How 'bout that?

I'm still in over my head with my upcoming exam and other life events taking place, but I had to come out of hiding quickly to express my excitement about winning second prize in Urban Vegan's Vegans Gone Wild! contest! Thanks, Urban Vegan!

Also, let me extend my congratulations to the first place winner, Diann! Her Extreme Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Tart with Caramel Sauce certainly looks like a deserving win to me, and I am excited to give it a go when I have the chance.

Urban Vegan will be posting the recipes later this week for all the hedonistic dessert submissions, and I will certainly be checking them out. Some of your entries I have already seen on your blogs, and let me tell you, the world of vegan desserts is a happy place with people like all of you around!

That's all--and now I dive back into my busy world... but expect a nice, long post from me with lots of pictures sometime next week! And thanks for all your encouragement. It means so much to me...

Hi Laura,

I was just reading over your recipe and had a question for you: does the pastry develop an air bubble? In other words, when you cut it to put the pastry cream, is it hollow inside, or is it more like cake? My mind is slowly preparing me to try my hands at this recipe...

Way to go, Laura! Your recipe looks amazing...and you get the box of chocolates! You are one lucky lady. =)

Good luck with your upcoming exam!

Congratulations Laura! Your profiteroles were a great idea and I can't wait to try them. Good luck with your exams.

I made your chickpea curry salad the other day and it was wonderful. The addition of raisins was unique but really lent a nice touch.
