Dining Out – Dawn Thai Steakhouse

Dawn Thai Steakhouse (Derby) has several options for vegan eating and we both like the place. We were informed that the soups are chicken broth based.

Pure Maple Syrup

We have 3 giant Maple trees in our yard that cause us nothing but grief and I’m paying nearly $10 for a itty bitty bottle of syrup.
If the trees put out as much syrup as they do leaves, helicopters, little red berry things and surface roots, I’d be a rich man.

My Kitchen Assistant

The eldest Grandson is spending the night. He helped me prepare veggie fajitas for supper along with home-made tortilla chips, brown rice, re-fried beans and guacamole.

It’s Guacamole, It’s Hummus, It’s…

It’s Guacamole, It’s Hummus, It’s… Guacamus.
Ok it really wasn’t for dinner but just a snack.

This recipe is easy to remember as it’s all 1s.

1 can chick peas
1 avocado
1 adult handful cilantro. Use a man’s hand if you really like cilantro.
1 garlic clove plus another 1
1 Tbsp olive oil 3 times
1 dash of sea salt
1 5 second increment of shaking red crushed pepper
Mix in food processor for the length of time it takes you to say “This Guacamus is going to taste absolutely awesome” 1 time. (This step may very depending on the speed of your processor and how fast you speak)
Serve with 1 bag Pita Chips.

Dining Out – El Jalisco

El Jalisco, Wichita, KS…This is a great little hole-in-the-wall/hidden gem of a Mexican restaurant. Since our diet change though I wasn’t sure what we’d get. After talking to the waitress we decided they would put together a bean & rice burrito. It is great!
