it turns out that D18 has recently GONE VEGGIE.
What do you mean he don't eat no meat?
Oh, that's okay. I make lamb.
(guess the movie line)
alas and alack, that means:
no pork
no lamb
no beef
no tshicken (sic)
no fish
... a veritable VEGETABLE-arian then???
I'm a vegetable-arian too. (guess the other movie line)
enter pumpkin soup, pumpkin and fetta frittata, pasta and sauce, rainbow veggie soup, felafels and salady-bits in pita breads, olives cheeses and
well actually, upon clarification, D18's decided that he won't eat things that have a brain. aha, he makes his own rules then, just like me.
enter Green Lipped Mussels:
enter the resident muscles
enter the resident muscles
enter a swish of this, a tin or two of that, and a teaspoon of this:
a little reduction, add the scrubbed brainless mussels.whang on the lid, boil to death for 8 minutes.
ohhh la la, a veritable "vegetable-arian" feast.

I always pitied the vegetarians at D18's residential establishment when I lived there - all egg'n'cheese. I'd grab Alison Holst's Meals without Meat or The Moosewood Cookbook for some inspiration.
ooh lala, looks very artsy
(i would say delicious but i hate seafood - can still appreciate the artsiness though ;) )
i love me some crustless quiche with a lil bit of everything tossed in - meals without meat is great, i use the mac n cheese recipe out of there, but that's not very exotic or artsy now is it ;)
Movie Line #1: My Big Fat Greek Wedding (hilarious!)
Here's a whack o' veggie recipes for you and D18:

Remember to share! :)
The Vegetarian Adventure Cookbook is another goodie. Those mussels look very flash. Have just emailed you some of our favourites.
OOOOHHH! i am making the yummiest salad for my men tonight (yes MEN, i have Duncan on a monday too!) I made it last week and they begged for it again this week! I will e-mail later after i have fed the kiddywigs! And yes it does fill up even grown men! (and almost grown ones too!
One of our favourite meals is Jamie's Spagetti with Cherry tomatoes, Olives & Chilli. cook spagetti (needs to be dried not fresh) in a wok/pan throw in some olive oil (lots) garlic & chilli flakes and heat then throw in the squashed up tomatoes and olives (use the back of a knife to much them so that they aren't pulp just a bit mushed) cook for a few minutes and then throw in your spagetti and toss around - coating the pasta in the yummy chilli & garlic infused oil. Delish!! Olives and tomatoes were dead cheap in London - about 89p for a punnet of toms and 50p for a jar of (VERY YUMMY SPANISH) olives so it was our budget dinner that we had pretty much every week and still really love!
hey girls-es!!!
thanks a million billion for all the recipes and ideas. it turns out that D18 is The Typical Teenager:
"Hi, Mum! Hi, Dad!"
kiss. kiss.
*sleep two nights at home*
"Uh, can i borrow the car?"
*roar off in Rasputin all around the The Sunny Bay doin' various road trips and hangin' wiv da mates*
so at this stage we're having two nights on/two nights off the Veggie Tales dinners.
and loads of Fabulous Moments in between...
