Off The Wagon

Well my trip out in the ocean for work definitely put me off of the wagon of the vegetarian train.. The meals were so delicious and each day different than the rest.  Ranging from duck to lamb, with chicken wings and steaks, etc.. It was impossible to resist.  I have gain weight even from eating more than usual.  Now that I am back, I definitely crave veggie food.  I have been quite good at eating tofu and lots and lots of veggies.  I feel my body needed it.

I don't know why but I had bought a piece of pork loin the other day.  After cooking it and eating it, I felt a bit disgusted.  All of a sudden, I wondered what human flesh would look like when cooked.  Based on internet forums and articles, apparently human flesh looks like and tastes like pork when cooked.  I feel like puking at this moment, thinking about it as pieces of pork are sitting in my stomach.  I really hate wasting food, but there's still half of that pork loin roast around.. I really need to make it into something that I can't taste the texture of the meat.  I guess it's a good sign that I'm getting disgusted, maybe this will help me cut that out of my diet.  But what about bacon?

First post for 2013

Wow, I've been really bad with posting on this blog.  It's well into 2013 and this is my first post.  A few things has changed since my last post.  I have a gym membership and I try to go at least 3 times a week.  I have been pretty good so far. As the weather is getting warmer, I am eating out more and more... It's hard to say no to a beer on a patio and then consequently to a restaurant meal.  I usually try to eat home as I eat healthier when I cook my meals.  There's something about paying $ for a salad.. Salads are just so easy to make and cost a fraction of what they charge at the restaurant.  I rarely eat salads at home, but when I do, I go all out... With roasted beets, goat cheese, etc.  So often restaurant salads don't event look appealing to me, unless it's a very upscale restaurant with creative ingredients. I have watched 2 documentaries on fasting.  One's "Eat, Fast and Live Longer" and the other "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead"...

Vegetarian Turkish Moussaka

I think to most people, "moussaka" is the Greek version of the lasagna but layered with eggplant and ground beef, potatoes and bechamel sauce.  I was one of those people too, until I visited Turkey.  I remember seeing moussaka on the menu and was sooo excited for it, until the waiter served it in front of me.  I thought.. "Hey, he messed up my order".  But nope, he didn't.  Turkish moussaka is a stir-fry.  It has eggplant in it as well but taste very different from the Greek moussaka.  Tonight I tried my own version of the vegetarian one,  replacing ground beef with tofu.  The taste of meat does add that little something to the dish, so I honestly have to say the vegetarian one is not as good.. but it's pretty good! Turkish Moussaka a la vegetarian! 1 medium eggplant cubed (I used Chinese eggplant sometimes) 1 green bell pepper cubed 1 medium onion cubed 2 cloves of garlic minced 4 Roma tomatoes from a canned tomato (I use one that has...

Crab and Lobsters

I haven't been a very good vegetarian lately, as it is lobster season here in Nova Scotia.. So I bought 2 lobsters and a crab the other night.  They were alive and I had to cook them.  I honestly felt terrible when I threw the crab in the boiling hot water.. I felt this sadness as the crab struggled to hold on to the side of the pot, not wanting to get into the pot.  I wonder if it knows.  I am pretty sure that I won't be cooking crab anytime soon, since I felt it was a pain too trying to get the meat out and the labour wasn't worth it, in my mind for the tiny bits of meat. As for the lobsters, they were really good, and some how I didn't feel as bad cooking them.  Maybe it's because they didn't fight/move as much when I put them in the pot.  But had a phone call with my mom yesterday and she tried to make me feel bad for "killing"/cooking the lobster.  (She's a vegetarian).  She told me to buy it already cooked if I really want to eat it that b...
