[…] this game from Penny, who learned about it from the Post-Punk Kitchen blog (see Isa’s answers here) but the original blog post that got this game started is here. Long story short, it’s a fun […]

why do most traumatic childhood memories involve a perm? I know mine do…

Hmm….good question, Isa. I went to WF and walked through the bulk aisle until I found a bin labeled “vital wheat gluten.” I didn’t read the rest of the label, so I have no idea if there were other identifying features or names. As I said, I’m a complete wheat gluten virgin (and not too bright, either). Sorry I couldn’t be more descriptive, but I would LOVE some tips for the cutlets in the coming days. For what it’s worth, I don’t care if mine were ugly and kinda fally-aparty: I made a double batch and froze a bunch, and have been loving them. Seriously yum-tastic.

Sarah, what kind of wheat gluten did you use? I’m going to post some tips for the cutlets in the coming days.

Thanks, Isa! (I asked it on the first day with cutie animals). Maybe I’ll work on the loaf concept. I just loved the cutlets, but never (ever) having worked with wheat gluten before (yes, gasp - a vegan who has never made her own seitan) I was not sure mine were as lovely (and sticky-together-y) as they could have been. So I wondered if perhaps a loaf would better (for me). In any event (no matter how unattractive) the cutlets were seriously one of the best things I have made in a long time. So thanks for the recipe(s- all of them!).

Sarah…sorry, I didn’t see it! I think it would need a few modifications to work as a loaf. Probably a higher chickpeas to gluten ratio. I can’t find your original question, sorry!

I’m glad that Amazon worked fast to get that baseless review down - yay! I guess enough people emailed and reported it.

Hi Isa,
I asked you a question like a week ago and didn’t get an answer - any chance you could tell me if the chickpea cutlet stuff would work as a loaf instead? (see my original question for why I have no idea how stuff made with wheat gluten works).

Dill pickles are sublime and perfect. All other pickled foods are just dill pickle wanna be’s.
