Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 hi Pat....my husband had hernia surgery today, so he's not having dinner...he's asleep in the recliner with a pillow on his tummy....I had a slice of whole grain bread and some raw cucumbers...not much, I know , but I had a pretty big veggie wrap while at the hospital long with some raisins and seeds. I was impressed the hospital had such a healthy wrap available in the cafeteria. Nancy - veggiehound Tuesday, May 11, 2004 4:25 PM What's On The Menu? Hi everyone!What's on the menu for today??? I'm looking at some asparagus and thinking I will make a Hong Kong dish we rather like that is spicy and delicious over brown rice. How about the rest of you? What's for dinner/supper?Best,Pat ;=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Ouch, Nancy :=( Sympathy to your husband - I can quite b elieve he doesn't feel like eating! Hope he's doing better soon! As for you and your healthy veggies today, that sounds great! And yes, whatever happened to hospitals that they have suddenly started serving healthy food? Incredible!!! :=) Take care of yourself/yourselves.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi pat I really enjoyed my dinner tonight, went to my new raised garden in back yard and picked spinach, romain lettuce, radishes, green onions brought to kitchen cleaned and put in salad spinner, it was so crisp and fresh. But I did not stop there,added green olives, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, sliced boiled egg, blue cheese crumbles and a great vadailia onion salad dressing. Funny ...skure seems like an awful lot now. oh, I forgot about the red wine, which really set it off. Ralph - veggiehound Tuesday, May 11, 2004 3:25 PM What's On The Menu?

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Sounds really really tasty!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Sounds sensible and tasty and not too long a process ;=) Tell me, what do you marinate your tofu in? I mean, what spices/liquids/flavourings? I usually use, depending on the recipe, Braggs AllPurpose Seasoning (or whatever they call that unfermented soy thing) or tamari with perhaps a little grated ginger and/or garlic. Oh, and sometimes a dash of turmeric powder for colour. Any good ideas? Best, Pat ;=) --- Helyn Highwater <helynhighwater wrote: > > How about the rest of you?

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 > Sounds sensible and tasty and not too long a process > ;=) Tell me, what do you marinate your tofu in? Actually, I buy it pre-marinated. Thai peanut flavor is quite good, as is the ginger soy. I add hot sauce and lime juice to spice it up a bit for either flavor. :^) ~Helyn Highwater Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Well, duh Pat *lol* Of course you can and therefore why not!!!! Silly of me. I don't - mainly because there are only two of us and we use about 1/3 of a pack of tofu at a time - so I buy plain, freeze some, use some, and marinate (if needed) as the occasion arises. Of course, I could buy the premarinated tofu and divide it up and label it as to flavour, couldn't I. That would save time and effort. *lol* sometimes I really really wonder what I am using for brains. It's just that we could only get the plain soy (or the dessert variety, of course) where we shopped in Ontario. I shall look for the other kind here!!! Thanks for that ;=) Best, Pat ;=) --- Helyn Highwater <helynhighwater wrote: > > Sounds sensible and tasty and not too long a > process > > ;=) Tell me, what do you marinate your tofu in? > > Actually, I buy it pre-marinated.

The packages that I get are fairly small, not tiny, but about right for stir fry for 2 or for 1 with leftovers. <G> Although that can vary, depending on what tofu to veggie ratio you like. > Of course, I could buy the premarinated tofu > and divide it up and label it as to flavour, > couldn't > I.

I've been a vegetarian since before I discovered the world online, have been online and on lists since the late 90's and only just this year thought to join any vegetarian lists. Doh! > It's > just that we could only get the plain soy (or the > dessert variety, of course) where we shopped in > Ontario. I shall look for the other kind here!!! Strangely enough, the only place that seems to carry it locally is Wal-Mart. I look every time I'm in a regular grocery store and have yet to find any elsewhere. ===== Helyn Highwater Listmama of Reed's Archery Range: ReedsArcheryRange " Us? Not interesting?

