I don’t know if it’s possible to be a vegan these days without developing something of a sweet tooth. I’m making cupcakes at least once a week, not to mention other sweet snacks. Here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to in the past week as I attempt to put my dentist’s kids through college:

These are some Autumn Cupcakes, a recipe from pimptasticfairy. Featuring pumpkin and oats, it’s a pumpkin pie in a cupcake liner. A solid, satisfying desert.

Mexican Hot Chocolate cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World. Absolutely incredible. I might have undercooked them just a bit, but they were incredibly moist, and it took all of my willpower not to eat the entire batch in one sitting.

Remind me why I’m starting another weblog, again? I’ve already got one which is almost 5 years old, and it’s carefully maintained and loved.

But I want to have a special place to talk about vegan stuff, where I can blather about nutritional yeast, rave about recipes, and hand out props to places I’ve been that are good to vegans. I don’t want to turn Tinctoris into a vegan blog, so the best solution was to make a new one.

So, that’s what we’ve got to start with. Okay, let’s go!
