Ahoy folks! I thought I'd start a thread where you can ask for recipes and advice on how to use up an ingredient (e.g. a vegetable, fruit, grain, bean, etc.) of which you have lots and lots and lots; or which is new to you and you don't know where to start with it.
I'll go first. :P I have many, many tasty carrots from the farmers' market which I need to use before they go soft.
Recipes, please.
I know, I know, carrots - simple - should be a no-brainer... but I was not fond of them for a long time, simply because I'd never known anything but raw or steamed carrots with very little flavour. I like to do INTERESTING things with them. They're so adaptable! Gimme your adaptations! :D
FREAK! :P
i also dislike......brace yourselves........... DAIYA
me too so i guess you're not a total weirdo :P
I don't get this whole hating of foods thing. I guess I'm just not a picky eater. I don't love Daiya, but I certainly don't hate it.
According to omnis, we're ALL picky eaters here. We exclude an entire category of food. 8)
But I can do better than that. I dislike raw tomatoes, shrooms, celery and peas. Four rather ubiquitous vegetables, no? Oh, and I'm with the pickle-haters.
I've always been a super picky eater. I don't really get it either. I think mostly the things I don't like are because they're stinky: stinky vinegar (pickled things), stinky onion-y (hummus), stinky cheesy, etc. I hope this means we can still be friends, sb! </3
Not that I'm trying to contradict yr food preferences, sog, but hummus is garlicy, not oniony. ;)
really? i should try it again. i usually like garlicky things.
Yes, do! ;)b
i also dislike......brace yourselves........... DAIYA
sb, there's a love list? aw
I'm not gaga over Daiya either. I mean the way some vegans fall to their knees over it is embarrassing. There are no onions in hummus, so that's not a good picky reason not to like it. There is a love list, but don't tell SB...he's not on it either.

I've never understood picky eaters either.......or people that won't eat a certain food that tastes good but they don't like the texture....I mean it all turns to mush anyway.....but people are allowed their own tastes. I'm lucky I'm not picky and it made life easy on my mom. There are only two vegan foods I won't eat,...canned peas and okra.

Neither do I. My DH is sooo picky he makes me crazy. He always tells me I "eat too fast" because I finish way before he does. This is because I do not take tiny spoon/forkfuls and examine each one for 5 to 10 seconds before putting them in my mouth, nor do I sit and sort out any visible fragments of onion etc no matter how small, and line them up in a decorative edging around the rim of my plate! I put the food straight in my mouth, chewing if required.

I'm totally guilty of this. Even things that I like the flavor of. I love salsa but hate when there's big huge chunks. I like tomatoes but hate them chopped. Tofu's a big one- absorbs whatever flavor, but the texture literally made me vomit. No joke.
Thyme vinegar; submerge a good branch in white wine vinegar and let it stand for about a month. Ditto infused olive oil.
Thyme= Roasted Asparagus. Lots of it.
I use thyme in cajun food.
Soymilk!! I've got some that I should use up in the next couple days and I'm out of cereal.. Ideas? It's Silk Original, so it's still pretty vanilla-y.
I have 2 bunches of each of these: Parsley, dill, cilantro, thai basil.
suggestions?
anybody have any good use for a hefty hunk of fresh thyme? i suppose i could dry or freeze it, but it just seems like it's too bad not to use a fresh herb when i have it.
Hoppin John (make a huge batch and use the leftovers to make stuffed peppers w/ some sort of cheezy/crunchy topping), any Caribbean dish.

Uhh, ice cream? Smoothie. Bake cookies and dunk them shits in it.
