I have given into the pressure and started eating more fake meat. I have tried Tofurky italian sausage, Morningstar links and St Ives Canadian bacon and it is official: I can't stand anything tofu based. The only way I got through through the sausage was by smothering it in condiments. I tried a kind of stirfry with rice the other night and ended up eating around it. The breakfast links are solidly edible. The Canadian bacon kinda falls in between. I bought some seitan based hotdogs (forget the brand) that are very close in taste to regular hotdogs. Of course this isn't saying much since regular hotdogs are pretty bland anyway. Still, easy to eat, which is the point.
Ive had two delicious meals in the last few days - both Thai curry. One was a musaman(?) curry with vegetables green beans, cabbage and peas from Westwood Thai cafe. It usually comes with bell pepper, but I asked them to hold that. Not a food I like. Was delicious.
Friday lunch I had red curry with fried tofu at Emporium Thai on Westwood just south of Wilshire. My friend ordered it, but of course I had to have some. It was very good. Like I just said I don't like tofu, but frying it turns it into FOOD. And you just can't beat the taste of a spicy coconut-based curry with sweet white rice.
Upcoming: Halloween vegan cupcakes. I have volunteered to make cupcakes for the office potluck. My plan is to make avocado icing. Watch for details and pics!
