1. Wow, that's pretty big news.
And they used the word "vegan" too!

2. My sister loves their stuff, so she'll probably wind up with a ton of vegan product this way.
Of course I already got her hooked on a bunch of vegan stuff when she and I lived together, because she kept "borrowing" :eyes: my stuff and liking it better.

3. Heh heh *wrings hands*
I love it when the omnis use vegan stuff unintentionally.

Gah, I'm just evil.

5. I've never known a mayo lover that didn't prefer vegenaise over any other kind of mayo!
I've converted three!

I've always loved mayo & it was very difficult to give it up. And then I tasted vegenaise! :loveya: It's easily responsible for at least 2" around my waist.

7. Vegenaise is carried by most good health food stores.
The grapeseed variety is to absolutely die for.

9. That's great!
I'm glad I found you guys. I tried Cooking and Baking because I couldn't find the Vegan group. Someone got upset so I'll stay here - wouldn't want to piss on anyones Steak Tartare.

After all how important is it to try to find a diet that will help me become healthier and maybe increase my chances to live. :eyes:

I'm going to c&p my response from the other group here:

Emerald City Salad
(recipe stolen from a local co-op)

-2 cups wild rice
-1 bunch kale
-1 bunch chard
-1 red bell pepper
-1 yellow pepper
-1 fennel bulb
-1 bunch green onion
-1/2 cup chopped parsley
-1/2 cup olive oil
-3/4 cup lemon juice
-2 teaspoons minced garlic
-2 teaspoons salt
-1 teaspoon black pepper

Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper to make dressing. Cook the rice in ample water and cool. Drain, cool, and toss rice with dressing. Remove tough stems and ribs from greens and chiffonade (roll up greens length wise and chop in thin strips). Combine with diced peppers, thinly sliced fennel bulb and chopped green onion. Just before serving, toss veggies with dressed rice.

Serves 6+


Brown rice & tofu (not exactly low-fat)

Cube a brick of x-firm tofu & drain
Rough-chop 1/2 white onion
Clean and slice (thick-slice or quarter) about 6 oz of button mushrooms

Start 1 cup of short grain brown rice (ratio is 1:2)
Pan-fry tofu with veg oil & 1 tsp sesame oil until crisp; set aside
Saute onions in a large pan until almost translucent; set aside
Saute mushrooms well in the same pan (if you don't know how to make non-slimy mushrooms, let me know)

At this point, rice will be done. Throw the rice into the large mushroom pan on low heat, add the onions & tofu. Add a generous amount of thai garlic chili pepper sauce (this stuff)
mix, and bring up to temp.

Serve hot with cold salad or whatever.


Please don't hesitate to visit the vvar board and ask if you need ideas!


I'm asking the mods over there to delete my post, as I was unaware of how vehemently some there feel about us posting on "their" board when I responded.


edit: Sorry about the threadjack, LM!
