Lammas Eats

Lammas (also known as Lughnasadh) was August 1. It's one of the three harvest holidays celebrated by modern-day pagans, and it's all about the bread. There's also a Christian holiday called Loaf Mass — one of those stolen holidays from back in the day when the Christians took all the pagan holidays and made them something else. Couldn't they just come up with their own holidays? But I digress.

I celebrated on August 1 with bread, of course! I've been baking my own sourdough for about a year now, and I recently got some baguette pans so I could try a new shape. Before, I'd only made boules. There was a recipe in the Llewelyn's Sabbats Almanac for Sausages and Tomatoes on Bread that sounded really good, so I veganized it with Field Roast apple-sage sausage, farmer's market cherry tomatoes, and my baguette slices. The sausage and tomatoes are all roasted together and mixed with lots of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. So good!


For dessert, I made a Blackberry Cobbler from that same book. It was a naturally vegan recipe, so that was easy. 



This was a super cakey cobbler with a thick layer of soft cake atop mixed berries. Best enjoyed with a scoop of Coco Whip on top. I brought the leftovers to work to share with co-workers, and it was a hit!
