an observation

ok...

this post is gonna be wayyyyy TMI.

so you can duck out the back now, before I get started, if you need to.




Ok.

since I started this vegan thing? well, my insides are changing, if ya know what I mean.

to put it bluntly, my poop doesn't stink.

There, I said it.

Not that I was ever a "stinky" person, but everyone has an odor, ya know? It didn't stink up the whole house, like some other people do around here, but ya, it had a smell.

Well, now it doesn't smell at all. Weird, huh? Not even with all those stupid beans I'm eating!

Now, before, when I would eat roast beef, well...WATCH OUT! cuz it wasn't pretty. Not hamburger, or steak or anything else made out of cow...just roast beef..made in the oven with carrots and potatoes...with nice rich gravy...

wait? where was I?

Oh ya, that awful meat that made me smell.

So, there you know what I'm like in the bathroom. Are you happy now? :)

Just an observation.

Trust me... it still 'stinks' but it prolly contains less bacteria because whatever you eat, your body breaks down and absorbs more of it.

Or, maybe you are one of the few, the proud, a person whose sh*t doesn't stink..!

OK, MORE!

Spring peas and tofu:

Get a big bag of spring peas, you know the flat kind you get in Chinese restaurants, though you could use whatever veg struck your fancy...String them, and chop them up, or not. Heat a big frying pan, throw in the oil, then a big bunch of garlic, hot peppers and ginger root, chopped. When that has cooked a bit, toss in the peas and cook them up till they looks greener, then throw in the tofu, probably firmer than softer and add soya sauce...fish sauce is good here too Cook till heated through and toss onto some plates. Could be eaten with rice or alone.

Cabbage sauce for pasta...if you can think of a less appetising title you get a prize.
Big pan, oil, garlic, ginger, dried chili, a WHOLE bunch of cabbage, half a head maybe? Heat the oil, toss in the garlic, ginger, chilis....cook a little and throw in the cabbage. Cook until it goes greener, then add soya sauce, thai fish sauce, and a bunch of vinegar, lets say 2 tablespoons or more, a teaspoon of sugar and half a cup of stock (I use water and half a cube usually) bung a lid on and turn down the heat, leave it for 15 min? stir occasionally.

When it is looking pretty mushy, you can toss in chickpeas or tofu as you see fit. Add seasoning if needed....more vinegar, a touch more salt? A little tabasco?

Put on pasta...


Hmm, what else.

Take a can or two of white beans, the navy type, put them in a big pan with a couple of heads of garlic and a bunch of water, lets say a cup or more, rosemary is really good here too. If you can get some really smoked proscuitto, or ham bone? GOOD stuff, I know, you're veggie now, but a little of the good stuff...just a little as a seasoning....then let it simmer till almost all the water is gone and it is warm and fragrant and delicious....

My daughter also cooks up beans in a frying pan, a little oil, a can/jar of beans, some tabasco, salt or fish sauce and a LOAD of vinegar. Cook on high-ish heat till piping hot through and eat, maybe on toast?

Baked beans are awesome, and you could make some yourself - though honestly, it takes so long you are better off with the stuff from the store.

More later if you want 'em, OK?
