Adventures in Mock Meat: Part One Addendum

So the seitan is simmering away. The process of making it wasn't difficult, though I added a lot of extra gluten flour, maybe as much as 3/4 cup, just to be able to knead it without it sticking to my hands like crazy. The kneading was fun, though - a little easier than bread dough, maybe because of how little there was to knead.

So I used some Kosher pareve chicken-style bouillon powder, a bit of Italian Herb blend, and a tiny bit of cumin in the seitan itself, along with some chicken broth made of the cubey version of the same stuff, with one packet of light soy sauce. (n.b. I've decided never to buy soy sauce. Restaurants just throw it at you, and I can't think of a recipe where I need more than a few tablespoons at a time. Frugality!)

DBF is up and about, but just up enough to be playing Fable (one of my favorite video games to which to listen, because of the awful/awesome accents and fairy-tale tropes in it). So I continue with kitchen adventures. Making mashed potatoes for Vegetarian Bangers and Mash, using 'Kielbasa' and a Vegetarian Gravy recipe I found on allrecipes.
