What's For Dinner?

[JustGeorge]

Being a vegetarian/vegan in Texas (with cowboys, ranchers, rural country folks, and barbecue restaurants on nearly every corner) has its troubles.

I believe that.

@JustGeorge has inspired me to make chilli con carne tonight. It will have beans and vegies and carnivore meat.

Chili is meant to have veggies.

My brother and his family are almost pure vegetarians. I am sure that they do cheese. I am not sure about eggs. But I cannot imagine her food without onions. If it is digestive issues than I am sure that they would never be in a salad for you.

And it is rather warm here today. Maybe a real Caesar salad with grilled salmon. That sounds like a winner.

Its not a digestive issue for me, I just can't stand the texture, and I'm not terribly fond of the taste.

I don't grumble if I'm company somewhere. I just tell them I'm vegetarian, suffer down the small onion pieces, pick out anything that's too large for me to reasonable eat without making faces.

I had mixed vegetable enchildas with white queso sauce, refried beans, and Spanish rice for dinner.

Pasta is cooking for a pasta salad. Veggies for it are marinating. Fish is cooked, cooled, and ready to go.

I was told by an Italian chef that pasta is best cooked in seawater. No sea nearby so a table spoon of salt added to the water is a good substitute.

Tonight we are having pasta with Bolognese sauce.

My chilli was probably more of a curry. I tried putting sweet potato in because I was given a heap and it turned out OK. A TexMex purist would probably have a heart attack.

A year or so ago I tried to better familiarize myself with the regional cooking of the US... I actually found chili to be the most universal food. I hear our national dish is hamburgers, but it really oughta be chili.

The cool thing was each region puts its own twist on it. One of the oddest ones(in my opinion) is Cincinnati's:

I made cheeseburgers for dinner. Mine was a honey-goat cheese burger, with tomatoes, caramelized onions, spinach and a balsamic reduction, on toasted potato buns.

And tater tots.

Intentionally left-over moong dal curry and basmati rice.

Tonight, I'll likely be throwing something together with some random ingredients I have lying around. Vegetable broth, basmati rice, lentils, chilis that are about to turn, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, and some random spices.

That randomly sounds delicious

Tablespoon of balsamic.
Tablespoon of mustard
Tablespoon of honey.

Mix well.

Don't know about ketchup but it works great as a salad dressing.

[JustGeorge]

Dandelion jelly on an English muffin!

Dijon makes for smooth. I use whole grain mustard because i prefer it.
