Day 10

Saturday night I made an *amazing* dinner that I shared with my beautiful friends, Maria and Yvette plus, of course, my boyfriend. It was roasted tahini brussels sprouts, grilled eggplant, corn & edamame salad, and the delicious quinoa-chickpea pilaf from Veganomicon with toasted kalamata bread. It was quite a successful meal, everyone was full happy, ebullient with praise and wine. And then more wine, and then beer, and then more beer at the party we went to...

    When I was a nanny, I had to cook some vegan recipes for the family I worked for. One of them was this quinoa and black rice salad, if I recall correctly. I'll try to find the recipe. It had nuts in it, so I didn't try it, but apparently it was a big hit amongst it's devourers.

    Alright that took only a few seconds. It was actually red rice, and I believe she had me substitute the pistachios for almonds or walnuts, I guess any nut will do, as long as it's not overpowering. Enjoy.

    Thanks, Alyssa. Do you have a nut allergy?

    No, I just really don't like nuts! I think I ate peanut butter once as a kid and it made me really nauseous, so I haven't touched it or any other nut since. I make the exception for honey nut cheerios, but most everything else is off limits for me.

    that's a shame. nuts are essential for me. at least you're not one of those cilantro haters... or are you?!
