The wifest makes absolutely awesome seitan. the seitan itself is very easy to make, apparently. and every time we make it, satan from the spawn soundtrack gets stuck in my head. Thus far we've used it to make gyros, and last night we made 'ribs'. the ribs were pretty spicy, which i think is because of the ceyenne she mixed in with the seitan, but she's convinced it was the Sweet Baby Ray's barbeque sauce. i'll get her to love the stuff soon, cos it's the best barbeque sauce you can buy. i think.
anyway, cleaning up seitan is insanely difficult. before it's cooked, it has the consistancy of rubber. no, really. and soap does nothing to change this. so you wind up with little rubber strings wrapped around your sponge or dish brush. but, last night i figured it out. i just let the bowl sit with some diluted vinegar in it overnight. this morning, the seitan was all puffy (like when you first take the lid off of it, and it's expanded to twice the size), and i just rinsed it off. i think lemon juice would probably have the same effect.

I can’t believe you posted a whole entry about doing the dishes.
Paprika, baby, paprika.
sorry, i’m kinda dumb when it comes to spices.
yeah, i know, it’s very domestic, but it was like a weird chemistry experiment. i was telling my dad about it last night, and he was all wide-eyed and fascinated.
