Seven recipes prepared and seven enjoyed. Three hundred and forty three to go! What amazes me is the fact that every recipe is gourmet and contains no salt, sugar or animal products. Sam and I compared the meal tonight to those we had on a recent cruise and there is just no comparison. Tonight, we had Stuffed Mushroom Caps with Couscous. (pg 147) Bill has completely debunked the idea that the Vegan diet is spartan and tasteless.
I have to admit that come 5:00PM I am usually looking for the quickest recipe with the least ingredients and the recipe for which I have all the ingredients on hand. Tonight's dinner had 16 ingredients! I've come a long way from Bertolli, one bag suppers. In addition, I find myself using all that gorgeous cookware that has been decoratively dangling from my pot rack!
On the home front, May, 98 and Lewella, 101, our two moms, seem to be loving this new lifestyle as does Josh, our 16 year old, en grafted kid. Having come from a real meat and potatoes background, I am amazed that Josh finds delight in all these new tastes. Sam is staying the course with the extreme vegan diet that Bill prescribed which includes 48oz of fresh carrot juice and Barley green everyday. I will try to write more about that tomorrow. Friday, Sam goes for a bone scan which,hopefully,will show that the prostate cancer has not spread. Thanks for joining me!
