You can make it more subtantial and it would still be good.<br /><br />I agree Alton Brown is goofy but he does a great job of explaining complicated ideas and making them easy to comprehend. Dan enjoys the show more than I do. I think it is a guy thing. ;-)<br /><br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-9135536514795320182010-10-21T21:56:03.265-04:002010-10-21T21:56:03.265-04:00ali...thanks for the rundown on zinc. as i type i...ali...thanks for the rundown on zinc. as i type i'm bedridden with a bad cold. i thought being vegan would give me cold and flu superpowers! but i guess sleep is still necessary to good health, huh?stephanieleahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427676919832135865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-71696655602491034502010-10-21T16:22:18.191-04:002010-10-21T16:22:18.191-04:00I like the corn and mushroom in the soup - the thi...I like the corn and mushroom in the soup - the thin tomato broth sounds wonderful. <br /><br />Also just catching up on yesterday's post - I like Alton Brown, he really does know what he is talking about.

Neither Dan nor I have had a cold in the last 18 months which I attribute to our nutrition.<br /><br />I also read somewhere that juice is better absorbed on an empty stomach but intuitively I don't know that it makes sense based on how the stomach works. However it can't hurt so why not.<br /><br />hope you are having a good Thursday,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-78336762105456413412010-10-21T14:44:19.738-04:002010-10-21T14:44:19.738-04:00Thanks for the zinc info.

I was just thinking this morning that I need to start preparing for the winter season as far as nutrition goes.<br />Thanks for the tip about keeping the weight on also. I definitely can not afford to loose any more. I just need to find the time to juice during the week. I read where you should consume the fresh vegetable juices on an empty stomach. I guess I could get up 30 minutes earlier in the mornings...yep, that would probably be a good idea! As always, I love reading your blog. I always get such great info from it!Just Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168344604438522030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-64249287277300850152010-10-21T12:12:01.371-04:002010-10-21T12:12:01.371-04:00Neca,
Thanks for the clarification that Wellness ...Neca,<br /><br />Thanks for the clarification that Wellness is a brand. I assumed it was a recipe name from the book. I will check to see if Wegman's carries the feline version.<br /><br />I actually went so far as to buy a veterinary textbook on small animal nutrition after the Chinese food scare. A light read only 4,000+ pages. I came away thinking it was much harder to formulate animal food than people food. ;-) Somehow I bet that little story doesn't surprise you about me.

Given your issues with Maddie I know you understand. ;-)<br /><br />You could easily make this Mexican which would also be great. I thought about that last night but since we had the black beans in the frig I opted to stay closer to my original version.<br /><br />I didn't like smoky foods when I was younger either. It is interesting how much our taste buds change as we get older.<br /><br />talk to you later,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-60495718904186663882010-10-21T09:30:12.261-04:002010-10-21T09:30:12.261-04:00Good Morning Neca,

Good thing I have known the vet longer than Dan so he puts up with me.<br /><br />Since cats can't be vegan for health reasons and Binky has had cystitis I didn't have many options. We buy a prescription only product from the vet which I combine with Organix brand dry kibble for flavor and variety.<br /><br />I never heard of the Whole Dog Journal do you know if there is a cat equivalent version? I used to cook for our last group of cats but these three seem to prefer dry food. I would be very open to changing the Organix portion of their dry kibble.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing this up I am always thinking of ways to keep the furries healthy. :-)<br /><br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-27915404936906952042010-10-21T09:22:39.818-04:002010-10-21T09:22:39.818-04:00Aimee,

I don't recall loving that fragrance so much when I was young, but I notice it so easily now.

Totally off the wall question, but I was curious: What do you feed your cats? <br /><br />After the big "chinese pet food scare" several years ago, I subscribed to "Whole Dog Journal" to get a good idea of what pet foos were good. In general, I use Wellness kibble and make their "wet" food (we have 4 dogs - cooking for them is cost effective!). <br /><br />I know you view your pets as we do ours: our furry kids. Anyhow, hope you have a great day!necahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979071284874862384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-71293724991764495332010-10-20T23:30:30.828-04:002010-10-20T23:30:30.828-04:00Hi Ali,
