I only don't really like pretend meats. :(.

This is a pet peeve of mine, too. I get it that you have soy, tofu, seitan, quorn and the likes sometimes, but I don't understand the weird fascination people have to make vegetarian or vegan version of every meat dish.

I've been incorporating more vegan dishes to our menu and I googled to see if I could find a nutritionally balanced weekly vegan menu. One of the menus I had a look at was PETA's two week menu plan. That was so weird, so many of the dishes were even called something like "vegan chicken stir-fry". They used seitan or quorn in place of chicken. Why not just call it a vegan stir-fry or even seitan stir-fry, why do you need to put the word chicken there? :rolleyes:

Tofurky, tofu tuna, vegan chicken wings, vegan ribs etc. I'll never understand that.

And the beer I'm currently sipping is Põhjala Valge Öö, a strong ale. Pretty good, have had better.
 
I really need to sit down with my pork barbacoa recipe and de-carb it.

But, ya know, math. :shudders:
 
Baked common white fish stuffed with herbs and lemon, green beans, roasted cherry tomatoes and fennel and green apple salad, beurre blanc.
 
Strike the above.

We have people coming over so I'm making Ca kho to with rice and assorted veggies.

Pic? Or at least a rudimentary decryption...
(An auto correct that works :p)


And yes, I can Google it but I would rather hear what Seela has to say :)

Sorry, no pics. It was gobbled down very fast, but it's a staple for us so I'll try to remember to take a pic some time.

It's a Vietnamese dish, fish simmered in a sticky caramel sauce. The way I've learned it from a friend, you also add a bit of bacon in it, but now that I checked out none of the recipes use bacon. But I think it works there very well, so I'm gonna keep on doing in the way I learned.

It all sounds very weird, but tastes good.

I'm ok with weird sounding, good tasting food :)
Thanks for enlightening me! I had never heard of it.
 
Making cinnamon rolls now, then pizza dough for tonight. I am carbing it up.
