Cheater
Sometimes, I have to cheat on my dairy-free diet. It's really hard. I dream about butter. Seriously.
I've made two vegetarian recipes this week that bombed. Substituting tofu for pork doesn't always turn out well. Emil's comment was "I always wondered what eating a kitchen sponge would be like. Now I know." Yep, it was truly awful. He's a champ though and ate dinner AND the leftovers.
The second recipe was a thai burger made with ground up chickpeas (which I dislike, but willing to try), oats, cilantro, ginger, and garlic. Blech. Not even a good Crustini bun and sliced pineapple could save it. Pass the tater tots for a second helping.
After those meals, I made a delicious posole tonight with pork. And, homemade cornbread slathered with lots of butter. Glorious butter!
So, a little cheating every now and then is okay. Especially with this week's cooking. Next week's menu is filled with new recipes, so fingers crossed!
