Meatless Monday Monstrosity

That would be unlucky #13.

[I dedicate this deliberately ugly photo to my brother who called me last week and suggested to me that I stop photographing my Meatless Monday meals. While he may be right, I consider that at least half of the fun.]

Believe it or not, it tasted delicious. [...]

    Meatless Monday Twelve!

    Indian? Again?

    Yes. Indian again. Stop your complaining. (And try not to be too put off by that disgusting picture. Honestly, I tried to make it look good, but I lack the skill necessary to do so.)

    I’ve waited several weeks to make Indian again so as not too dilute the yearning. We love [...]

      Meatless Monday Eleven!

      Barley Risotto with Butternut, Asparagus and Morels

      Make that Meatless THURSDAY, instead.

      Yes, it’s been a harrowing week. I’m sick (again) and life is spinning out of control. It doesn’t help that I’m not taking it seriously.

      Seriously.

      Because all I really want to do is get up from my computer and go read a book.

      Or go work outside.

      Or [...]

        Meatless Monday Ten

        Kabayaki Salmon and Halibut

        All from The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook!

        ! !! (exclamations are overused, don’t you think?)

        Disclaimer: This Meatless Monday features fish, because, by golly, to me, fish is meatless. (Sorry vegans!) Plus, we’ve got a lot of fish to eat in the freezer. Plus, plus, Morgan was gone and she moans and groans about fish, [...]

          Those Fried Onion Things

          Homemade Durkee Fried Onions

          I wasn’t going to post this, but I have the pictures — well, I have pictures of the remnants — and the kids won’t stop talking about them. Begging for more. Stalking my life. Ruining my days.

          Why don’t I just make the damn things for them again?

          Because I hate deep frying. [...]

            I forgot to take the final picture again. Should I have it for lunch so that I can rectify this recurring nightmare?

            (pause for 30 minutes.)

            Yes. I really did go heat up, photograph and eat the leftovers for lunch. It was good. And now I have a [...]

              Meatless Monday Eight!

              Lowly Potato Soup.

              I could almost call this Stone Soup. It’s practically the same thing.

              Wait, no. That sounds bad. This really is good soup. It’s seems to make a lot of something out of practically nothing. So, in that way it is like stone soup.

              It is a very old family recipe.

              Actually, [...]

                Meatless Monday Eight Prequel.

                I’m home alone.

                I’m making dinner for tonight’s Meatless Monday.

                No, no. I haven’t turned over a new leaf. I have bookclub tonight and a busy afternoon of kid stuff. So I’m being proactive.

                So yeah, maybe I am turning over a new leaf. But just for today.

                I’m making [...]

                  Meatless Monday Seven!

                  And Valentine’s Day wrapped up in one.

                  Dave gave me two cookbooks for Valentine’s Day. One was an Indian cookbook and the other was a vegetarian cookbook. Which proves that even though he is pissing and moaning about Meatless Mondays, he is – in fact – encouraging me to continue.

                  I was very excited. [...]

                    Meatless Monday Six

                    (Sorry Guys, No Exclamation Mark for this One.)

                    Meatless Monday Six was non-blogworthy. We had baked potatoes and broccoli.

                    Yep. That’s it.

                    That’s what we had.

                    I even had a plan for it. Knew what I was gonna make. Tweeted about it.

                    I’ll be honest: I might not have allotted enough time to make [...]
