I have never purchased faux meats before so I really would not know what tastes good or not but thank you for the warning, just in case.

I liked the chickpea gravy as well, you might want to try the miso gravy too (P 147), it wasn’t what I expected from a miso base but it is very tasty. Fresh cilantro definitely makes all the difference, and it’s pretty cheap! I try to keep it around most of the time. I add a couple big chopped handfuls of it to any Indian or southwestern type dishes/soups I make. Thanks for the heads up on the documentary, I’ve added it to my netflix queue.Shananiganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08537301327510516106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-1157116412464220332006-09-01T06:13:00.000-07:002006-09-01T06:13:00.000-07:00Hey Leslie, I did make the black bean stew.

I hope you do rent the film.<BR/><BR/>Johanna, I commented back to you on your blog. Maybe if you can find these, special-internet-order them, or I can ship them to you, your daughter would eat them? I love your new blog and I plan on commenting only en Espanol.<BR/><BR/>JAM, let me know what you think of the patties. I think the SW ones are convienetly awesome.<BR/><BR/>Crystal (VV), I think these patties are something any of us can put together on our own. It reminds me of some of Dreena's patty recipes. As for the film, I think it was your blog that inspired me to rent it but I still am at a lack of words (in an explaining to others sort of way). With people I've seen it with, conversation is fine, but I would rather just have everyone watch for themselves. I plan on buying the movie one day. I am feeling less dizzy, but still dizzy. It's driving me crazy and I'm just trying to forget about it, thanks for asking.<BR/><BR/>Vegancore, maybe you can ask your local co-op or health food market to stock them or special order them. I know, I know, no shame in ketchup...<BR/><BR/>Kleo, you made me smile (and sing along)! I love how you have so many musical refrences (and I get them all!). Funny, because I was going to title this post "Sunshine Daydream" as I had the Grateful Dead song, Sugar Magnolia in my head with the lyrics "sunshine daydream". Then I had your song in my head the rest of the day after seeing the comment, and a while later I had "Ain't no Sunshine when she's Gone" in my head... Thanks for your kind wishes, and as in most cases, the AZ sunshine really does brighten up days.<BR/><BR/>Cherie A, if you can't find them, try requesting them or order online if you can.<BR/><BR/>Lindy Loo, I'll check out that Peter Singer book, thanks for the reference. <BR/><BR/>Pure Zuke, you would love this gravy! I know it. Let me know when you've seen TFOF.<BR/><BR/>theONLYtania, these patties could be made at home. Do you ever request foods at your cafeteria?<BR/><BR/>Jess, I can see how it would be hard to remember these, as they are in such tiny yellow boxes usually lingering somewhere random in the frozen section. Good to see you back, but when I keep trying to get to your blog (which I have successfully done twice), it keeps freezing up my computer. <BR/><BR/>Kai, I'm glad you were just surprised, not totally shocked! I can't wait to see your newest cooking creations, I've really missed seeing them on your blog.<BR/><BR/>Laura Jesser, did you try the black bean stew? Let me know what you think of it. I hope you can rent the film soon too. I appreciate your comments about me and my blog and I commend you for doing "what you do" as everyone has unique situations, but yours must be really tough. At least you have the mindset...<BR/><BR/>Melody, so what did you have the gravy with? I don't really see you as the buying frozen stuff-type, but if you are making them for your family, why don't you add more ingredients that you DO like?<BR/><BR/>JCMOrangie, I'm glad you found this post and I hope you can get some Sunshine Burgers and that you enjoy them. It must be hard on such a strict diet, but the more demand there is for "wheat and soy free" minus a lot of other stuff too, there will be a lot more products out there. Let me know how you liked them (or if you didn't).<BR/><BR/>Teddy, you should try this gravy, it's more like a sauce to me, than gravy. I love the ingredients! <BR/><BR/>Tamara, I would love love love to make the spanakopita, but my oven is not my friend. And you're recommending cookies to me?! You are killing me. <BR/><BR/>Julie, so you got my text message yesterday? There are about 15 boxes at the co-op, about 69 cents more than WFM, but find them where you can... I'm going to see if they have them at the Sunflower Market too. <BR/><BR/>Susan V, if they show up there, try them, but I would imagine if you made them at home they'd be amazing. Maybe you could do some sort of Southern Patties?!<BR/><BR/>Dori, let me know what you think of the movie. I keep a notepad too for so many different reasons. I love the wealth of info reaching us these days too, but I especially love communicating with other vegs from all over the world and learning about bits and pieces of "life". And yes, it's still hot here, about 105 F.<BR/><BR/>Isil, I will do my top 5 soon, thanks for inviting me. <BR/><BR/>Megan, go rent the movie... and eat some patties.<BR/><BR/>Geraldine, I hate seeing veggie burgers filled with egg whites, dairy, MSG, other fillers and crap, etc. These were ideal. Thanks for the comment, and I enjoyed reading your blog as well.<BR/><BR/>Savanna, yes, Ray is still enjoying the patties, but probably even more now since I am into them. As for you and your apple cider vinegar issues, this can be a tough one, but just replace the ACV with another vinegar or a tangy citrus or something. I would recommend to you that you might want to try ACV again in another dish or something because you might like it. There is vinegar in mustard so I was surprised to hear your enthusiasm for it. I semi-follow many of Dreena's recipes but they have ACV in it. I have a few recipes that I will dig up for you. <BR/><BR/>Suzy in England, if you can't get one on Amazon, I'd be happy to get it and ship it for you. I'm at the PO often and if you send me money for the book and shipping, I can get it from many stores around here. What do you think of that?<BR/><BR/>Vicki, I am jealous of your Idaho spuds! It's funny, we have about 50 movies on our que and when Ray wasn't home I quickly moved the Future of Food to the #1 spot and it "just came in the mail one day"! I *had* to see it. I am still not 100% but sick of saying I'm dizzy. Thanks Vicki.<BR/><BR/>Jody, you should rent the movie and then decide if you want to buy it or not. I thought the green sunshine burgers were horrible and I was lucky WFM was able to let me return a box of 2/3. I think you will enjoy the gravy when you try it. Good to see you here commenting.

