P.A.Bees- MMMMMM Jalapeno? Could that be the prize for the Virtual Scavenger Hunt, per chance? You are correct, I do love a lot of green veggies, however, I also love yellow squash, and orange carrots, and purple eggplant...I think that a plate should definitely have about as many colors as I utilize on my canvas, lest it be dull and boring and less satisfying to the senses. This is something I am continually working on Wifester with...

You take going GREEN to an all new level. You ate only green for a while thus saving the planet from ozone depletion as it grazed less gassing cows, the veggies you like are green, you were sick 'green' from eating bad petitte chous and I am envious green of the freshness in your pic! If I knew how to add a pic to this comment I would show you the jalapenos growing on my back porch - they may be hot but they will not make you sick. Come see them on my blog!

MMMMM - I love grilled zucchini! I big pink puffy heart love it that way. We'll get together and grill all sorts of veggies when Wifester and I are there!

Chatty, OOOOH! Spring rolls are ever so yummy! I will be emailing you for that recipe for sure. I'm like you with cook books, I can read through them like a novel. Usually, I find 5 or 6 different recipes for the same dish, then combine them all and come up with my own concoction, that's just my inner control freak taking over, I suppose

Another couple of weeks and it will be time for zucchinis that are two foot long in Ohio! Great clip, had to take the time to view it! We love them cut into slices or halved, misted with EVOO, and grilled to just the far side of not raw anymore.

I ADORE Thai food - the spices are killer - and all types of curry, too. I look forward to your version of Thai curry. I love that you have the same affection for spices that I do - and that you know how to combine them to such good effect. I think you would like the way I cook, too. I have tons of recipes - I just like looking at and trying yours, because every new recipe is a new adventure. I read cookbooks the way some people read novels...
I have had good luck with making Vietnamese spring rolls lately - nice when it's hot and you don't want to cook much. If you don't have a good recipe, and would like to try them, email me.

PS
OK - can't resist the "insert your own joke here" with reference to zucchini...you're too young to remember, but I'm guessing that if you were to go to you-tube and type in "Tim Curry" and "The Zucchini Song" that laughter would result.
I'm just sayin'...I really really REALLY heart Tim Curry!
UPDATE - just went away and did a search - couldn't find it at you tube, but did find it here. The video is bad quality, but stick with it - as a favor to me ; ) - and the quality improves mid-song.
Sheesh, girl - the things Tim and I go through to give you and Wifester a laugh... ;-)

Oh, I heart zucchini, too! This looks wonderful! The only thing I need now is your recipe for eggplant spaghetti, because I think I may heart eggplant even more than zucchini, if that's possible... This recipe is definitely a keeper, and now I don't feel bad about making a ton of "chicken" patties that The Wiz won't eat. If they freeze well, it can be my "go-to" meal when I'm making a completely different dinner for him. Thanks!

Thanks Chatty! I will keep you posted with more recipes! I love vegetarian cooking, and I love using spices. I once dated a chef (prior to meeting Wifester) and learned a lot about cooking from her...I think I have a darned good pallet, if I do say so myself! Wait till you try my thai curry veggies! I'll post that one soon!

OK. This one sounds like a keeper, too. More vegetarian recipes, please! I trust your taste buds - because it's apparent that you know how to SEASON things properly (unlike many of the vegetarian cookbooks I bought and was disappointed by! Can you say "bland" and "boring"?) Recipes kitchen-tested by someone I trust is a definite plus!
