10/2: another weekend

...of trying a few new things in the kitchen.  Yesterday I made vegan sisig, which we enjoyed again for dinner today.  This afternoon I made a red velvet snack cake which we had--without frosting--for dessert tonight.  I'd made red velvet cake in the far past, but in general it's not my favorite.  Chris likes it, though, so I wanted to give it another try.  And eating it without frosting made me realize that what I don't like is the combination of the delicately flavored, light cake, the heavy cream cheese, and the double layers of both.  On its own, the single-layer cake was lovely.  I'm looking forward to having the rest of it in the course of the coming week.
