  1. Mulching helps in maintaining moisture with then soil and the more time they cover soil,they rote and create humas that adds fertility to the soil.
    And that is why our cabbages can be healthy like this,inspite of the hot climatic conditions that we have been facing these days.
    However, the dry grass materials are the best for use.

  2. Today's next recipe is a simple Mushroom, Potato & Aubergine curry, using bought paste with a few extra ingredients to perk it up. Very tasty!

  3. This veggie shepherd's pie was one of the first recipes I shared on my blog 19 years ago. I've been making this one for decades and it's still my husband's favourite.

  4. It’s what’s for dinner

    Rojie asks:

    Do you prefer chicken, beef, or seafood? Or are you vegan or vegetarian?

    A question and a bonus question!

    I prefer chicken, beef, and seafood, but only in their living form, not on a dinner plate.

    And at this point I’m neither a vegetarian nor a vegan.

    Vegetarianism stopped making sense to me a long time ago when I learned about lacto-vegetarians, ovo-vegetarians, and lacto-ovo vegetarians. To me, in my dull black and white world, you either ate animals or you didn’t. And not eating animals meant no milk, no cheese, no eggs.  But that’s just me.

    Veganism was good, the rules were pretty clear cut, but it was just a label for me that meant I didn’t eat any animals, including milk, eggs, cheese. Or fish (sorry pescatarians). But I became put off by people who made it a political statement and who shamed other people for their personal diet choices. Shaming – without giving exact examples so I don’t inadvertently shame anyone – by using certain words, or body language, or images. Maybe it’s my dull black and white world again, but I don’t buy into the moral superiority of one way being the only way, and I don’t see any good coming from any form of shaming others, even if one thinks their cause is just.

    Having said all that, I still won’t buy products tested on animals and I still don’t think humans are superior to animals, or any other creature sharing the planet, and I still think it would be a good idea for grocery stores to put small 10-inch color monitors above their meat cases, spaced maybe every five feet or so, and run loops of animals at the slaughterhouse. Meet your meat, you know? There’s nothing wrong with being a wise consumer.

    So what’s my answer to the second question?

    I don’t really have a label. If my diet is anything, it’s Whole Food Plant Based. That’s a broad term and it pretty much explains everything. And I’m not focused on 100% compliance or perfection as much as I used to be. I’m more interested in the nutrition and nutritional science in food so maybe I’m a nutritionarian?

    I like to try and follow as best I can this advice:

    Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants – Michael Pollan

  14. Mmmmm Fresh Veggies

    Joelle and I went to the local farmer's market yesterday over at the railyards. Got a bunch of produce and a loaf of organic sourdough. Today for lunch, I made a grilled tofu and veggie sandwich on an everything bagel with vegan cream cheese (made of beans) and sriracha. It had beansprouts, arugula (and various other salad greens) and fresh organic tricolor cherry tomatoes. When I first moved in with Joelle, she was an "egg sandwich with cheese every morning" kind of girl. I was a vegan. […]

  17. Another #StupidHeadline today, this time from the Daily Fail:

    "Want to live to 100? Don't turn #vegetarian: Meat eaters are more likely to hit the milestone":
    msn.com/en-gb/food-and-drink/g

    If you read TFA:

    - "Among the individual food groups, daily consumption of vegetables had the biggest impact on the chances of living to 100."
    - "Those who ate vegetables every day were over 84 per cent more likely to live to 100 than those who didn't."

    and:

    "Vegetarians with a healthy BMI for their age were no less likely to make it to 100 than meat eaters."

    "However, daily consumption of meat was associated with a 44 per cent higher likelihood of reaching 100 years old for those in the underweight group."

    So basically, if you're underweight (malnourished?) and old, keep eating meat until you return to a healthy #BMI, everyone else is fine 🤷

  18. Jackfruit Seed Dal (Kathaler Bichir Dal)

    Jackfruit seed dal is one of those recipes that says a lot about how Bengali kitchens have always worked – nothing goes to waste if you can help it. Long before ‘zero-waste cooking’ became a hashtag, this was just how things were done. The soft, ripe bulbs of the jackfruit got eaten fresh or made into something sweet, while unripe jackfruit was turned into a vegetable dish, the leaves were used as plates or for steaming and the smooth, glossy seeds, kathaler bichi, as they’re called, would be dried out, peeled, and cooked down into curries, dals, ghontos, whatever the day called for. This is really a rural Bengal dish at heart, tied to summer, when jackfruit trees would just be loaded with fruit, much more than any one family could eat fresh. So people dried the seeds in the sun and kept them around for weeks, sometimes months- a steady source of protein and starch sitting in storage long after the season had passed.

    There’s a harder history here too. During the 1943 Bengal famine, and other lean years before and after, people leaned on whatever they could find close to home. Jackfruit seeds weren’t ever the famine food -nothing that specific -but they helped. They came from a tree in the backyard, cost nothing, and could be added to a pot of dal or rice to make a meal go further for a big family. And because dried seeds kept so well, they were there exactly when you needed them most.

    The dal itself uses just a few ingredients-mustard oil, a few whole spices, some ginger -enough to let the seeds do the talking. You get this creamy, nutty quality once cooked that honestly needs very little dressing up @sarchakra 

    PREP TIME: 20 mins 

    COOK TIME: 25 mins 

    SERVES: 6 

    Ingredients

    • Jackfruit seeds (about 20 whole jackfruit seeds, cleaned and prepared)
    • Mustard oil 2 tbsp
    • Dried red chili 1, broken
    • Mustard seeds 1 tsp
    • Whole cumin seeds 1 tsp
    • Bay leaf 1
    • Ginger paste 2 tsp
    • Salt, to taste
    • Water, as needed

    Method

    • Wash the jackfruit seeds thoroughly and dry them completely.
    • Cut each seed in half and remove the thin white membrane covering the inside.
    • Place the seeds in a pressure cooker with enough water to cover them. Pressure cook for 3 whistles. Allow the pressure to release naturally.
    • Once cool enough to handle, lightly mash each seed with a potato masher and peel away the brown outer skin. Set the peeled seeds with the liquid aside.
    • Heat the mustard oil in a pan until it reaches its smoking point, then lower the heat slightly.
    • Add the broken dried red chili, mustard seeds, whole cumin seeds, and bay leaf. Let the spices splutter until fragrant.
    • Add the cooked jackfruit seeds along with the cooking liquid (or enough water to achieve your preferred consistency). Bring the dal to a gentle boil.
    • Stir in the ginger paste and salt. If the dal is too thick, add a little more water.
    • Simmer for another 2 to 3 mins so the ginger loses its raw taste and the flavors meld together.
    • Serve hot with steamed rice and a drizzle of mustard oil, if you like.

    Notes

    Once cooked, the seeds becomes creamy and buttery, somewhere between chestnuts and potatoes in texture.

    Remember to peel the cooked seeds- it gives the dal a smoother texture.

    Mustard oil adds the characteristic Bengali flavor, but you can substitute with neutral oil.

    The dal will thicken as it sits, so loosen it with a splash of hot water before serving if needed.

    Serve this with steamed rice, a squeeze of lime or a simple vegetable side.

    #gyros!

    Except not. I'm going to start with #falafel and #tzatziki as a side to like...BLTs or something. I don't need 3.5 new recipes in one afternoon. (I need falafel for the one #vegetarian in the house)

    A surprising number of gyro #recipes make essentially meatloaf with ground beef and lamb or pork, then cook and slice the loaf and fry it. It looks....meh. I want the meat to be tender because it was cooked well (#sousvide?).
