Getting to Know You: Fruits and Veggies

Those of you who keep up with this blog know that I have recently become a vegetarian. I have opened my eyes to so many new fruits, vegetables and other new things I have never tried before. Steven got my this great book for my birthday with 150 Quick-Fix Vegetarian recipes and I love cooking with it!

This is what I have learned in the past few weeks.

1. Tahini is a sesame paste used in a lot of vegetarian recipes, especially those with "asian" flavors.

2. Tamari is another vegetarian staple, a sort of soy sauce used in many dressings.

3. Tempeh (this soy grain stuff) can be poached. Unbelieveable.

4. I love Whole Foods, especially the produce section.

5. I learned how to pick & cut a pineapple. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJJ-iQkbRNE
