You are perfectly normal; you are not a nerd.

How do I know? I have the same cravings and get all excited when loading up with fresh vegs. Forget the beef; I wanna know "Where's the eggplant?"

I hit the grocery store last night. Right now I have cucumbers, zucchini squash, carrots, celery, red bell peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, oranges, apples, romaine lettuce, spinach, sugar snap peas, and green onions in my fridge.

"We don't need no stinkin' meat!" (No offense to the carnivores out there; I often indulge in red meat myself, but I get excited over, and hungry for, the vegetables.)

Now that's it's "spring," I just want to eat fresh, crunchy green things. When it's winter I want to eat fresh, crunch, stir-fried or broiled green things.

You are perfectly normal; you are not a nerd.

Yes Caroline she is a nerd! LOL

I am the same way about fresh veggies. I buy tons and then as I look in my cart at the grocery store wonder if I can eat them all before they start to wilt so I go on a veggie eating binge. My body loves me for it. I have terrible cravings for fresh salads made with all kinds of fixings. I would rather go out for a tart Fattuche or Arabic Salad than go eat a fast food hamburger any day.

Tofu - ummm you can have it all! Falaful too. LOL Anything made with beans or lentils except hummas does not enter my mouth. Texture thing ya know. LOL

Dances, want to go to El Mayer for lunch or dinner one day? You would love their food.

I enjoy veggies. I grilled Portabella mushrooms and cheese
during the week and ate it like you would a hamberger. Eggplant is another one of my favorites....cooked any which way.

Tonight for dinner I had grilled tempeh (never ever again. I have tried it three different ways now, each more vile than the last. At least I didn't pay for it this time, somebody gave it to me to try). And sauteed collards. The taste is nice, but they are tougher than an old shoe. I understand now why they are usually simmered for a long time, but this recipe had me saute them for only 10 minutes. Too tough to eat, so they will be added to a pot of barley soup.

My baked potato was good. And my salad is great. But the rest of the dinner? A complete zero. Oh well, it happens!

Yep, tempeh on its own is well, meh...
This time of year especially, I do love veggie shopping and eating - the other night we had grilled portabellos with fresh corn on the cob and asparagus - yum!
Although I have not eaten meat for many years, I never bought plain tofu much until the last year. These days I prep it (Rinse, drain, weight it, cut it) then marinate with a little fresh ginger, soy and garlic. I then pop it the oven for about 25-30 mins, flipping the pieces once. During the week, I throw a few pieces into my salads and sautes.

LOL
Yes.
You are a nerd.
But a darling nerd.
And honest.
Honest nerds are very very rare and are the most lovable and adorable nerds there are.

I love ya!
