You can do it in the oven, too, on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. When i'm in a really awfuggitbeoversoonanyway frame of mind - which recurs more frequently of late - wonder why - I spread leftover rice, quite thinly, and grate cheddar all over it. Bake or fry until all the cheese has melted, melded, browned and crisped at the edges. Flip onto plate. Open can of DAB. Turn on the next episode of DS9. Heaven!
An absolutely filthy burger made from the Impossible fake beef they finally sell in stores. So, so, so damn satisfying. My mom even liked it and she complains about my vegetarian food all the time, haha.
I don't understand the pretend meat thing.... if you want to be vegetarian why eat pretend animal flesh instead of a meal based around actual vegetables ?
Fake chicken patties are made of flannel shirts, I am just sure of it, and nothing is gonna change my mind.
I've never had it, so I don't know. I prefer Impossible over Beyond since Beyond changed their recipe. I don't know how to answer this without sounding like a defensive twat, but the basic answer is sometimes the cavewoman in me wants the beef, but the person I'm trying to be doesn't want to eat a cow. So I balance it out this way. XL flannel, to be exact. Sleeves rolled up. For the oomph.
I didn't have much of an appetite tonight so I made three slices of toast and topped them with grape jam and melted butter. Really enjoyed it.
Mostly, it's for the transition; familiarity of taste and texture makes it feel less like you're giving something up. If you change your diet in adulthood, you miss the foods you grew up on; this is why it's so hard to lose weight, when you begin to fear for your life in middle age. Of course, we have to make sure of getting enough of each nutrient, and it's convenient to have it already done and packaged. There is a social element, also: we like to go to a popular restaurant sometimes, or share a meal with non-vegetarian friends and family, that they won't deride and excoriate - hopefully, not even behind our backs. To life-long vegans, these meat substitutes usually seem ridiculous - or worse, as they generally eschew all processed food. The rest of us make whatever compromise works for us.
And remember, he's English so it's probably done on only one side because the redcoats hate our freedom!
done one side only and a proper west country man has black treacle and cream (mine was done both sides in the toaster and had butter and marmalade)
Mine gets done one side, because the other element burned out and the thrift store is closed so i can't replace the toaster. Mostly, I turn it around and do the other side. Sometimes I'm too impatient. I had no idea that's a statement of national solidarity -- with somebody on a BBC drama. huh
I'm currently steaming a batch of seitan for later today, and I'm going to make a roasted corn thing. Having dinner with my parents and sister. Might cut up some watermelon. My breakfast was a banana and ice cream. Crushing it.
Make your own? My last batch turned out so crappy, only the resident raccoon will eat it. *** banana *** Haven't seen one in three shopping trips. I used to have them for breakfast, too - a ripe one, dipped into custom cereal mix of toasted o's, rice crispies, boondi, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.
I do make my own, yeah! Sometimes it works, sometimes it is a challenge. I grabbed some super green ones and let them ripen on my counter.
We probably should think harder about replacing some of our imported foods with local ones. While nothing dips like a banana, I imagine applesauce could go quite well with my cereal. Going to try that tomorrow.
LOL, no, I use ancho chili powder (ancho molido) for flavor and arbol chili powder (arbol molido) for heat. I may have gone a little overboard on the arbol this time. Arbol chili Ancho chili, which I just now learned also goes by "poblano."