I'm a celiac, along with being a vegan, so almost no faux meat products are gluten-free. But the sunshine burgers. And I've wanted to try them for a while, but I've been kinda scared too, because almost anything that's vegan and gluten-free (that's a faux meat or cheese product) because they're nasty (except Vegan Gourmet cheese, that stuff's awesome). Now maybe I'll try the sunshine burgers next time I go to the health food store :)Just call me Orangiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387756121351459562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-1156901296096009612006-08-29T18:28:00.000-07:002006-08-29T18:28:00.000-07:00PRCPG is soo good!

I also like the look of the stew from VWaV--I love black beans and may actually try this tomorrow! Will definitely pick up some fresh cilantro!<BR/><BR/>The movie you rented sounds like it would be very interesting, and I hope I can rent it soon. I just want to let you know that you really inspire me to be more concerned about the *quality* of the foods that go into my body, even the veggies. As a full-time student whose husband is a full-time unpaid missionary, we can't buy organic as often as we would like. I know a day will come soon when we can convert more and more of our diet. Anyway, just wanted to thank you and...yeah. I'll watch the film!

This might be something I would be able to put together on my own. I think I would enjoy it with a nice dollop of guacamole!<BR/><BR/>I blogged about The Future of Food a few weeks ago when hubby and I finally saw it. Unfortunately, like you, I couldn't say anything about the movie other than it gives me nightmares. Marty and I have tried to explain it to other people but where do you begin? It covers so much information and leaves me crying and angry. I will watch it again (we now own it) but haven't been able to because I am still so full of emotional rage against our government and society. I know we should feel lucky that we live in a country where we are given freedoms many other countries do not have but so often I am left with a bitter hatred towards the greed that our political climate is based on.<BR/><BR/>Ok, ok...
