Tubole, Magis Mexican Grill

Bienvenidos a Tubole, Magis Mexican Grill!  Maria and Melissa will fill your tortillas and Andrew will wrap them for you, but not before he utters this rap:

All right Magis its time to eat dinner

A little sustanence for all you saints and sinners

being a teacher to be a bread winner

We hope it will sustain

Sustain that brain

that makes knowledge rain

in the city street lanes

and on the Nebraska plain

hopin' it doesn't cause too much abdominal pain

If Maria says, "Mi duele el estómago!"

Then Motter will put on a free puppet show

I sweat this food will make your face glow

Our burritos are truly the best thing

Almost as good as songs by Andrew Wessling

If you don't like rice and beans and think guacamole's a bore

salsa's a snore

and my rhyme's pretty poor

Then you might be punished by Darth Jake Moore

So not let's take some time and thank the one who saved us

And no it's not Sarah Davis

Or even the guy who thinks he has all the power

cuz when women listen to him and say Senor Bauer

This meal is the greatest not the least

We all know Peter Cunnungham balls like a beasrt

All right let's thank the founder of the this feast.

Ice-Cream Sandwiches (made with vegan cookies!)
Note: The sandwiches should be made ahead of time so the ice-cream has time to set.  Allow time for the cookies to cool and then fill them with ice-cream, wrap, and freeze overnight.  This recipe is adapted from "Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar."


Ingredients:
4 cups flour
1 1/3 cups cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups sugar
4 Tablespoons flaxseed (dissolved in 4 Tablespoons water)
1 1/3 cups soy milk
1 1/3 cups vegetable oil
3 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (these are vegan!)

Directions:

1. Mix flour, cocoa, soda, powder, and salt in a large bowl.
2. In another large bowl combine the sugar, flax seeds, and soy milk until airy and smooth.  Add the oil and vanilla and mix well.  Mix in half the flour-cocoa mixture and combine.  Add the remaining.  Stir in the chocolate chips (add more if desired/needed).
3. Spray baking pans with oil spray.  Place cookies one-inch apart (they will spread out a little).  Bake at 350 degrees for about ten minutes.  Cool completely.
4. Create sandwiches with vanilla ice-cream and for any vegans, use almond, soy, or rice ice-cream.  Freeze overnight (or for several hours).
