Eggplant and Peppers and Mushrooms, oh my!

A co-opified take on the Thai Crepes in Vegetarian Planet, the book that (8 years ago!) taught me how to cook without meat.

Salad Greens, with the Moosewood carrot dressing again, because it's that good.

Low Carb Whole Wheat Tortillas: spongy, a fair stand in for the crepes, which would have been way too much work to make

Veggie Stir Fry: eggplants and mushrooms and red peppers and green onions with soy sauce, vinegar, and some powdered spices

Baked Salmon: with mustard, soy, and garlic. In the oven at 350 for a half hour. Could have used some sweetness

Stir Fried Tofu: a la Megan Williams. A little greasy, but the best greasy tofu I've seen around here in a while.

Pinto Beans with Onions and just a little five spice powder

Jasmine Rice with Turmeric: 14 cups rice, 17 cups water, double rinsed, coated with just a little oil. Worked just like Christie said it would.

Lychee cupcakes: Not as lycheetastic as I expected, but still quite good. Next week - Coconut lime?