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Yes, I was a bit late with that reply. Maybe I should read all the messages before I reply in future! Seems it's easier to get over here (UK) than in the States - it's everywhere. Well, supermarkets & health food shops anyway. veggie hound [veggiehound] --- Viv Carbines <vc27 wrote: > Yes.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Whoops, sorry Viv! No, that was not intended as a rebuke at all - just kicking myself for not thinking of it ;=) 'I got that message' meant that I really really should go looking for the premarinated stuff, not that you were repeating a message already received! So sorry :=( And no, don't read all messages before you reply - that really is miserable to do because then one feels one can have nothing to say. Besides, for me, it's better to have several people tell me the same thing - it kinda reinforces what the advice is - rather than just getting it from one person, no matter how much I trust them ;=) Soooo my 'yeah . . .' message was meant to be tongue in cheek but I shall take more care in future not to sound off-putting.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 OK yesterday we had rapini on pureed fava beans (recipe from Madhur Jaffrey's _World Vegetarian_ cookbook) which were delicious. Today I dunno what we're having - we have some lovely fresh dinosaur kale, which is a start. Hmmmmm. What do you guys have on the menu for today? (Or what did you have yesterday?)

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 We are having some wonderful (but recipe-less!!!) home made and very thick vegetable and barley soup. It turns out differently every time because it is basically a 'clear out the fridge' sort of soup. This time it has broccoli stalks and a couple of escaped broccoli florets, potatoes, onions, carrots, onions, leek greens, tomato puree, chilli flakes, vegetable bouillon powder, saved vegetable cooking water and barley. I also have some delicious whole grain rolls to go with the soup. A favourite meal and a real winter warmer.  Cheers from Marie --- On Mon, 18/1/10, Pat / 'River' <drpatsant wrote: Pat / 'River' <drpatsant What's On The Menu?

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm making that sort of soup later today too, Marie Gotta do something about some carrots I've got, celery, sweet potatoes, onions, potatoes, etc. etc. etc. You get the picture (cuz you've just painted a similar one). Not sure how I'll season it, though, or whether it will turn out to be a soup or a stew. I've got cauliflower too. Thinking . . . . And some more fava beans . . . .

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I think for today I am going to combine garbanzo beans and cauliflower in the silver bullet and make a mock chicken/tuna salad.  Maybe combine it with potato salad, tomato and avocado.  'Do what thou wilt, but harm none'.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hi Pat,  I have just paid a visit to your blog. It all looks and sounds soooooooo good. The photo of the Cajun-spiced portabellas really set my gastric juices running!!! I bet they tasted as good as they look.  OK, what are we eating? You caught me at a good time with that question as I have just finished making a rough menu for the next couple of weeks.. I try to have soup at least once a week but, other than this proviso, the menu is flexible at this stage. I shop once a week and the actual order these dishes will appear on the table more or less depends on what vegetables look good when I am shopping at the weekend.  Sadly I can't share the recipes as most of these dishes are things I'll play by ear as I am cooking. If I remember I'll jot down a few notes as I'm cooking.  Stir-fried mushrooms and broccoli with noodles and cashews French onion soup Zucchini, mint and feta fritters Nachos Ratatouille wraps Cheese and rice patties Spinach and potato curry Carrot and coriander soup Baked polenta with mushrooms and bell peppers Butternut squash risotto Vegetable burgers Spaghetti carbonara Broccoli and cauliflower strudel Lentil 'shepherds' pie  Cheers from Marie - On Thu, 4/2/10, Pat <drpatsant wrote: Pat <drpatsant What's On The Menu? Thursday, 4 February, 2010, 15:52  A quick look at my Beanvegan blog shows pics and descriptions of some recent items on our menu, up to and including yesterday, when we had Spiced Lima Beans with Broccoli and Baked Marinated Tofu for our main meal. http://beanvegan. blogspot. com/ What are you guys eating or planning to eat?
