First Post, Finally! (aka Vegan Pad Thai Attempt)

Hello, world.  Welcome to our humble blog, in which we will be chronicling our culinary adventures.  Wine Tuesdays originally started as a way to experiment with cooking and to learn a little bit about wine.  We try to use fresh, local ingredients and like trying new California wines.  I try to stick to a vegetarian diet (and Tyler usually obliges) but I often make exceptions for seafood...and a burger every now and then!  We've been meaning to start this blog for awhile, so we have a bit of a backlog of restaurants, recipes, and wines to share.

And so, on to the first meal...which ironically does not involve wine and was not made on a Tuesday.  Oops.

Menu:
Vegan Pad Thai (based on Chloe's recipe)
Sierra Nevada Hefeweizen

We really liked this Pad Thai recipe - it was a quick and easy meal for a busy evening.  We used half the amount of broccoli called for and instead added some fresh zucchini to the mix for a different texture.  Pretty sure I forgot the cilantro garnish, oh well.  The sauce was a little runny and bland (might try using thick soy sauce next time), but all in all pretty decent and I would definitely make it again!
