Golden Vegetable Curry

I made this for me and a friend. We both enjoyed it, had two plates each (with rice) on the first evening that it was made, and then ate the leftovers for breakfast. It’s definitely best hot and fresh, and not too spicy. The amount of vegetables is just what I used. You can add more or less, if you’d like. I recommend adding an onion or two (if small) also, and the broccoli is definitely optional. It tasted better than I thought it would, but I only added it because a teacher gave me the broccoli and I needed to use it before it spoiled. Broccoli is healthy and really did go well in this curry, so you might like to try it, too.

Twice-Baked Potato

My grandma makes delicious twice baked potatoes. Back when I was a meat eater, my favorite was the cheese and bacon one. After I became a vegetarian, I think she used imitation bacon bits at least once or twice, but I also liked the sour cream and chives ones. She would sometimes make and freeze these, and then they could be popped in the microwave.

Sweet Molasses Curry

Tastes kind of like barbecue.

Fried Sweet Potato & Tofu

Today’s lunch was very simple. In addition to the sweet potato and tofu, I had some leftover crackers from the trip. The crackers were homemade from a caring lady. Did I eat something else? I’m not sure. Maybe I had another banana? Maybe not. I had papaya and oranges (tangerines) and long-an (one of my favorite fruits) for supper today. It was yummy and satisfying and I should hopefully sleep well tonight. I have been sleeping very well here.

Pumpkin Soup

Potato/Hop Yeast

“Wash, pare, and grate, one dozen large potatoes. Boil two large handfuls of hops in five pints of water, and strain it on to the grated potatoes. Add a teacupful of sugar and one-half teacup of salt. Put all in a tin pail or pan, and set into a kettle of boiling water, and stir occasionally till thoroughly cooked. When nearly cool add a pint of good yeast and let it rise. One tablespoonful of this yeast is sufficient for an ordinary loaf of bread. If in a cool place it will keep several months in summer without souring.“

Or you can use rutabagas.

Leek and Potato Soup (Corn Chowder)

You can make this without the corn, or you could leave out the lees and make corn chowder. A neighbor gave us a bag or two of corn on the cob. There was a lot, so we used it.

Hash Pancake

It’s a veggie burger/sausage and hash brown hybrid! (Or a “meaty” potato pancake…)
