Brian and I ventured out a little from the usual oatmeal and bean burritos tonight. We made Spaghetti & Beanballs from Veganomicon. Some of the strangest-sounding recipes in this book make some of the tastiest food!At first, Brian expressed a little hesitation. Then when I pointed out that they were completely smooth and devoid of any gristly bits that you get with meat or sausage, he grew to like them. In fact, by the end of the meal we were both in agreement that we liked them much more than sausage or meatballs. Of course it could be that we are completely brain-washed by Isa's funny and energetic recipe introductions... I really recommend the cookbook to anyone that likes to experiment with food.
Bon appetit!

I honestly would like to try "bean balls". I am a serious meat ball fan but I have a feeling the bean balls are good.
Denise and I made an awesome spaghetti pie last night and as we ate it we disected how we could make it vegetarian, if not vegan. You need to illuminate me on how to replace eggs and cheese, the rest is simple.
Oh wait . . . what about the packaged pasta we used? It was whole wheat (actually, multi-grain) but I expect it had some egg content. Hmmm . . .
Keep up the good work on food experiments.
