Aug. 28th, 2006 02:25 pmMaking a vegetarian* larb from quinoa and lentils was a good idea, though I think I want to cook the quinoa less next time. It's all about the fresh herbs, I tell you. I am being very happy with the food. Okra to cook tonight (okay, I know that nobody else likes okra as much as I do... huh, actually I haven't done the obvious test there) and bread rising as I write this...
( Recipe )
* Well, okay, it wasn't really because I used fish sauce (lovin' them fermented fish products, thanks) but it could be easily made with tamari instead. I'm currently at plant products + ducks eggs + sushi + weird asian fish stuff white folks don't usually like (dried shrimp, fish paste, etc) + honey. I'm not hard and fast not eating other seafood or hen eggs, but I'm moving away from them, generally. Might rethink the seafood over time (the logic here is mostly that it's rare cooked fish that strikes me as worth the effort, fish entries at american restaurants are often gross and way too rich, and while I'm often pro fish for health reasons, I like to aim towards sustainably harvested fish, which is often difficult. Did I say logic? I'm not certain sushi doesn't get a religious exemption.)
In other news, presentation at MS tomorrow. Feeling pretty good, except my body is screaming for me to do something more active than desk work -- and I did more than my usual morning exercises and biked in.
