there is an upside to not eating meat. what could it be, you ask? it's this: when you burn the meat pot of soup, and aren't forced to eat it for dinner with the rest of the family. ha! i had my own, mostly-unburned pot of bland, unflavorful lentil soup. but at least it didn't taste like the underside of a camp fire.
the downside to this story: when you make most of that burned soup for a family in need, and can't try it to see if it's edible or not. maybe it's a good thing i couldn't taste it, so i wouldn't feel so bad offering it to them. ken ate the soup, so it was somewhat edible. i hope. i think. well, the man can eat just about anything.
and for the veggie menu this week:
MONDAY: lentil soup
TUESDAY: chicken pot pie, minus the chicken
WEDNESDAY: shish kabobs with wild rice
THURSDAY: quiche
FRIDAY: cheese pizza
SATUDAY: ken's night...and he'll be bbq'ing and i will eat the sides, and not his juicy, yummy meat.
i will survive people. i will survive. and possibly lose some weight, regardless of all the carbs and chocolate i am inhaling left and right. and how could i possibly lose any weight? well, the food i cook is so bla and bland, with such small portion sizes i don't end up eating much for dinner. or lunch for that matter.
only 27 more days to go.

Hey, why did the bookclub stop?? I saw the pic of all you guys on someone's blog - Whitney's I think. So sad. :(
Always add in sauteed onions. My lentil soup starts with sauteed onions and celery. It really makes a difference and fills in flavor. Also, if you toast your herbs and spices just a little bit before you add them to the pot, it really brings out the flavors, too!
I forgot... check this out. You'll love it!http://cheftessbakeresse.blogspot.com/2010/01/meatless-wonders-101-wheat-meat-or.html
You are such a trooper! I am a carnivore through and through, but I admire you sticking to your resolution!! Keep it up!!!
PS - do you like tofu? It is really good and takes the place of meat and you don't feel like you are depriving yourself as much
Ithaca, NY - where we lived the last couple years has to be the Eastern Vegetarian capital of the nation. Berkely being the Western. There is a fabulous Veg restaurant that we never went to, but a friend bought us their restaurant cookbook before we left. I could bring it to you when we come to AZ in a few weeks except it's in storage. Sorry. The name of the place is the Moosewood. They have a website where you could order the book?? They tell me the food is amazing, but I wasn't able to try any out before packing up the book.
Good luck with the goals. I've thought about a lot but haven't gotten around to writing them down. Isn't that rule #1 of goal setting?? Maybe next month.
You are awesome! i love you and your cool hobbies/habbits/resolutions! you are a much more interesting person than I am!
