Mark’s out for a walk, and Al is at work, so Joëlle & I had creamed spinach and leftover rice for dinner. The rice was cooked in coconut milk and homemade veggie broth – I made it to go with the Thai vegetable curry a few nights ago. I went to the doc this afternoon [...]
When we go out for Thai, if I don’t get tofu pad thai, I always like the curry that is red curry sauce with a little peanut sauce mixed in, too. At the place we usually go to, it’s #42 on the menu, “Pa-Naeng – curry sauce mixed with peanut sauce, zucchini, green peas, carrot. [...]
The head chef at the co-op went all out to create an upscale vegan dinner for us: Himalayan red rice, with a squash and coconut milk stew to ladle over; red peppers stuffed with walnuts, corn, and I think a soy product; and a spinach salad with roasted tomatoes, portobello mushrooms and a basil balsamic [...]
