RE: Meatless Jambalaya - Who needs the flesh?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I realized once I tasted it I definitely have had it before. And definitely with meat. I can’t remember it clearly, but Im fairly confident I like this version better.
I wish I could give you some, i have too much to handle and I thought my room mate and his partner were going to help me out like they said they would, but as soon as I cleaned up my dishes they started making pizzas... so now I have to handle as much as possible of this myself...
And yeah, tempeh. I have to admit I don’t cook it often. I’ve always enjoyed the ways I’ve prepared it but I’m learning through hive that these are NOT the ways to prepare or use it haha. I’ll probably continue my methods but it won’t be in any more posted recipes 😂 I’ve said before I thought I had a weird taste and I was the only one who liked my cooking- then hive proved me wrong- but now I’m starting to think I’m right as no one can actually taste the food I make here 😂😂 maybe it’s the bitterness I like or something, I’m not sure
Thanks for your kind words as always :) are you going to enter this week? I’m looking forward to seeing some real cooking!!
Hey you can prepare your tempeh any way you want. I was just saying that I have had bitter tempeh so now I'm afraid of it. I may give it a try your way again.
Your room mate should have just wanted to dive into that goodness. I think you should freeze it and keep it for when you don't have time to cook. That's what I do. I'm too lazy sometimes then I remember something in the freezer and I'm so relieved. What I eat when I post and what I eat when I don't, are two different things.
Hahaha but that's exactly what I mean about the tempeh. I'm not only referring to your comment, it seems as though my tempeh method may have given me a lot of negative points in this challenge haha. But, hey! It's lesson learning.
My room mate's one of those people who hears the word vegan/vegetarian and turns away. Not turns away, but his girlfriend is vegan, and he'll come home all of the time bragging to me about some sort of epiphany. Like, "yo so Katie made this meatless ____ and it was actually, no kidding, really good! It's incredible to think about eating a meal without meat but I did it and" bla bla bla. It's like yeah man... you're talking to a vegetarian. I'm pretty aware it's "possible" hahahhaa
He's not super bright. Nice guy. But, there are a lot of interactions like this. He speaks one on one as if the other person must be on the same page about everything.. even if he knows they aren't. I'd almost say "bigoted" but he's really not at all... just... idk. He's not all there, upstairs.
I'm gonna freeze some. I came to the realization I don't really know how to freeze jambalaya in the best preservation way; in terms of container. My first thought was plastic bag but all mine are flimsy. I'll figure it out today, once this week long rain storm starts.
Haha really don't stop to cook tempeh for a post. It's not wrong to do it your way. In fact many people do especially when you have a saucy recipe like yours. I just wouldn't grill it without boiling first. I get a little creeped out by it that way but I love tempeh and it's not a point losing factor to cook it straight up.
I collect plastic containers that had things in it. I wash them and use those instead of buying tupperware.
You room mate surprises me with a vegan girlfriend and they made pizza when they could have had your food. Some people. I know people like that.
I also collect plasticware; I guess I am overthinking this freezing process. Freezing food is new to me. Really in the past I've only frozen soups so in my head I feel like you need a different type of container for more "dry" foods... but as I'm typing this I'm realizing how stupid that is and that I can just put it in plastic 😂
Well, I told him they should have some hours before she arrived. I think he never told her I had offered because he didn't want to try jambalaya without meat. She actually looked rather disappointed when she showed up and I told her the offer was on the table, but she also had about $30 worth of groceries to make pizzas with so she stuck with their plan. AKA he definitely didn't tell her.
I shit you not, before he started dating her the only things in the kitchen of his were canned soups(the ones with the big bold letters that say MEATY or XXXTRA on them), frozen pizzas, frozen burritos, craft beers, and deli meat and cheese. Occasionally bagels and cream cheese. A frat diet, as a 26 year old accountant that works from home. I'll never understand lol
Uggg those people haha.
