Because we're all about the food

Food takes over my personal journal sometimes, and that's not a bad thing, but lately, I've been wanting to post a lot about the cooking I'm doing, and I'm not sure "Today, I cooked potatoes. Yesterday I cooked potatoes, too." is something anyone should have to bother with without opting in. ;-)

Of course, I'm hoping to share more than the cooking of potatoes with you, but hey, you get what you get.

So today, I did cook potatoes. O'Brien potatoes, with chunks of seitan, cooked in water instead of oil, with salt and pepper. We put ketchup on them. They were yummy. I did not take pictures. We had tomato juice, and someotherguy had coffee. See? Not a thrill, but I'm hoping to cook more, and to cook food that's more wholesome and healthful, and this is the place I'm going to segregate those posts to.

As a favor to me, if you know of any LJ users or communities that deal with yummy cooking on a regular basis, please feel free to comment with their usernames. Thanks!

Today, we had a yummy (vegan, no added fat) lunch. Curried lentil soup, steamed cabbage with chili powder, and mango/avocado salad (it was yummy, but someotherguy thought it was weird, so I ate his, too. :-)

Snacky goodness

While scrounging in the cupboard to see what to make for dinner (probably pasta with veggies), I found a can of artichoke hearts packed in water. Drained, and drenched in Wishbone Fat-Free Italian dressing (vegan), they're so delicious that I feel like I could eat an entire mountain made of the things. Mmmmmmmmm!
