wow.

i used half my sauteed onion for the potato filling, and left half in the pan. added more butter, dumped in some quorn. stirred that, adding more butter as needed (this is MEANT to be rich)... in a bowl, i poured in a little of my no-soy sauce (marmite, water, salt, angostura worcestershire sauce), whisked in a bit of flour, stirred in two big spoonfuls of sour cream. Added the quorn/onion mixture.

WOW. this is amazing. It's so tasty. I'm boiling an egg to add to it, too. Boy says it tastes like beef/hamburger stroganoff without the mushrooms or the rancid taste of meat. (okay, rancid was my addition.)

It doesn't taste just LIKE meat, but I wouldn't like it if it did. It's an adequate substitute, though, and should make a fine pirozhok filling.

i try not to overdo my quorn consumption, as i AM highly allergic to mold and anaphylactic to penicillium (particularly the strain used in brie cheese and other moldy cheeses). but damn, it's so yummy.

Oh man, I'm hungry...

I'm being so naughty. My metabolism has slowed down massively, so ANYTHING I eat results in extra pounds and I'd like to lose a few. Of course, I need to *eat* in order to speed up my metabolism (despite my frequent food porn, I don't consume enough calories on a day to day basis). This is far richer than anything I normally make, but I have noticed that after making pirozhki, I tend to *feel* better and am more likely to consume enough for a few days so that my energy levels rise and I can start the exercise I need to actually have a decent metabolism. ;)
