This quick search of you tube showed a lot of hit, some were legit, and some were spoofs, but some were clearly just people being jerks

A great summer recipie. Enjoy it in the warm weather.

Basic Gazpacho

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1/2 cucumber, cut into chunks
4 ripe medium tomatoes (I use Roma tomatoes)
1/2 bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into chunks
1/4 yellow onion, cut into chunks
1 clove garlic, chopped
3 tablespoon wine vinegar
pinch of oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

At this time of the year, few things are more refreshing than a big bowl of cold Gazpacho, a cold soup originally from Spain. Easy to prepare and highly recommended for lunch or dinner.

Put everything in a blender, and puree. Refrigerate 15 minutes, or until cold. Variations include substituting yellow tomatoes, red bell peppers, or balsamic vinegar, or adding a few sprigs of fresh basil.

Makes 1 serving.

Here is another cool vegan recipie.

Kick-Booty Eggplant & Zucchini Bake

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

4-6 smallish (under 8”) eggplant (any variety) or zucchini; I used a combo of both
1 cup millet, toasted
2 cup veggie broth (I use bullion)
6-8 oz beer (or more broth; wine would work well, too)
1/3 cup almond or peanut butter
6-10 cloves garlic, minced
2-5 tablespoon Braggs Liquid Aminos or soy sauce, to taste (careful if your broth already
has salt)
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
(I used these veggies, but a huge variety of combos would be good, use what you have the
most of )
1 small red onion
1 pound mushrooms
2 cups chopped cabbage
1 red bell pepper, 2 more zucchini

Directions:

This is good even if you hate eggplant and zucchini. I make this when the zucchini and eggplant crop gets out of hand.

Cut the tops and halve the zucchini and eggplant. Place flesh side up in a lightly oiled 9x9 pan. Lightly salt.

Turn oven to 350° (no need to wait for it to warm, just put the pan in).

In a pot, toast the millet (allow to brown without water or oil over high heat till smells toasted, careful with burning). Add 2 cups broth; watch for sputtering. Cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes.

Chop all of the remaining veggies and sauté together till mostly done (I always do my onions first, but I’m picky about my onions).

When millet is almost done, add beer, nut butter, and garlic. Stir well. Remove from heat; add Bragg’s and nutritional yeast. Warning to pre-tasters: This concoction has A LOT of flavor; it will be thinned out with the veggies.

Mix millet sauce with sautéed veggies.

Remove the eggplant/zucchini from oven and top with millet and veggie mixture.

Bake for another 10-20 minutes, till bubbly around edges. Top with sunflower seeds, if you like.

Hey All 

Stopped by the local food town today. When I was walking down the shampoo isle, I saw a lobster tank. I was upset, and I went to the front to complain, they told me that every store in the chain sells them. 

So in the AM I will call the store manager and e-mail the head offices to register a complaint.

Reasons why these tanks are horrible 
- They are small
- They are overcrowded
- There is little to no concern for the lobster
- They are in a holding tank waiting to be taken home and die
- Lobsters are cooked by tossing them in to boiling water- ALIVE
