The hot veggie sandwiches at Roly Poly: a yummy, delightful array of inventive combinations; truly a pleasure to eat
The cold veggie sandwiches at Roly Poly: variations on the theme of "disappointing"; think "lettuce + something"
Two:
The cheese enchiladas I made last week = swooooooon.
The beef enchiladas I made last night = meh. The beef was too distracting from the yumminess of the cheese, onions, cilantro & enchilada sauce.
Three:
We've recently had an offer to buy 1/4 a local cow at a very good price. We did some figuring and discovered that this is vastly more red meat than we eat anymore, even all year. Even splitting a 1/4 (that would be an 1/8th, eh?) is too much. Good. No cow-buying, as this would only inspire us to eat more of things we don't need to eat. If & when we want red meat, I know where to get it.
Four:
I <3 seitan! I haven't made any for awhile--need to fix that situation.

The enchiladas sound yummy...
How many pounds of meat is 1/8th a cow? *curious*
Seitan... is that the kind of gluten that people are trying to eliminate from their diets??? (I looked it up, and it said it was "wheat gluten")
Yeah, seitan is made from wheat gluten. I'm not aware of anyone trying to eliminate that from their diet, unless they're allergic to wheat or gluten, though--is there yet another diet fad? Seitan is made by making a... well first you... er... hm... not entirely sure how to describe this, actually. Seitan is usually used in our culture as a good meat substitute, although in it's original Asian home it's a food in and of itself, not just a replacement for something else. I absolutely loooooove crispy sweet-n-sour seitan; it's an awesome asian stirfry dish, tastes quite a bit like General Tso's Chicken. I think that recipe is somewhere in my ROTW links, too, but I don't know if there's a pic or not.
