The ultimate minority is the individual. Protect the individual from Democracy and you will protect all groups of individualsRightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. - Thomas JeffersonI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

I've been eating too much meat lately, here are a couple of simple ideas:
Apple and Peanut Butter
Brown Rice and fresh veggies
No one here wanted to be the Billionaire.
FJB
Beans and Rice, you can make those home made but Zatarain's is pretty good and cheap. Pinto beans are also damn good but those can take 3 hours to make if you use quick soak method.
I made this many times and it turned out great.

hahaha, just drive down to luling, order up a pound of brisket, pound of ribs, and five or six links.
(prep. time, 20 min.)
That'll cure ya. You'll be ready to bathe in veggies when you get back home.

1/2 cup cabbage chopped per serving
tsp olive oil per serving
teaspoon of lemon juice per serving
dill leave to taste
1/2tsp prepared mustard per serving.
salt and pepper to taste
tsp mayo per serving(optional)
stir all ingredients until well coated.
1 can sweet potatoes
1 hot pepper (whichever you prefer)
1 onion (vidalia)
1 dash habanero sauce
1 package flour tortilla shells
Dice and saute onion and put in bowl. Add sweet potatoes, diced pepper and dash of sauce. Mash up nicely until smooth.
Smooth mash onto tortillas and roll up. Fry them in a pan until crispy.
Other ingredients can be added as well. Oven roasted corn goes well in this roll-up also.
Kotin, even my husband raves about this all veggie soup, and he is the type that insists a meal is not a meal without meat!
Enjoy!

Jack's Cream of Mushroom soup.
1 lb Mushrooms (Chantrelles are the preferred variety)
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 stick butter
1 TBSP salt
1 clove fresh garlic
1 small onion
Sautee chopped mushrooms, chopped onion, and pressed garlic in butter.
When mushrooms are cooked down to appx 1/2 their original size, add cream and salt.
Simmer for 15 minutes stirring occassionally to avoid a skin.
Season to taste with your favorite herbs and spices.
Can be used as a gravy (thicken with flour) great on mashed potatoes.
Can be used as a soup (Thin with milk or water) great for dipping grilled cheese sandwiches.
Can be used as the "Cream of Mushroom" ingredient in all those recipes which call for a can of Campbells cream of mushroom.
I invented this recipe because I wanted a way to make all those simple recipes without being a slave to store-bought cans. We have a lot of wild Chantrelles in my area so that is what I used. Last year was a bumper crop of Chantrelles and I picked over 100lbs of mushrooms last year while deer hunting. I canned this soup recipe in 1/2 pint canning jars and used them just like I would a can of campbells for the whole year. The mushroom crop wasn't quite so good this year, but we still made about 3 gallons of soup.

Home made vegetable soup.
Start with the longest to cook and keep adding stuff till the pot is full.
Add a little salt.
Eat for days.
I like hamburger in it though.

Eggplant Ratatouille (I usually eat it with some jasmine rice.. the tomatoes and eggplant have been coming straight from my garden, and I usually add a jalapeno from my garden in with the peppers)
Ingredients:
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
* 1 large onion, quartered and thinly sliced
* 1 small eggplant, cubed
* 2 green bell peppers, coarsely chopped
* 4 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped, or 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes
* 3 to 4 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
* 1 teaspoon dried leaf basil
* 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf oregano
* 1/4 teaspoon dried leaf thyme

Preparation:
In a 4-quart Dutch oven or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add eggplant; stir until coated with oil. Add peppers; stir to combine. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep vegetables from sticking.
Add tomatoes, zucchini, and herbs; mix well. Cover and cook over low heat about 15 minutes, or until eggplant is tender but not too soft.

Thai Green Curry (this is my favorite food in the entire world...also eaten with jasmine rice)
Get some thai green curry paste and follow the recipe that comes with it, for the most part. You'll also need canned coconut milk, sugar (white or brown), onion, garlic, bell peppers, tofu (or eggplant or squash, etc.) and LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF AROMATIC, FRESH BASIL!!
Start by frying up the curry paste and minced garlic (there's garlic in the curry paste, but I like to add a little extra), then add the coconut milk and stir. Add the veggies and tofu (chopped into large pieces), cook for 5 minutes or so. Mince the basil, add that in, then add sugar and salt to taste.
Until you get used to using a particular curry paste, it's really easy to make it too strong (read: spicy) or not strong enough (read: not spicy enough).. so have some extra coconut milk on hand in case you make it too spicy, you can then make a bigger portion, add more veggies and save the left-overs. If it's not spicy enough, then just fry a little up in a pan on the side and add it into the curry.

Indian Lentils (eaten with Basmati rice if possible, also naan or roti bread)
You can use any kind of lentil, red, green, black, yellow, etc..
You can optionally add vegetables, garbonzo beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, cream, butter, whatever..
First you're going to follow the recipe for the lentils, because different lentils require different cooking times. After the lentils have softened up, in another pan add some peanut, olive or sesame oil and fry up some garlic, onion, ginger etc, and add some spices. The easiest way to spice this is to get some garam masala, it's a mix of indian spices (common ingredients are black & white peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, long pepper (also known as pippali), black cumin (known as shahi jeera), cumin seeds, cinnamon; black, brown, & green cardamom, nutmeg, star anise and coriander seeds. Varying combinations of these and other spices are used in regional variants of garam masala,[1] none of which is considered more authentic than another. -wiki)
Cook 'em up and throw them into your lentils, salt and add more spice and ginger to taste. You can add lemon juice as well. Cook for another 10 minutes or so and that's it.

Cooking up veggies to eat is pretty cheap.
