Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi, Laura! Lol, not liking mushrooms never occurred to me By the way, it's really fun to read the way you're thinking through the recipe that you want to create--Thanks for sharing that! Good luck with your DH getting his numbers where they should be. I'm glad he has a dr. who talks to him about diet! Peace, Mo L.B. wrote: > Hi, Mo! > Thank you for the suggestions. I myself would like the mushrooms in things, but my DH is the one I am mainly " searching the products " for. He has a real aversion to anything too obviously " mushroomy " or " tofu-y " --or, for that matter, " eggplant-y " in foods. I have used all of those and a few other from his list of " questionables " , but I have to be really careful and not make it an obvious thing. > > I think, for example, that I might be able to make some kind of tasty patty with port. mushrooms, ex. firm (frozen-thawed-crumbled) tofu, cooked lentils and/or other beans, maybe some grains, and maybe ground walnuts, some seasonings, some " browning liquid " (I use a syrup made of stron coffee in small amounts to give a " brown " flavor to some things), and maybe some kind of binder, like egg...but I'd have to experiment with how to grind/mix it all up and how to cook it. I don't have a food processor, either, and using a blender yields a too-smooth pudding-like mass...I want something more chewy and textured, but not obviously grain/nut crunchy, and not " squishy " like mushrooms, nor totally > mealy-mashy like beans. > > A batch of patties, already made up, frozen and ready to grab out of the freezer and sling into the pan--THAT would go a long way here. Whenever I want to make myself something that DH considers too " far out " for him to want to try, then he can be welcome to grab a " bean-burger " or whatever--and have himself something that reminds him of the familiar--at least to some extent. > > It may be a bit easier in the near future to get DH to " try " some of these things, because he just had his bloodwork done. The " numbers " are up a little bit and the doc. wants DH to " work on his diet " & to get re-tested in 6 months. DH now has more incentive to move away from meat-eating even more than he felt he did before. I won't know about my own " blood work " for a week or more--I had it drawn last week, but they lost the sample and I have to go in to get it re-done tomorrow! GRRRR! > > There may even come a time when my DH will try things with mushrooms and tofu in them--and know it's in there. Right now, I just have to go with what he can agree to and keep looking for what options are available. > > Thanks again for the suggestions! > > --Laura B., in Illinois > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 The D in the DH can be used to pop in whatever adjective your H is being at the time that the post was being made. 'Do what thou wilt, but harm none'. Each individual is responsible for discovering his or her own true nature and developing it fully, in harmony with the outer world. diana scott <dianascot_33 Friday, September 5, 2008 8:31:15 AM Re:Laura-: Re: Question about " crumbles " I thought DH was dear husband.
