Guest guest Report post Posted March 24, 2002 Norm, I think I bought some jaboticaba the day I arrived Hilo at the farmers's market and I forgot the name of the fruit. I bought a bag because Ali recommended them highly. Yes, they were good. Are you bringing some mac nuts back? i brought home a bag of mac nuts that forest foraged at the rodeo. they were so sweet and crunchy that I saved the last few for a long time. I feel quilty for having taken the whole bag from forest and didn't leave some for him to enjoy. welcome back and we are all looking forward for your stories and pictures. helen here's another unusual tropical fruit. jaboticaba... it looks like a bing cherry and kinda 'eats' like one except... you don't eat the skin. the skin is tough and not real tasty but the juice that squeezes out of the fruit is rich like a bing. the seed is a small pit and covered with a fibrous substance. to eat it, you pop it in your mouth and break the skin with your teeth chewing carefully to free up the juice. then suck out the juice and spit out the skin. i think of it as a *tasty* snack rather than something you can fill up on. the grower told me the fruit grows thick and tight to the limbs of the tree and it's a beautiful thing to see. i doubt that you'll find jaboticaba in the market but definitely try some if you do. norm )~..... raw food, simply delicious .....

Guest guest Report post Posted August 4, 2002 You're welcome, Mary. One thing I wasn't thinking about until after someone else mentioned it was the quickness rating. I don't know what the criteria for quick is here but my mindset is that once dinner is in the oven, it's essentially done. So we're talking about less then an hour to chop, cook and assemble. ;-) Enjoy! Cheryl --- magloro76 wrote: > Thanks for the veggie lasagna recipe, Cheryl. I > definitely want to add > spinach to it.

What do you add to the sesame seeds when > you grind them. Also, don't you take the hard hull off before you grind. > > Jann > Denver, CO Hi, Jann: Unhulled sesame seeds have a bitter taste to them. And yes, most tahinis and sesame butters are made from sesame seeds whose hulls have been removed. Sesame seeds are known to be an excellent source of calcium and other minerals; however, it is my understanding that most of these nutrients come from the outer shell. So, I use unhulled seeds. When you shop for your seeds, you may purchase them hulled or unhulled, depending on what you prefer. As I said before, rinsing them in a salt-water bath several times until the water runs clear will take away the bitter taste. I have only done this before adding seeds to a hijiki (sea vegetable) salad. I think if/when I get in the mood for nonbitter tahini, I'll just purchase the hulled type to avoid this added moisture. You asked me what *I* add to the seeds: nothing at all. Commonly, dark sesame seed oil or other oil, and salt are added. My recipe: run sesame seeds through my Sampson 6-in-1 (using the grinding cone) twice. Voilà! Miko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 1, 2004 Ditto. I was so inspired after hearing all the cheese alternatives, I bought some Tofutti cuties ( " ice cream " bars), uncheese, un-cream cheese, etc. I know I was supposed to give up real cheese for a month first, but I dove in instead, and in a sandwich, I really can't tell the difference - tastes yummy. Thanks everyone! strayfeather1 [otherbox2001] Wednesday, March 31, 2004 6:55 PM Thanks Just wanted to say thanks for the friendly welcome and all the tips. That vegweb.com site is a great one. And I'm tracking down some Follow Your Heart Cheese for my next pizza night. Peace, Diane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted August 2, 2004 Thanks Jo, it's nice to know others have been there. I'm excited to meet and live with others who share my views (as a vegan that is, that is what is important so far). My parents and I just had a discussion. I was writing a list of what the ideal job would be for me; the qualities of it that is. This was suggested at a conference at my job. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, so hard that very few things were written down. I asked my parents why this is so hard for me to do. They told me that at 18, I'm not supposed to know. I agreed with them, I'm so wishy-washy about my feelings about the future. So I decided to look to the more immediate future and explore my option. I think I might want a job involving me being vegan. Maybe with an animal rights organization, vegan nutrition, a vegan shop or restaurant, or maybe even a bunch of options I'm not aware of. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do, some options if I should take the vegan job road. I'm not asking to be told what to do or persuaded, just options would be Nice.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 2, 2004 Hi Shana LOL - I still don't know what job I would like best - and it's too late to bother now! If you could find something involving veganism it would be very satisfactory I would imagine.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 3, 2004 I will try to write out some recipes. We mostly didn't write things down. We also made different things every day. But I will try. As far as tips. Experiment! That is the best way to figure out baking in general and vegan baking even more so. Think about what eggs and milk are actually doing in the recipe in order to correctly substitute (if you are changing a recipe to vegan). Bananas work great in some things and sometimes silken tofu is better, for example. sara , " Jo " <Heartwork@o...> wrote: > If you have any recipes or ideas/tips to share with us, I for one would be > pleased to hear them. > > Jo > > > I worked at a health food store as the vegan baker.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 15, 2005 Amy, I'm quite happy to file the recipes for you. Please post as many recipes as you like. I can usually get to them within a day or 2. I'm also adding the metric conversions as I file as well, and that can be a bit tricky. I know most of the common conversions now, plus it helps that we didn't go metric in Australia until I was about 12 - so I work in both imperial and metric. So, please, please post - I'll just keep filing. Kim , Amy Lovelace <loveamy@c...> wrote: > I am not sure who to say thank-you to.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 15, 2005 Thanks LaDonna, I guess I will be flooding our list with recipes, as I have found a quit a few I love since my husband went gluten free. Not sure when I will though as my Mom is coming to town today and staying for a week. But I will try as we have found some wonderful bread recipes that are easy and quick to make. Just to let everyone know, I use muffin tins on a cookie sheet and make round bread that way. It is so much better then trying to make it in a loaf. Amy > > Just post, Amy. . .that's fine.
