We have recently tried a few of the Quorn products. You might have heard of it, meat substitute products that are made from a kind of fungus (they call it a mushroom). Regardless of what it’s made of, it’s awesome.

This time we had the Turk’y roast. It’s an odd tube of creamy tan stuff. Hmmm sounds so appetizing, but it’s really good. I made some yuca/cassava (first time), Brussel sprouts, and roasted butternut squash to go with it, and some saucey stuff with onions and red peppers. I was impressed.

I also picked a few herbs from the garden and tossed them on my plate. Along with the tiniest carrot I have ever seen. My patience for gardening isn’t fully developed so when I think to myself, “hmm wonder if there really is a carrot under that dirt.” I have to find out for myself and pull the poor little thing out. I don’t think I’ll go for the green tomatoes, yet.

All and all it was a surprising and delicous dinner that, yet again, opened my eyes to something new and helps get rid of this boredom I have had lately with the same old same old food in my little circle of life.
