Have you ever seen the Vegan Restaurant scene in the show Portlandia?
If not, i recommend tracking it down. :-)

I'll either have to borrow my housemate's TV or watch it on my confuser
via Amazon Prime videos.

I assume this is from Portland, OR. not NC or ME. The only "Old Post Office Cafe" I could find a listing for, though was Lake Tahoe, Californica.

You assume correctly. The skit i mentioned is in season 3, episode 4.

"Vegan cuisine goes under the microscope, with hilarious results, in this imagined scene in the very real Portland restaurant Prasad. A middle-aged couple have their first vegan dining experience and the comedy comes not
in the food, all of which is gobbled up within seconds, but rather in the symphony of fart noises that starts percolating on the soundtrack.
Fortunately for the couple, they are not the only gassy customers. In just
two minutes, the sketch manages to comment on a rising foodie trend
through the well-worn divide between smokers and non."

Title: Han Solo In Carbonite Cake
Categories: Cakes, Star wars
Yield: 12 Servings

12 oz Semi sweet chocolate
- chips (2 c)
10 oz Bag Ghirardelli dark
- chocolate candy melt
- wafers
2 2/3 c Almond flour
6 tb Unsweetened Dutch cocoa
- powder
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1/2 c Butter; melted and cooled
1 1/2 ts Pure vanilla extract
3/4 c Butter
1 1/2 c Powdered sugar
3 Eggs
1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1 1/2 ts Almond extract
2 1/2 c Almond flour
3 tb Corn starch
2/3 c Seedless berry jam
- (optional)
1/4 c Heavy cream
2 ts Corn syrup
1 ts Black gel food coloring
2 tb Water
2/3 c Semi sweet or dark chocolate
- chips

Han Solo in Carbonite! Han Solo immortalized in chocolate served on an
almond frangipane tart smothered in dark chocolate ganache.

Han Solo Chocolate Mold:

Melt the 2 cups chocolate chips and about half of the bag of
Ghirardelli melting wafers in a glass microwave safe bowl at 30
second intervals, stirring each time.

When the chocolate is completely melted, add in the remaining melting
wafers and stir until melted. This should temper the chocolate so it
is not too hot. If the added wafers are not melting place the entire
bowl of chocolate into the microwave for about 20 seconds and
continue stirring until melted.

Place the mold on a baking sheet. Pour in the chocolate. Pickup and
"drop" the mold back onto baking sheet (about 1" from bottom)
repeatedly for about 1 minute or more until bubble stop rising.
Refrigerate 5 to 6 hours or overnight until ready to use.

Chocolate Almond Crust:

Preheat oven to 375?F.

Place almond flour, Dutch cocoa and sugar into a large bowl and stir
thoroughly to combine.

Melt the butter at 15 to 20-second intervals in a microwave safe
bowl, just until barely melted and not too hot. Use a fork and stir
the melted butter into the almond chocolate mixture. Stir in the
vanilla.

Place the chocolate almond dough into a 12x6" tart pan with a
removable bottom. Press in corners, sides and bottom.

Bake for 10 minutes @375?F. Remove from oven and let cool while
preparing filling.

Frangipane Filling:

Preheat the oven to 350?F.

If using optional berry jam, spread the jam on the bottom of the
cooled baked chocolate crust.

In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the butter at 15 to 20 second
intervals until just melted, let cool 5 minutes if hot.

Stir in the powdered sugar. Whisk in the eggs. Then whisk in the
almond extract and vanilla extract.

Add the almond flour and corn starch and stir well until mixed
through. Spread filling into pre-baked chocolate almond crust.

Bake for 40 minutes @ 350?F. Let cool completely in refrigerator
about 1 hour or so before adding glaze.

Chocolate Ganache Glaze:

In a small saucepan, bring cream, corn syrup, black food coloring
gel, and water to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate
until smooth. Let cool about 5 minutes and spoon over edges and sides
of tart to cover.

I'd eat that .... ala mode. If someone else baked it for me. Bv)=

Title: R2-D2 Berry Parfait
Categories: Fruits, Dairy
Yield: 1 Parfait

1 Glass jar w/lid
1 sm Mixing bowl
1 Spoon
Vanilla yoghurt
Blueberries
Raspberries or strawberries
Blue, yellow, and red food
- colouring
Blue felt (opt)
Pen or marker (opt)
Scissors (opt)

Start by putting 3-4 spoonfuls of vanilla yogurt into
the bottom of the jar.

Next, put a layer of blueberries. Try to keep the layer
of blueberries even from the front to the back so your
layers stay straight.

Put another layer of vanilla yogurt (2-3 spoonfuls),
then another layer of blueberries.

You’ll need one more layer of vanilla yogurt (2-3
spoonfuls), then 1 more layer of blueberries.

Now, you’ll need to make the vanilla yogurt grey for the
top (and last layer) of yogurt.

In a small mixing bowl, scoop 2-3 spoonfuls of vanilla
yogurt. Add 5 drops of blue food coloring, 5 drops of
yellow food coloring, and 5 drops of red food coloring.
Mix the yogurt and coloring together until you get a
nice grey color.

If the grey looks too dark, add 1 spoonful of vanilla
yogurt at a time until you get a light grey color.

Then, put 2-3 spoonfuls of the grey vanilla yogurt as
the top and final layer of your parfait.

Take a napkin, wrap it around 1 finger, and clean off a
small space near the front of the jar.

Place a raspberry or strawberry in the clean space you
just made. Your R2-D2 Berry Parfait is complete!

OPTIONAL: Place the lid on the jar. Take a piece of blue
felt and place it on top of the lid. Trace the top of
the lid onto the felt. Cut out the circle you just made
on the blue felt. Take a piece of tape and tape it to
the top of the lid.
