Since it’s the first of the month, I’ve put up a new Hot Flash. Click here to read it. Scroll down that page for previous ones.

This is also food day at the blog, so Imma post a recipe or something like one. There are two things I find it hard to do without now that we’re meatless at home: tuna salad and hot chicken salad. We could use tofu, but now I’m told unfermented soy is worse for you than a lump of dry poison. We could use seitan, but not only is it not the same, we have friends with severe wheat allergies.

So yesterday, I bought some yellow squash and Imma try using that. I think I’ll peel and cube some and marinate it in Not Chickn bouillon, then roast it and make the chicken salad with it. I’m told that mashed (but not mushed) chickpeas make a nice tuna-less salad, and that kelp granules will add that touch of fish taste. No got kelp granules, but I know where I can buy some — YES, IN CORYDON.

For some actual recipes, check out my Recipes tab. You could also do a search of the site for recipe and recipes and the Food category.
