Another one for the "doesn't look nearly as good as it tastes" files - a veg Thai curry with sweet potatoes, aubergines, and #seitan

With coming food shortages due to an illegal war, eating invasive plants sounds like a great plan! In Halifax, we've got Japanese knotweed, which apparently is tasty in the spring stir fried, pickled, and as a granita. Alexis Nikole Nelson wrote a book (Happy Snacking Don't Die) with foraging instructions and recipes sorted by season that I'm excited to buy. I might try stir frying some knotweed this spring.

Vegetable Chickpea Potato Soup

We don’t eat this mild creamy vegetable soup from Vegan Richa’s website too often but when we do, we really like it: for once nobody reaches for any spicy condiments. The only extra was the fresh wild garlic that I picked a few days ago and some rolls.

I’ve used this recipe but I made the soup in a normal saucepan:

Spicy cauliflower stir-fry

What I love about Chinese food is that it mostly seems to have just right kind of spiciness and in your face aromas that all three of us seem to be drawn to. I really should cook more Chinese dishes.

I’ve made this particular one before but more as a side dish. Today I doubled the quantities, used frozen cauliflower and leaves, added tofu slices and a small amount of Thai basil (because it needed to go) and we had a fantastic main dish, dominated by the aromas of Doubanjiang, garlic and ginger.

5/n I mean... come on! So much good vegetarian food! The hotel made eggs to order and served kopi kosong. What more can a girl want? Congee was okay. Sad that there weren't many vegetarian toppings (and I don't like raw spring onion), but I'm not complaining!

My bestie: Hey, what are you looking at?

Me: The vegetarian section

Bestie: *looks at vegetarian section, looks rest of buffet, looks at me, looks back at vegetarian section* is that it?

Me: well, there's a pot of soup over there, but otherwise, yes, this is it

Bestie: Sooooo... why are you staring at it?

Me: There were crispy pancakes here earlier, but now they're gone. I've seen a lot of carnivores get food from here, so maybe they have eaten them.

Bestie: Ah. So you're standing guard?

Me: Not really, just waiting, hoping that they'll refill the crispy pancakes

Random guy with a plate full of bbq'ed shrimp and oysters: *walks to vegetarian buffet and takes a couple of spring rolls*

Bestie: Hey, are you vegetarian?

Shrimp guy: Eh. No.

Bestie: Well, this is the vegetarian section. Maybe better if you take from the rest of this gigantic buffet?

Shrimp guy: Ah, yes, good suggestion, thanks! *continues to help himself to vegetarian food*

Bestie & Me: 👁️👄👁️
