That looks amazing thank you for sharing

All carbs all day

One thing that makes a huge difference is fresh spices. Even if the spices themselves aren’t super fresh, if you buy whole spices they degrade much slower than pre ground. A cheap coffee grinder is super handy for this. They are also cheaper. I have a bag of garam masala mix and I just grind what I need each time.

If you are comparing to restaurant food you might not be using as much fat and salt as they do. Personally I don’t cook with oil but common practice is to fry the spices and aromatics a bit to help release their flavours.

Fresh onion and ginger also makes a big difference I find, and lots of it. When I make a tomato gravy I process the onion and ginger together in the food processor for the base.

Looks amazing 😍

They were extremely expired lol. But my partner had mentioned lasagna last weekend so I decided to use them up. Turned out great!

Didn’t realize it didn’t link to the post, here is the salsa:

That plate looks amazing!

Ours are super low effort and not very homemade. The tortillas are rice based because we can only get tiny, stale corn tortillas here and rolling them is a nightmare. Both the beans and the sauce is from a can lol. 2/3 of the sauce options at the store had dead animals in them which I wasn’t expecting :(

The cashew cream is dead basic, I soaked raw cashews in boiled water for an hour or so and then used the immersion blended to blend then with a small amount of water, lemon juice and salt.

The salsa is high effort but it’s my partners specialty and I’m grateful every time he makes it.

Sigh. I usually have a personal rule about getting into arguments on the internet but I have no self control today apparently. I’m not even american but this comment missed the point so spectacularly, I feel the need to reply. Not as an attack on the person I am replying to, but almost as an academic exercise…

Interesting. I mean, I’m sure Bernie has faults but I don’t really see the point in attacking someone who created and is holding the only tent pole for, frankly, a reasonable middle of the road candidate (if we view him in comparison to the rest of the sane world).

I belive the message of the meme is that Bernie is doing harm but accumulating support as a more leftwing senator and then failing to actually take any meaningful stance. When people put hope into a member of the establishment that exists to uphold the current system at all costs, they give themselves a pat on the back, consider the job done, and fail to look at other possibilities which would lead to their actual liberation. The idea that he serves to “hold the tent pole” for a middle of the road candidate is not logical because in practice he is no different than the rest of the DNC.

But I agree with you, attacking Bernie isn’t the way. Reeks of agent provocateur.

My guess is it’s a fresh wave of propaganda to wedge the progressives. What’s new.

I don’t understand how this could in any way be compared to an agent provocateur, but I suppose what is meant is sowing discord more than the more literal meaning. Overall, I agree. This meme is meant to point out that Bernie is actively harmful to liberation of the american people and is meant to ask people to wedge from the “progressives” who seek polite imperialism.

People don’t have to be perfect for us to join the cause and make it better. Don’t fall for it kids. We only get out of this if we ignore this bullshit and link arms.

I don’t disagree with this statement but the OP isn’t attacking Bernie for being imperfect but pointing out that this is by design.

Ps: and look, I get it if Bernie isn’t left enough for some of you. That’s ok to feel that way and it’s probably true for a good lot of you. But attacking him ain’t gonna solve the massive fuckstorm we are collectively going to go through. We either quit bullshit like this or die from factionalization. Like every other movement has in the past 95 years.

Supporting the DNC isn’t going to fix your country either. There is no path to liberation within your current system. Good luck tho ✌️

Looks so satisfying!

This unlocks a memory of working in a pub 10 years 15 ago and cranking out dozens of buffalo wraps over the course of a shift. They had a version with deep fried tofu, but sadly no vegan sauce.

Edit: I’m old 😭

11/10 would gobble

Dont forget JFK jr making a list of all autistic people in america.

Yes, this is what I meant by worrying about being able to travel to the states.

I’m kind of in the same place. I’m on a waiting list for an assessment. I have two therapists (one individual, one couples) and they both operate under the assumption I am AuDHD. One is autistic herself so I take that as peer review lol.

Here are my pros and cons:

Pro:

• Possible workplace accommodations. Work is very chill about needs but I would feel less guilt about asking for something someone else told me would help.
• Help identifying what accommodations I could use
• Giving me a “reason” for why I am the way I am - justification to make life changes to be more healthy and happy (vs being an absolute failure who deserves to work myself into an early grave).
• I am in a leadership position in my industry - I feel like it’s my duty to let my freak flag fly, so to speak, to allow others to know they are not alone. Diagnosis would be validating and make me feel comfortable saying to a wider audience “I’m autistic”. Lets be real, the ND% in my industry is well above average (extremely niche engineering discipline) but it would be nice to see people be more open about it.

Cons:

• My boss’s boss is ableist as fuck although I suspect she’s ND as well. I don’t want to leave my job but I will not put up with any of her shit if she decides to comment on this. She’s already made ableist comments to me about people being ND without knowing I am ND.
• I worry about the ability to immigrate in the future. I have no plans to, but I know that I wouldn’t be able to move to my current country if I had a diagnosis. (I don’t think it needs to go on my medical file as it’s done outside of the health care system but IDK).
• I worry about the ability to travel to the states. I have no desire to do so currently (even though there are so many trains I want to ride and so many nature I want to see) but I do have aging family there. I was already nervous going last year with my ADHD meds but we drove and it didn’t come up, but I feel like border crossing is only going to get worse.

Nope, just blended chickpeas.

Please refrain from critique as it is explicitly again this community’s rules. Thanks!

You’ll stop craving carnist ‘food’ over time, I promise! I think the best bet is to find recipes you like that are not trying to replicate something but are delicious as their own thing.

Plant milks are the only thing I buy regularly, but I’m not sure I would really consider that a substitute. People make their own for very cheap but I don’t use enough that it feels worth it to me. I go through a small container a week for two people, just to splash in our coffee.

I had some giant jars of commercial salsa in the basement that were going to expire so I dumped them in the EPC with some soaked chickpeas, veggie stock and oregano.

Soup was not the goal but it was a happy accident.

Thanks for sharing this. We don’t do PBC in our house (for the most part) but I’ve had trouble expressing to my spouse how “demonstrating demand” isn’t really a thing.

There are so many variables that go into a business decision to make vegan products, and with these companies so heavily invested in animal exploitation, the demand for the products is << so many others. Even if people are buying the products, they could suddenly decide they aren’t as profitable as animal bodies, or they want to use those machines to process animal bodies for a while, etc. No amount of consumer demand is going to outweigh the return on animal exploitation for companies that are built around it.

This looks seriously delicious. Unlike eggs, which are gross af and not food.

No need for a special rice, I used some unlabeled short grain that has been in the pantry for a long time lol. I’m not saying I never buy glutinous Japonica rice, but it’s expensive and I’m turbo cheap.

To season the rice I just used a commercially available seasoned rice vinegar (rice vinegar, sugar, salt, kelp, yeast extract) and I also added mirin. That’s a very lazy and easy method but I’ve also made my own seasoning in a sauce pan to dissolve the sugar. I think the key components are vinegar, salt, sugar and mirin so if you find a recipe like that you’re probably good. I learned to make sushi from home when I was a teen from a cookbook - I’ve been winging it for like 20 years since then, lol.

I’ve never cooked the rice with the seasoning and I think you would risk burning it because of the sugar. I made my rice in the rice cooker, then drizzled the seasoning on and used a paddle to incorporate.

I hope you try it out! Even if you just eat it in a bowl instead of making rolls it’s delicious and quite easy to make at home.

So comforting!
