You are very easily influenced Molls.

Just some pasta sauce for tonight using my leftover sautéed veggies (I'm out of sandwich slims, so what the hell), the leftover sauce from the lasagna rolls, a can of petite diced tomatoes, and some roasted garlic evoo (plus four roasted cloves)... I think I'll snip in some extra baby kale, too....
That looks like chickpea salad.I love mock tuna salad way too much.

I want that corn.
I opened a can of Van Camps baked beans. Yuck.
I made sure no animal stuffs, or natural flavors, but they do have HFCS. I wanted a different brand that has 'steakhouse' (it's vegan), but couldn't remember which one. Van Camps tastes like spoiled molasses, and the beans themselves aren't even good.
Can't wait for Aldi to bring their brand back.
It's so nice to be able to open a can of something sometimes, sucks to be so disappointed.
Imma gonna saute some tofu and broccoli

The salad is made with chickpeas, but has crushed nori in it to make it taste "fishy". It also has celery, relish, Mayo and a smidge of Dijon. The corn was divine.
I can't wait for local corn. That is one of the best things about summer.
I sautéed onions and peppers and had them in a wrap with Daiya cheddar shreds and hot sauce. I have enough for lunch tomorrow.

Makin' the rest of my rotini which I'll toss with some roasted garlic olive oil... I'll have that set to go for tonight so I only need to add sauce & reheat.
Also packed up a few bite-sized lasagna rolls for Jerry....

Reheating one of the falafels & the pita from Zitoon (both in foil, in the oven). I hope I can make this wrap/sandwich a little less dry than last time... I can no longer use their tasty garlicky dressing since it has dairy. So it's gonna be a thick pita spread with hummus (theirs & mine), tabbouli, a stuffed grape leaf or two, a crumbled falafel, maybe some baby kale, perhaps a drizzle of sesame oil, but definitely some sliced tomato....

I get it. People are conditioned to think of that universal (right?) sea taste as 'fishy'. I take algae oil supplements that are reviewed as 'fishy' tasting-even without a speck of fish. In other words they are 'algae' tasting. Or best yet, 'sea' tasting
I'd name that chickpea salad "sea style" chickpea salad
I agree, algues don't taste like fish. I don't see how a chickpea salad rates remotely like tuna.

I don't believe I've ever willingly eaten algae, but I'll absolutely agree on the chickpea salad. I've said before, I love the stuff I've made & if it tasted anything like tuna/chicken salad, I wouldn't eat it. Garbanzos rule!

Makin' a wrap (now I have some) with the remaining two grape leaves & one falafel, not forgetting about hummus, tabbouli, & tomato of course.
Well yeah, but i see how people compare. Kelp flakes give it the taste of seafoodI don't believe I've ever willingly eaten algae, but I'll absolutely agree on the chickpea salad.

Black salt gives it the egg salad taste
Curry powder reminds me more of chicken
I was just making the point that these are all tastes of things other than flesh.
Like chicken or beef broth. There is nothing vegan that tastes like water you boiled a chicken in, but leave out the chicken and add the herbs and it tastes quite similar. Same with bacon, sausage, cutlets, balls,loafs, deli slices. You can give these flavors to all kinds of non flesh foods and they'll taste similair. I'd like those words still applied, just not the animals. The taste doesn't come from the animal anyway, it's just what people are used to.

About to make a whatever-I've-got-handy spicy black bean & rice filling for more wraps. I couldn't find a single, solo onion last night (Kroger's rearranging things again), so I've got a bunch of green onions (yum!)... I'll start with the sautéing the white parts in roasted garlic evoo, adding more minced garlic & some chopped baby kale... then my picante sauce, the beans, the rice, and we'll see what happens next....
Oh! The frozen peas & carrots! I would've completely forgotten about those were it not for an alert (chat thread).... @PTree15

Well, I guess that'll do for now. When I make a wrap with this stuff tonight I'll add green onion, Chao cheese, & sliced tomato....
Cripes, there's so much of this stuff, it could last me all week! LOL
