First, sweet potato + kale enchilada casserole. It was superb! I didn't really have proper layering items, so I used torn up pieces of flat bread mixed with bits of tortilla. Soo good.
I had an intense Boston Cream donut craving, so I thought, why not try it in cupcakes. The goo in the middle didn't taste like the donut sauce, but it was still awesome! I made half the batch with the filling inside and half, I cut the cupcakes and gave them middle layer.
I have been wanting to try spring rolls for awhile. The first round I made when I was tired and impatient, so the filling bits were too hot and started turning the filo into dough. The trick is to let the filling cool completely before assembling. I also threw together a sweet and sour sauce with red peppers, pineapples, tomato paste, tamari and who knows what else. It was pretty tasty. The side dish was a hasty noodle salad with radishes, cucumbers, spring onions, carrots and a sesame/tamari/ginger/garlic dressing. Spicy and simple!
Love this new place, the October Cafe near Old St. The owner was lovely + I had a yummy mango milkshake and the most stellar cheesecake in the universe. Serious. I can't wait to go and try their afternoon tea!
