Meh, I suppose it depends on your lifestyle and how much money you have spare a week. We can afford to go out for dinner quite often and spend like £40 or so. Not that it's worth it, the more I go out for food the less I think it's worth paying for, it's never nice enough for that kinda money.
Dude, thats a side. Like french fries. I guess most of my meals are based around having a meat and a vegetable though. Or a soup and a bread.

i was curious after hearing the asparagus recipe if anybody had creative ways to cook all those damn veggies that are so good for you..
I just cannot stomach:
spinach
cauliflower
brussel sprouts
asparagus
okra
squash
zucchini
although I found out last week I can eat sauteed butternut squash without vomiting, though barely.
I wish I liked that stuff cause I know it's good for you.

Hmmm...
You do have enough stuff for some stir-fry, but I'd guess as a vegan you have a lot of that.
wtf is rocket?

Well for a start if you had spinach and cauliflower curry I'm sure you'd like it, it's lovely.
As for brusells I saw on TV that 1/3 of people don't like them because they have veyr sensitive and more than normal tastebuds so that explains that.
As for zucchini (or courgette are we brits call it) it goes very nicely into pasta sauces to bulk them out and you barely notice them so that's easy to put in and eat.
Okra's very hard to cook and still have tasting nice so most people rightfully avoid it, I've only had it tasting nice once and that was from a friend of mine who is usually far too drunk to cook.
a lot of that stuff you can grind up or finely shred and throw it into dishes or baked goods. zucchini muffins, squash/zucchini/spinach in your spaghetti sauce...
raw squash with some ranch is good...eat it like chips.
well, yes, we don't do out-of-home food often, but i find that nibbling on the kids is a great alternative.

Soooo do I look as young as I look?
I went to a tapas place last night. So good. I had a crab and shrimp crepe and lobster ravioli. droool
Yeah that doesn't help you but it was good.

I've never cooked meat, I prepped and cooked squid once, that was pretty grim but not so bad after a few tries. I just don't think in terms of meat and then vegetables on a plate, I always think of veg or veg with a meat substitute.
I don't think anybody likes the smell of them, they have a sulphur smell. As for texture are they too hard, too soft? It's all in the cooking, I like mine with a crunch in the very middle. If they're overcooked then they're not good for you.

LOL.. Jerry Seinfeld's wife was on oprah about a year ago touting the merits of pureed veggies. said that was how she was getting stuff like carrots into her kids' diets. think she ground up cauliflower or the like to include in the breading of baked chicken nuggets.. her kids didn't know it as all.
stupid question of the day: the nutrients remain the same correct? there's not any kind of breakdown like when you boil veggies?
thanks TB. and thanks NME.
you could make a huge bleeding salad I suppose. Then you get the I want something hot though.

um, i don't know about that, really. i would assume that just changing the raw form wouldn't do anything, but i'm sure they change with cooking or baking.
you could always make your own baby food by pureeing stuff and then setting some out for your own dishes. or hell...just use baby food. i saw a recipe a few days ago for banana muffins made from banana baby food.
