blinding you with science

PROBLEM: An overabundance of random vegetables in the refrigerator and a very empty stomach.

HYPOTHESIS: Combining said veggies with spices and dressings and encasing products in a flatbread wrap will lead to yumminess and satisfaction.

MATERIALS:

1 cucumber
1/2 medium red bell pepper
2-3 stalks of celery
1/2 medium onion (hey, how about the half left over from the artichoke recipe? GENIUS!)
1/2 ripe avocado
1 dill pickle
fresh spinach leaves
veggie lunch meat of your choice (Tofurky Deli Slices are quite suitable, other brands work as well.)
2 tbs yellow or deli mustard
1/3 cup Vegenaise
1 1/2 tsp dill
1 tbs garlic powder
1 tsp seasoned salt
dash apple cider vinegar
tortillas (whole wheat, sprouted wheat, and brown rice varieties are all acceptable)
vegan cheese slices

PROCEDURE:

Chop all vegetables (and fruits, for accuracy’s sake) and pickle into medium-small pieces and place in a medium bowl. Add vegenaise, mustard, spices, and vinegar and combine well. Adjust seasoning to taste. Practice lab safety measures at all times.

Spread filling on flatbread/wrap of your choice, lined with spinach leaves, veggie deli slices and vegan cheese slices. Consume with vegetable root chips.

DATA:

Upon combination, vegetables and spices take on an enticing aroma, however, appear less than appetizing. Researchers are doubtful of its level of numminess.

CONCLUSION: Despite fears of brutal breath, researchers partook in wrap consumption and were highly pleased with results. The cool and crisp filling proved satisfying yet light enough to be a perfect summertime dish. Researchers hypothesized that the products could be formed with many different reactants, and that variation of the formula could be very beneficial. Possible materials include curry powder, jalepenos, lime juice and rind, diced and steamed tempeh, sprouts, hummus, vegan cream cheese, and much more. Researchers feel confident concluding that this recipe, er, experiment’s results are easily repeatable and will be greatly appreciated in the scientific community.

    This is by far my favorite post you have made. The lab equipment and graph paper added a really nice touch. It sounded tasty also. Keep up the good work.
