Triumphant Falafel

For lunch today I had a big falafel roll with houmous and salsa.. it was so good! And what's better is that I made the falafel all by myself! *gleams with pride like a four-year old*
I absolutely love falafel, I've tried numerous times to make it, usually using the mixes you buy in the boxes but it always turns out disastrously! Everything sticks to the frying pan and you end up with these really horrible oily half-falafels (if you're lucky!).
However I found this recipe on Vegweb, its perfect, you just mash everything up in a bowl, shape it into balls and put in in the oven, no frying pan nightmares needed! It turned out quite yellow because of the turmeric but it tastes amazing!

Also recently I bought Taifun tofu cocktail sausages. I don't usually buy processed tofu, let alone meat-style products but my curiosity got the better of me. They tasted okay, I suppose, they had that strange hot-dog texture but I definitely wouldn't buy them again. It just reminded me of how happily I live without meat!
