That sounds good, im hungry. But i just read that a croissant is the most wasteful food that exists in terms of nutrients vs calories. Yumminess was not a factor. OBVS!!!!!!

There are yummy gluten free pretzels made by Snyder's. H went gluten free for awhile. It wasn't too hard. Lactose free was harder on him.

I am a fairly healthy eater but sometimes you just have to eat what you want that makes you feel good and enjoy it. No one gets out alive whether you eat croissants or wheatgrass.

I made this stew for lunch today, and it is delicious. It tastes a lot like beef stew but without the cost or environmental impact of buying beef. Few things make me happier than having good leftovers.

I’m being bad... I found the old steak-ums ... I don’t think they have any beef in them but they aren’t vegan either... I think they are right up there with hotdogs. But.... oooooh they taste good today! I put them on wheat bread to make myself feel better... but I don’t think that really counts either

Mi-Del has really good gluten-free ginger snaps (I also tried gluten-free at one point). Most of the pasta is awful. There was a bread I really liked, and now I forget the brand. Was in the frozen section.

LOL! That was actually an ad series in the 1950's and 60's, to promote how comfortable the bras were, that women were out doing amazing things wearing just their bras. Unlike today, when they actually are. I just meant the oniony smell of steak-ums reminded me of White Castle fast food. If i were wearing a bra, i would be overdressed for a change!

Ahhhh I thought white castle was a place, like Warwick castle.

Less clothes = less washing!

That looks amazing. I just printed it. Thanks for posting!

I am not vegan, or even vegetarian, but I have a couple veg/vegan cookbooks because the flavors don't rely on meat or dairy, and I can add leftover chicken (or whatever) if I have it.

Yeah, we aren't vegetarians or vegans either, but I like vegetarian cooking a lot. Plus dealing with raw meat is icky. Budget Bytes has a ton of good recipes, both meaty and not.

I used to date a strict vegetarian who made a big deal about wanting me to stop eating meat. I tried, but I never could figure out what I could eat. Then I started dating my wife, who was sort of vegetarian and an excellent cook, and suddenly I was eating vegetarian almost exclusively without even noticing. Plus she did not care if I ate meat or not, which is part of why I married her and not the former girlfriend. Few people like being controlled...

This sounds a lot like me and my H, except with me in your wife's role. I'm vegetarian but didn't expect H to be one. But it's easier just to make meals that we both eat. And he seems content to eat vegetarian much of the time. He even often chooses to order a black bean burger (a housemade one at a local restaurant) or some other vegetarian options when we're out. He'll still often get meat out, but will often say he doesn't feel that well if he's had a burger or meatball sub. Then there's my D, who just eats the burger or hot dog off the bun...But she also likes some stuff like hummus, so maybe there's hope...

I couchies! I'm having kind of a nice day, actually--spent the night with the BF, then had brunch with a good friend, now holing up inside watching the rain and playing Zelda. (I'd never been into video games until EM mentioned Stardew Valley on this board about a year ago... now I'm hooked!)

Hope y'all are having reasonably nice days as well

I'm hurting real bad. T cancelled our last session tomorrow because of pregnancy complications and she's now on bedrest. I didn't even get to say goodbye. She didn't hold my objects to re-energize them. She's going to have someone get my letter. And I'm asking her to still leave me a voicemail, tell me the gender of her baby and/or what color to make the blanket, and what day I can expect to hear from her again. I'm so sad and depressed. Six months without her. I now have to worry about her as well for 6 months. I don't want anything bad happening to her or her baby!

Any and all support welcomed!

For my fellow academics.... One of our job candidates has filed a complaint that she was discriminated against because of her race/ethnicity. Her evidence is the claim that someone told her that her teaching demo was 20 minutes long but a) the search chair denied saying that and only communicated with her through email, none of which said anything about 20 minutes and b) she was twice sent a schedule that showed the teaching demo was 55 minutes long.

Aside from the fact that 55 minutes is clearly too long for a teaching demo, this has me very upset because my colleague did not discriminate against this candidate. This person was clearly the second choice of the committee when we met. She wasn't able to answer any questions asked during the whole day, including a question from a student during the teaching demo that basically asked "how should we apply this when working in our field?"

Just very upset to have a colleague be accused of racism and worried that we might be forced to hire this person.

I'm sorry, @ScarletPimpernel.

That sounds really tough. I hope everything turns out well for your T, and that you are still able to make the blanket.

If I were she, I wouldn’t want to work in a place where I’d burned my bridges before I even got there by alienating my future colleagues.

If she could not demonstrate competence and your department is agreed on that, I can’t imagine being forced to hire her.

Incidentally I’ve never done a teaching demo less than 45 minutes.
