It tasted even better that it looks!Today, we went to Little Lad's Bakery and (Vegan) Cafe in Portland for lunch. The meal we had there could not hold a candle to any of the recipes in Bill's book. We are totally spoiled now.
I have never come across a vegetarian cookbook that had more than a few great recipes. Usually, I am thrilled if I find three good recipes out of ten. I know I sound like a broken record but so far every recipe has been outstanding. Tonight's meal was no exception.
We had veggie burgers again but with the addition of "Liquid Smoke"!! ( you can find it next to Tabasco sauce in most grocery stores)
They were sensational. Sam, who has never really cared for veggie burgers,
said they were by far the best he ever tasted. On the side, I served Stuffed Potatoes (pg 148) along with fresh, sliced tomatoes and avocado. The potatoes were a real treat and easy to prepare. The tomato and avocado slices piled on the burger with a gob of Veganaise made every bite a mouthwatering
morsel.
Speaking of avocados, I remember when we were back in the homesteading days, that I fed one of my little toddlers copious amounts of mashed avocado because I had read that avocado was very rich in iron. Years later, I found out that it was just a typo and that avocados have almost no iron at all. However, I also found out, that they are very good for brain development. Well, he is now at Harvard working on his doctorate so I guess some parenting errors work out after all.
Thankfully, Sam's report today was good. No cancer has spread to the bones. That was a huge relief as you can imagine. We are still studying all the options but he is definitely committed to keep on with the diet.
Tomorrow, I'll send you the recipe for Veggie Burgers. You have to try them..................
