Dining out

Last night, Vicki served up some delicious food. She made, from scratch, whole wheat pita, hummus, baba ganoush, tabouleh, and Israeli couscous. It was delicious. Whole wheat pita!

Nevertheless, it all required lots of time in the kitchen, so tonight we went out. Went to dinner at Fuel, which we had heard had some wonderful vegan options. We split their vegan nachos and a falafel burger - and felt like we could probably do better at home. Except that defeats the whole purpose, right?

So City Silo is still on our plus list, as is RP Tracks. Fuel, probably not. Any of you want to suggest someplace wonderful for our next "hot date?"

NOTE: The documentary Forks Over Knives, to which I was directed by Dr. Rebecca Walker, is available for free next weekend. Check it out:

Meat substitute?

On our last visit to the international market here, we got some King Oyster Mushrooms. When I looked them up, I read about them being a great meat substitute, so I immediately became interested, in spite of their appearance.  That is about 10 inches long. You slice it, marinate it (we used a mix of mirin and tamari), and cook it in a skillet, then serve it over rice, which now only comes in brown at our house. We also stir-fried some other veggies to go with it.  The result was not meat-like, although had the potential to be tasty. I think grilling might work better, but it's in the teens here, so I think that will need to wait another day or two.  I have also pulled the dehydrator back into regular use. Slices of mango sprinkled with chia do well. I also like Asian Pears. I do not like red beets, but made some beet chips for Vicki because I am a wonderful person who will gladly pass the beets off to someone else. Hold the humanitarian awards for someone else. Ha

Looks are deceiving

So dinner looked promising: It was not.  Abject failure. I withdraw my earlier comments about the Minimalist Baker. The "mozzarella" was something akin to Elmer's. We put so much Tiger Sauce on it our lips burned - but so we couldn't taste it that way. The remainder was disposed of appropriately. Nothing to add to this. Fail.
