This soup should help.

Today I'm happy I've made it over a year meatless - I'm happy and despite I shouldn't say it a bit proud - It hasn't been tough but it also has been a bit rough around the edges for me considering I'm the only one I know who has chosen this route.
My family doesn't eat unhealthy, but when I see them get raw meat it disgusts me, but I cannot blame others for their choices or I'd be asking for it in all reality. |
Congratulations!!! It gets easier and easier the longer you go, it's like second nature for me now.

I work as a medical coder and one of my primary duties is coding chemotherapy and nonchemo infusion charges. I code for several different sites in our system where infusions are done. Every month the chemo pharmacy staff audits my charges/coding and at month end they send me an email with any errors or concerns etc. This last month, for the first time since I started coding professionally 14 months ago, I had ZERO errors for all my Duluth site infusion charges/coding for a whole month! Woot woot!!! I code about 250 infusion charges per day so this is a very big deal. It really gave me a boost of self confidence which has been sorely lacking lately.

That's fantastic, NB!! Yes! Be proud!! You damn well should be! Now I feel like a real f*ckhole about my stupid couscous balls. **sigh** Me & my silly, crunchy balls, I tells ya....

Prepping my balls.... Cooked couscous (precooked with sauteed garlic, onion, red bell pepper, baby spinach, & grated carrot).... once cooled, I stirred in one egg & four types of organic veggie-friendly cheese -- meaning only with vegetarian or microbial enzymes.... chilled overnight, rolled into balls, ready to dredge in flour, egg, Panko, then hit the deep fryer at 350*

You sure? It's not vegan.... has egg & cheese.
![]() ![]() And I rarely use recipes.... Sometimes I'll check a few, decide which methods for this & that would best for me, and just wing it from there. But this is what I posted as my 2nd to latest Member Gallery pic caption: The "dough" should be very dense & sticky (like an ex-boyfriend of mine, wakka-wakka. ![]() |

That sounds delicious! I'm sure a starch used for egg, and vegan cheese (which I have loads of right now ![]() Makes me remember arancini - like that but with rice- an Italian kind of thing i think. Just noticed the cream cheese. Silken tofu would work good for that and help with the starch |
Wellll, I do have a way with words from time to time.... I'll give it a shot at the next poetry slam.
![]() Yeah, it's just a different take on, say, fried risotto balls.... ![]() |
Just curious, how did you come to meet this person? (note if it is none of my business don't answer lol).

Your recipe sounds interesting, but a little rich for me even if I substituted vegan ingredients. I'm not a huge fan of any kind of cheese, including vegan, but I could see making a cashew or almond cream and adding something like that. Or the tofu idea too. I could even add in some white bean mash, but that might make it a bit too heavy. I would probably bake it too, not deep fry. Definitely a recipe I will play around with in my head for a while.

Today I'm happy that I'm improving (I'm in the hospital) fairly quickly.
I'm happy the hospital has a vegetarian menu, and that the cook knows me from last time I was here. I'm happy that my health for the most part seems to be good - I asked them to specifically check my cholesterol since they were doing blood tests, and it's astoundingly good! I mean my lifestyle changes in my eating habits have really shown - I have a father whose family history is riddled with heart disease, but none for me, and a mother whose family has all had issues (most of her siblings specifically) with diabetes and I have had no issues with that either. I'm also happy to be well nourished and provided for ![]() |
