confessions of a vegan foodie
I brought homemade french fries to work today and EVERYONE was jealous!
People started telling me that they want to be vegan if it means eating french fries for breakfast.
I found this interesting. How are people used to eating french fries? Only with burgers, or cooked in animal fat?
My french fries were mostly baked on a baking sheet with olive oil and sea salt (until my girlfriend got tired of cooking and threw the rest of the cut potatoes into a wok with olive oil. I liked the baked better- they taste like a baked potato.
Anyway, what further upset my co-workers was that I was eating the french fries sans mucho ketchup with chopsticks.
This confused everyone completely. I was even called: "exotic" at one point.
With Passover on the horizon, we ventured into Matzo ball soup conversation. It was suggested to me to make a polenta ball soup- matzo is stuck together with eggs.
I'd probably like polenta ball soup, my girlfriend would hate it, but what do I know, I'm just a goy!?!

i think the eggs are what make matzo balls light and fluffy (ideally). you could probably make matzo balls without eggs, but they might be dense and heavy. The soup is supposed to be chicken stock, so you'd have to substitute some kind of vegetable stock.
Dense, heavy matzo balls in vegetable stock.
Never mind.
