Recipe Blog

I started a blog for recipes. It is by no means meant to be fancy or gourmet or anything like that. I plan on posting all the recipes that I make in 2010. I started a little early, and there are 4 recipes that I've made in the last week that are posted there now

Nice! My public posts are almost all recipe posts. I like to track all the recipes I try to make each year but I just tag them as ' recipelist' It's fun being able to go back and seeing what I've cooked.

Since you eat vegan, does your husband end up eating a few more vegan/vegetarian meals than he might otherwise have eaten?

That's a good idea. Not a lot of "real life" people know about my LJ... it's one of my online things that I keep kind of covered up so that I don't have to worry who is reading it. For the same reason, almost all of my posts are friends-only. I just like having control over who's reading. :)

Yeah, my husband does eat some vegan/vegetarian stuff. For instance, tonight we went out to PF Chang's and he said he'd try the vegetarian lettuce wraps (with tofu). (Of course, then I found out that there's oyster sauce in their sauce they mix at the table, and milk in many of the sauces in their dishes....)
Sometimes I make us separate meals, or we make our own meals, but a lot of the time, I'll just decide what to make and then make mine vegan and his not... like add chicken to his or leave it out of mine.

Eating out seems like it would be really hard for eating vegan. Even just vegetarian restrictions can get tricky. "Um...is that meat in these green beans?" we asked a waitress once. "Yes...it's pork!" "oh..." said my friend. "I can't eat pork." "You should've ordered the vegetarian green beans!"

Yeah, I asked our server tonight what the base of the sauce was, because they make you one but we always use all that and I tried to make more with soy sauce as the base but it was way too spicy. I was just asking b/c I was curious, but then he told me that they mix oyster sauce in it too, and since I hadn't told him I was a vegetarian he assumed that I wasn't. I think he was afraid I was going to get mad. I do my best but if I slip up and eat something non-vegan by mistake or whatever, I don't freak out.
