I'm jealous. There are no vegan Chinese food here. A few "iffy" things but nothing I feel comfortable ordering.
Today I had a lazy supper; pasta salad from work and a roll. About an hour later, I had some cherries.

No vegan Chinese? Not even any vegetable dishes that would be suitable to have with plain steamed rice?
I wouldn't trust alot of the chinese places around here either unless i was positive thye could understand me well enough to know there is no animal derrivatives, alot seem to use oyster and fish sauce in stirfried veggies, or they use the same woks, pans etc.
Anyways tonight i am having indian split pea soup and a kalmata olive bread= a mixture of ethnicities
I'm having a Potato and Lentil bake (recipe from "Vegan Cooking For One"), I'll take a photo later, maybe, when I've cooked it! lol

Witchy - that lentil bake looks scrumptious!
that does look good witchy. lentils dont usually go over well with meateaters when trying to get them to eat vegan food lol. you have to make something with more kick. i bet your lentil dish was scrumptious though!!
tonight i had 2 bean burritos and mexi fries. it was really yummy.

okay i changed my idea for dinner. were going to have potato skins!! (and something else, i just dont know what yet!)
"you dont have to be tall to see the moon" - african proverb
What are potato skins, Tina, and how do you make them? I love potatoes and am totally intrigued *drools just at the thought*
go to google and search "potato skins"
theyre basically halves or smaller peices of potatoes, baked, then the flesh is scooped out and replaced with cheese, bacon bits, green onion and topped with sour cream.
i just got some potatoes, cooked them in the microwave, cut them in half, scooped out most of the flesh, filled them with my cheese sauce, topped with vegan bacon bits and baked until crispy. afterwards i put a little dallop of vegan sour cream and sprinkled with parsley. theyre great with guacamole or salsa.
i just posted a pic of mine here:
http://veganforum.com/forums/showthr...?t=7194&page=5
next time ill make them skinnier (so maybe 1/4's of potatoes rather than 1/2's) and scoop out more flesh.
