More hugs, Ruchie!       01/04/06 11:51 AM Edit Reply Quote Wind Reged: 04/02/05 Posts: 3178 I send hugs! I have a few ideas re: how to jazz up your food without vinegar/lemons. I use these alot, too. SOUPS!--splash organic broth or a funky Imagine soup on top of lettuce leaves/foods. (Veg. or Chicken stock is a great vinegar-free tuna flavour enhancer that I've used tons of times in the past!) Mix in whatever herbs you tolerate or leave it plain. Ultra fast, too. (eek, too healthy?) How about a portabella or shiitake mushroom dressing/sauce? Maybe something with roasted beets or borscht (beet soup)? (Actually I've done the beet one!) Cucumber juice really rocks. Oh man, now I've got a weird craving/thirst! A corn soup dressing? Butternut squash soup dressing? Potato leek sauce/dressing? GO NUTS!!! VEG. JUICES--Carrot juice is a fabulous sauce/dressing. Explore other juices/combos. Can you handle a splash of organic apple juice here & there? Wouldn't pom. juice be a funky condiment? Mango/pear? Wild blueberry? (Actually wild blueberry/apple/beet is really really really yummy & interesting!) A lot of cultures cook in tea, cook with tea. Hey, if you can drink it...uh, is booze okay? I love using pureed veggies as condiments! Seriously. All the time! I guess this is sort of along the line with the soup idea, but much more interesting. Probably cheaper too. Also, it gives you creative CONTROL!!! Nice, thick, yummy, creamy without a milk alternative...In the past, I've even used pureed veggies as salad/lettuce "dressings." SERIOUSLY. I have ultra-low mainstream market "product" tolerance. Hey, I eat organic mustard because it's the only kind my tummy can handle tiny doses of! Anyways, those are a few post lunch notes I thought I'd "flash" you with, besides a MONSTER HUG. (Actually, I need a huge one too. Getting balder & balder each day due to alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that nothing much can be done to help & because I'm skinny & pale...I'm already starting to get looks/comments from people who misunderstand it as cancer, when it's hardly fatal just a kind of quirk of nature I lucked out with! Eeek. I wish I knew why my immune system launched this attack. Anyways, no more "poor me" about it. I just can't pretend to deny it for much longer.) So, HUGS & total understanding. Kate.
