. I do have an ace up […]
I Made Ketchup
Okay, there’s a big part of me that feels a certain culinary snobbery should prevent me from being as happy about this as I am, but I can’t help it. I made ketchup. My wife was making vegan meatloaf (which was really quite excellent, especially when topped with my ketchup…) when she realized that we were out […]
When I Am Sick, I Crave Junk Food
I don’t get it. I really don’t understand. At a time when I should be loading my body with fresh fruits and vegetables and all the vitamins and minerals that entails, all I want to do is eat two things: hot and sour soup and friend wontons. This has been the meal of choice for […]
