The chocolate cups were by far my favorite and looked unbelievably delicious. The stir fry looked great too. We grew black bellpeppers and they are similar to the purple, very dark on the outside, but green on the inside. The flavor was much like a green bellpepper and slightly disappointing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-74167744856446313502006-09-16T07:43:00.000-07:002006-09-16T07:43:00.000-07:00Wow, glad I stopped by!!

I do live about 4 blocks away from a co-op so I'll have to check it out. Also, I didn't know Sunflower carried hemp seeds, but when I go again I will definately look! I would go to WFM, but there isn't one here. :( When I go up to Phoenix again sometime I'll have to check WFM again. Definately have to eat at Green again too!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249184534496405120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-61778522435456265772006-09-14T12:47:00.000-07:002006-09-14T12:47:00.000-07:00Wow, I don't even know where to begin.

Too bad I wasted...Dori, the caramel sauce was good. Too bad I wasted most of it by leaving it out overnight. It still isn't cooler here in the day, only nights, but ask me again in February (hee hee).<br /><br />Megan, I know all of Dreena's new recipes will be great, but just the new pesto and butter cream is reason enough to buy the book! Can't wait either.<br /><br />Emmy, thanks for finding and commenting on my blog. The fruit gels were super-easy and fast. As for the hemp seeds, they don't taste like much (to me) but they have a sort of earthy, nutty taste. I like to spoon them over almost anything, especially cereal. Again, thanks for visiting, hope to see you around soon.<br /><br />Susan, I'm glad the fruit cups worked out too. Mostly, I'm glad you posted a recipe for those. My fruit combo was random, but I couldn't think of anything much better than plum and mango, anyway.<br /><br />Teresa, our agar is $6 per ounce (28g) and as that is expensive, you don't use a lot at once, unless you plan on making a ton of things with agar. It took me a long time to "splurge" but after using just a bit here and there, it doesn't seem so bad now. Very justifiable, I think. Silk nog is wonderful, very different than what I posted about. My nog was more of a banana nog. Silk nog is heaven!<br /><br />Johanna, you will get the agar soon. Do you still want it off the list for now? <br /><br />Kaji's mom, the purple pepper to me is just like people, you never really know who they are from the outside until they open up. Then you really discover what's up. <br /><br />Dreena, yes, this was a serious post because it took me a whole week to get computer time to post it! Things just kept adding up, as it was going to just be an agar post. So when are you coming over for dinner (dessert!)? You tell me. You are welcome anytime and everytime! I already know I like you.<br /><br />Savanna, it's good you've been freaked out by the fruit gels until now. Now there is no junk or animal bones ground up. Try it! Your pancakes sound wonderful, totally my type of dinner.<br /><br />Vicki, waaaay over the top, eh? I guess I have a lot to redeem, hence my super-lack of posting.<br /><br />Crystal (VV), I know my posts are too far and in between, I hope to remedy that one day soon. Those phylo cups are great for anything. Pre-baked and you can make them sweet or savory. I've never gone savory, maybe you should during your "break" from sweets. They are made by Filo Factory. (I'll comment about the freezing at the way bottom.)<br /><br />Pure Zuke, make the jello cups, you will enjoy them. Plus, it would be a great snack to take along with you to work or on the boat. Your dad would probably go for them too (no tofu!). <br /><br />Urban Vegan, I thought it looked like stained glass too.<br /><br />Laura Jesser, 2T of agar flakes is equal to 1t of agar powder. I think you should try Silk Nog. It's wonderful, very light (suprisingly) and it actually has less caloric value, fat and ingredients than vanilla soy.<br /><br />Jennifer C, one pot meals are great for those lazy times! Why do you only dream of so many treats? Moderation would be ok (although I go way overboard).<br /><br />Teddy, no, no Silk nog already! Although they do still have Soy Dream EggNog ice cream (weird). "Say it ain't fall yet"... It ain't fall yet. The wind blew through and gave us a bit cooler mornings and evenings, but that really just means it's under 100 degrees then.<br /><br />Jess, I know giant posts are your favorite kind, I can tell from your blog. Wow, the stirfry is your favorite!? You have willpower.