Hi Jaz, I think my vegetable stock woke him, but he'll get over it because I've made a delicious moussaka, pumpkin soup, bit of Philly so made some garlic herb dip, can't be arsed washing so why not throw in a brocolli salad just picked from my dad's garden. Phew Thermie is exhausted! Is this the type of obsessive TMX behaviour one can expect in the first few days?
OK what's with the salt content in the stock??? I can understand the shelf life but I made mine with 50 gms of salt and that tasted VERY salty, but nice (and purple because I used purple carrots). I've frozen the majority in ice cube trays so should last OK.
Hi Judydawn, I'm vegetarian and my family is be default because I won't cook meat. I'm fairly relaxed about it though having only been vegetarian for about a year, ie if my mum cooks something with meat I will probably eat it, as long as it's not a big obvious piece of steak or something. Secretly I still eat the occasional fish shop Dim Sim, there can't be much mystery meat in those! But most recipes my family like I can easily convert ie anything with mince I just add lentils or other pulses and that's so much healthier and cheaper and the meat loving family don't even notice. I'd probably be vegan except for the constant supply of milk & cheese my husband brings into the house, embarrassingly I convert some recipes from my vegan cookbooks back to containing dairy But one of the reasons for getting the TMX was to do things such as nut milks and nut creams that my crappy little blender could never handle and eventually burnt out.
Yeah might move his bed out to the back shed!
