8/20/2011 10 Comments Update from Renee'I did weigh last Thurday, after my vacation, and had gained 1/4#, which I didn't feel TOO bad about, considering I had consumed a few goodies (in moderation, of course!) while in Minneapolis at the CGOA dinner and fashion show. This past Thurday, I weighed again to find I had lost that 1/4#....plus another 1/2#! Success! I didn't wish to deprive myself during vacation, but wanted to be sensible about how many "treats" I enjoyed. Not too bad, I think. This brings me down to 180.5#. I am hoping to break 180 very, very soon. Haven't seen that in a little while!
On the cooking front, I made another batch of eggplant curry, from the recipe in The Candle Cafe' Cookbook, which I borrowed from Angel. It is destined for the freezer with a little pearl couscous for lunches during the week. Then this is what we had on Wednesday night. It was also from The CCC. It is Black Bean Soup. It called for vegetable stock, and since Angel had me save the stock we cooked our seitan in, I went to the freezer and thawed out 2 quarts to use in the soup. It was tasty! Next time, though, I will cook it entirely in the pressure cooker, as I am just too impatient to cook beans all day to get them as soft as I like them. Week before last I mentioned I had checked out some cookbooks. After looking through them, I decided to see if there was a Kindle edition of The Passionate Vegetarian (there isn't, just in case you're wondering); but, I did find a good used copy for $4.69, plus with a $5 Amazon coupon, it is basically mine for the cost of shipping, which is less than $4! Another score! I can't wait to get my own copy, as I had to return the one to the library; this way I won't smudge up the library copy while I am cooking. Until next time, this is Renee', signing off! Good eats!
