vegetarian tidbits

[spacebug]

Discoveries this week:

Mochi! Thanks to saracura for turning me on to mochi. I always saw it in its little package sitting blithely by the miso, never knowing quite what it did, what it was for, or what it tasted like. I can now say that I have tried it and I like it. Also, if yaaren and thaadd do not know about mochi, they should, as it has no poisonous gluteny or wheaty anything, and it is good.

Also found out that Smart Deli turkey-style slices now have a "great new taste". They are still not as tasty as industry leader Tofurky brand, but they are close, and much better than they used to be.

Further bullitens as events warrant.

Mochi's really good, but I've noticed it has nefarious filling-yanking tendencies. I used to eat it all the time, but after a couple of close calls (and a mouthful of bargain dentistry), I don't eat it much anymore.

Somewhere (if I haven't lost it) I have a good quick home-made mock-duck recipe. It's nice when you can season it pre-cooking to how you like it.

It's a bit much hardcopy to transfer electronically, but when I move back, I'll unload my massive collection of vegetarian and vegan recipes on you, if you want.

Oh how I love the mochi! As a wheat-allergic individual, mochi was a dream come true! I eat the whole package too sometimes, but, hey, it's good stuff!

Oh I love these mochi filling ideas.... Maybe next week for Lost, we should have a mochi filling-off.

I'm sorry, but Mochi totally freaks me out. The texture just sends shivers down my spine. It is, however, hilarious to watch people eat for the first time.

You will have to join me at Midori's sometime, for some super tasty takoyaki. Mmmmmm!