<br /><br />Mary, yes, you should make sopapilla sometime soon. You are welcome for the ice cream and sweets inspiration (coming from a nutritionist), although I hide nutrients and good stuff in my vegan junk. It's funny how my junkiest foods aren't even really bad.<br /><br />Kris, agar was on my list of irrational food fears too. Now my list just consists of tools used to make foods, and the oven and toaster oven tie at #1. Hate them!!! Terrified of them! I know it's a year away, but don't forget to do a huge review on the Millenium.<br /><br />Bazu, of course you can link me! Agar does cost a good amount, but as I stated above in the comments, you don't need much at a time and it will last for a while. My $6/oz was worth it. <br /><br />Kleo, thank you for your kind comment, and I don't know what happened to your long post either.<br /><br />Savanna (again), thank you! Those jeans are as old as they look. I refuse to buy pants with pre-made holes in them like the "style" that is "popular" now. Can't a woman get a regular pair of jeans without rips, pre-stains, pre-wrinkles, and glitter?!<br /><br />Maryjamie, try agar, don't be afraid! Baby steps... start with this like I did. You can really get creative with agar after a while.<br /><br />Teddy, ooh, yes it is a new pic on blogger but not really a recent photo of me. It was taken on real grass in Kansas. We don't have real grass here.<br /><br />Mary (again), do you remember how much they were at Sunflower Market? Mine were I think just under $3 for the box of 15. I only take a few out at a time to use and tape the box back up. The pudding is seriously something so quick and easy to make. You just need a bowl, a blender and a microwave. I microwave the water since I'm too lazy to boil just 1/4c water. I get my hemp seeds at the co-op. They are $11 per pound. I usually get 1/2 lb at a time and they last months. I keep them refrigerated. They have hemp nut butter at Sunflower (it's new there, I requested it) but only buy it if they moved it to the fridge section of the natural living department. They refused to move it there when I had serious concerns and because it was on sale ($8 something per jar), I made the mistake of buying it (on the shelf) and the butter turned to oil and it leaked out all over the rest of my stuff. Don't buy the hemp butter there, get it at WFM or something. But the seeds, go for it!<br /><br />Kleo (again), you are welcome. I think you are compassionate, caring and a whole bunch of fun. I know way too many people to even count on both hands that have died in car accidents (since I was 13, and on) and I have major "issues" about the car. I'm with you all the way.<br /><br />Crystal (again), you probably didn't bug the bejeezus out of Dori, but you cracked me up telling me that. Ok, first, don't freeze lettuce. It's not good. As long as you are freezing under 0 degrees F, you basically hinder the growth and movement of any bacteria, yeast, mold, basically microbes. You also retain the nutrient values, color and flavor. But, the thawing part is the dangerous part, where the microbes can have all the factors they need to get you sick. Once you defrost the veggies, you want to treat them as if you never even froze them before (since you didn't kill anything, you sort of just froze the growing process). If you go to this link they can help you with how to store your frozen goods. You may not want to add water to everything before freezing because you can end up with certain air pockets. Just read the link: <br />www.extension.iastate.edu/Publications/PM1045.pdf if you can't view it let me know and I'll attach it for you. All in all, freezing is a good thing and won't make you unsafe or sick, it's the thawing you need to watch and do quickly.

I have found that if I store some veggies in a gallon sized ziploc bag, filled with water, in the fridge, they stay fresher longer (carrots, celery, green onions, lettuce, etc). Do you think this is safe? I can't really see why not but I got to thinking about it the other day and I thought you (and Dori) would be good people to ask. Since I've already bugged the bejeezus out of Dori regarding bread, I'm coming to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-29011154572094783552006-09-11T22:25:00.000-07:002006-09-11T22:25:00.000-07:00I haven't used agar yet ... maybe this will inspir...I haven't used agar yet ... maybe this will inspire me :-)Maryjamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823370107874196689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-14374544833947712162006-09-10T22:09:00.000-07:002006-09-10T22:09:00.000-07:00Nice, nice new photo of you, Leslie.

We have purple bellpeppers growing in our garden, and I was pretty shocked too the first time I cut into one and the inside was regular green!
