I love Kale anytime of the year. This does sound refreshing for spring. They add lemon to it for an extra zing.

Why It Works

• Peeling the celery ribs ensures there are no stringy bits left in the salad.
• Small dried shrimp* add savory depth and pops of salinity in each bite.
• Cutting the scallions and chile pepper on a bias makes it easier for diners to pick up the salad with chopsticks.

*You can use Shiitake mushrooms instead of the dried shrimp.

Merry Christmas! I watched this YouTube video the other day and was fascinated. This guy is fun, and he makes this 18th century plum pudding with an 18th century kitchen, tools, and he is dressed in 18th century garb. Must see –

Now, there is one ingredient that made my skin crawl – Suet, ugh, watch the video to know what that is, I do not want to go into it.

This is the answer to that problem – Buy Whole Foods Vegan Suet (500g)

It also has eggs, so try these [I have not, hope it works…] – Plant Based Eggs – and milk. So substitute with the vegan milk of your choice – oat, soy, rice, almond, coconut, whatever.

For the sauce, you need butter to go with the brandy. Maybe this vegan butter is special enough for this sauce. It might do with enough brandy involved – Miyoko’s Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Vegan Butter

Have a fun Christmas!

I can’t believe I only just found this site, but I think I have tried a few of these Tasty Bite offerings from shopping at Walmart.

I gotta get out more, but funds are scarce.
 

I’m going to buy a pack of these. Look at all the offerings on the tastybite.com website >

Sorry for the pause, been busy this summer. This is not an advertisement, but it may as well be… I love this stuff. It is tasty and I swear I can feel the surge of nutrients into me when I drink it. I have it with a banana and whatever other fruit is in the house.

From the post on Serious Eats: “Beans and greens are a classic duo that works for saucing pasta, topping crusty grilled bread, or on its own as a simple and hearty soup. For this simple weeknight recipe, we give creamy white beans and earthy lacinato kale a funky, fiery, porky boost with the addition of ‘nduja.”

Now the queston is – what the heck is ‘nduja? And the answer is not gonna thrill you: PORK. Poor people’s ground pork, which means the stuff nobody wanted to eat mixed with such spicy stuff you don’t mind so much.

The answer to that problem about the pork is a video I found on youtube called Miami Vegan Nduja Made Nice, by Ellen Kanner
