"..." is an actual face expression

My brother just told me he's going vegetarian, it's a new thing he's trying, some more stuff is said, then some other stuff and anyway:

J: Bottom line is our turkey day will have to have no turkey. How's that sound? ::beams::
Me: ::buries face in pillow::

So, how 'bout it flist? any recs on vegetarian fixings for Thanksgiving? The issue here is the turkey (not that you can find any here, but I was gonna go with chicken like last year), the rest I can manage, I just want something vaguely resembling tradition for once ::heraddesk::

Since we're on the subject, J and the flower boy do not get along at all. Unless they're drunk, then they're potentially nice to each other. But just marginally, blink and you miss it. Fun times.

yeah, I could do that but then I'd feel guilty (I'm weird like that) and wouldn't really enjoy it properly.

Hmmm, maybe I can find some tofu around here, I think I've seen some.

He's trying to change a few things in his life and part of the process is to embrace some more peaceful, Buhddist-like ways. At least we're doing yoga together.

Hahaha, but there's MORE than just mashed potatoes!! ::does not comprehend::

PS. I'M WORKING ON IT ::pacifies::

Well, I guess that's good. Still... turkey *drools*

For me, life itself is mashed potatoes. It's the food of Gods, woman! :D

PS. You better! :P

Hahaha, I'd get chicken for myself and leave him to eat some leafy stuff, but I'd feel bad so, I guess I'm making some sort of pie thingy to stuff the (vegetarian) feeling in?

I think I might give this an actual try. Meat hasn't been a significant portion of my diet for ages now, I just never just up and said that's it, I'm a vegetarian.

So. ::pokes at you:: you can't see it right now, but I'm wearing my "asking" face. ::asks::

[identity profile] sonam-bitts.livejournal.com 2008-11-29 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
lol, right. lemme think. a lot of my recipes include potatoes... do you eat potatoes?

also if you wanna try a different kind of a sandwich, then you can chop cabbage really fine, add some finely cut capsicum to it, a little curd and some grated cheese if you like, salt to taste, rock salt, some black pepper and cumin powder. Mix it altogether nicely and then fill that filling between two breads and toast/grill it. its not soemthing amazingly good or well known, just something I make when I wanna make something quick and easy.

But seriosuly, if you are serious about it I can give you recipes for pizzas, pastas, desserts and whatnot.

Oooh, that sounds interesting. Will give it a shot and let you know how it went.

By all means, please do. I'm pretty sure the reason why it never became and actual thing for me was the lack of recipes and ideas to fix stuff up, it's just easier to go with the tried and tested, you know? But no more, I'm a new person!

So, hit me with anything you've got!
