@Nic carbon offsetting hahaha

@skippy619 omg that really sucks, sorry to hear

I survived! and made myself a tempeh feast tonight to make up for it :)

@skippy619 yum, awesome

@Malavika I haven't done a thing!

sent some tea and sweets to my family only

I'll try to think about decorations

need to make some treats for people

I bought an oven so I can make gingerbread biscuits

pomegranate and citrus is a good combination and seasonal for us here I think. I could try that

they put tempeh when they meant tempering

it's almost impossible to get fresh curry leaves in the UK

Hello

Zanna has a hat

I knew it would happen

alas only one

I missed the start of hat season :(

@Malavika to what?

bleh, trying not to think about it but I need to get stuff sorted I suppose. I'll just try to blitz it all in one go I think.

interesting q ^

it essentially was a sort of epic buddha bowl concoction

I couldn't say whether it was really complete or not.

yeah ... I'm not a fan of the soylent movement, but that's essentially their goal

ditto

used to have Huel for lunch for a while, same diff

the hard part is trying to incorporate seaweed and ground flax :D

stuff that just doesn't go with every kind of meal

that is true!

I think this is actually spam

I don't think it's literally spam but I think the person who answered is a mentalist.

@Zanna Yes that might be spam; I added my vote to delete.

@skippy619 Ah, I had already written my answer about Soylent before coming here to see your comment about Soylent. Clearly we made the same associations with that question. :)

I was at an Italian restaurant last night for a holiday party. They were happy and helpful to accommodate me with a vegan option -- a house salad, followed by spaghetti noodles with pomodoro (tomato) sauce for the main. It was a simple dish, though quite satisfactory to me. And I felt fine at the end of the evening, compared to my peers who moaned about being over-full after stuffing themselves with too-rich food. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@Malavika My Christmas preparations have mostly been installing "smart" bulbs and switches to make the house light up in a festive way when my sweetie arrives home. :)
