veggie kids



Since she has a job involving long stretches in front of a computer, and the skills to find such things, our friend parodie tipped us off to a spiffy cooking site: SOS Cuisine. Along with cheap public transit, easy-access legal parenting, public drug plans and good cheese -- this site is another cool thing from Quebec. It will select recipes for the whole week, generate a grocery list based on the number of people you expect to eat each meal, and let you know which stores in your neighbourhood have the ingredients on sale during the week (provided you live in quebec - for the moment).

And it lets you decide what your household does and does not eat, and tries to offer recipes accordingly. It's either an evil plot by the agro-food complex to further control what i eat, or it's a nifty service of public health to actually be helpful in reducing my frozen pizza consumption.

The only downside is that it currently says that less than 1% of users are "pesco-vegetarians who never eat fish or shellfish", and it therefore can't send only vegetarian recipes. (we got 2 fish meals this week).

So go check out the site, and tell them you're vegetarian too!

PS: check out the cute gingerbread mommies on LittleE's shirt! Another shameless plug - this time for Mad-Âme who make some super cute stuff for mommies and queerspawn!!

I went and signed up as a vegetarian. I'm not sure if Dave and I will be able to use it much, since we're basically doing once-a-week cooking these days, but I'm getting mighty sick of cooking 20 meals in two days and I'm looking for easy ways to just make dinner daily.

OTOH, they're not that cheap either. The amount they wanted us to spend on just dinner was about as much as we generally spend on groceries in a week total. But maybe our 20-25$ per person per weak is uncommongly low for groceries.

Ummm veggie food. I introduced Alex to real french onion soup with toast and cheese and stuff. It rocked with salad. I'm miss our old creative cooking sprees.

Cheers,
