Man, I would have to find a nickname for Veganomicon, because I trip over it just reading.
Coincidentally, I've been skipping around looking for good bulgur chili recipe. I was going to make it tonight, but then I realized my onion is... squishy. And that can't be good.
I've been going through a couple of my cookbooks making notes of recipes that might work, and I've actually found more than I thought I would. What I'm hoping to do is actually have a more varied diet than I've managed lately, and I think I can pull it off as long as I do some planning each week.
I cook with ground beef a fair amount, and that would be easy to just swap out with fake meat, if you're into that kind of thing.
Recipe review -
Really good. note: Peanut butter is the protein. Actually, vegan, not just vegetarian.
additions - lemon rind as additional garnish
Personal preference: more ginger.
kids: - there is a tiny bit of a bite at the back of the throat from the cayenne, but not sure anyone who doesn't like spicy food would notice.
Thanks, beth, I'll add it to the list!
Maybe I'll blog this--committed carnivore goes sorta-kinda vegetarian for 40 days. Will she make it? How many times will her work lunch consist of Easy Mac or a peanut butter sandwich?
Oh, I tried a recipe tonight, modified from one in Vegan Lunch Box, that was really good. Mashed sweet potatoes, with about 1 tablespoon each of orange juice and almond butter per sweet potato added. Plus a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg and ginger. (I really dislike sweet potato recipes with much extra sweetener added. This was REALLY good.)
My lunch is freqently dinner leftovers. Vegan Lunch Box has lots of good lunch ideas, too. [link] and [link] . Her recipes are sometimes a little too health-foody for my taste, though.
Interesting lists from Esquire: 10 Things you don't know about women.
There isn't a woman on that list, so far, that I agree with on all ten, I think. Some of the ones I disagree on are quite telling about the woman in question.
Betrayers to their gender.
You know, I was just going to type that I wouldn't really mind if the Giants win, with the scrappiness and whatnot, but maybe I won't have to betray my roots after all?
Go Pats! This game is not going like any predictions I heard.
