Help

We've had a lot of meat dinners this week, and, frankly, we're tired of it. So, I need meal ideas for tonight.

Parameters: Dairy or vegan. Must *not* need rice because we've had rice every night since Thursday (Veggie curry, side dish for chicken, veggie curry, side dish at wedding, chili, chili.) Should be with fresh ingredients I can purchase on the way home and cook fast. Low fat is good. Low salt is better. I do want protein. Anyone have any good ideas with yogurt for a main course? Also, no fish because I'm making that on Thursday.

I can get a fair amount of Asian style sauces/ingredients in my local stores.

ETA: I knew I could count on you. If I were Catholic, I'd have the Lent thing covered. As it is - we're going to have an amazing Nine Days. And I'm saving this post in Memories.

Fresh broccoli is in season this time of year. It's good steamed. Soak it in cold water for ten minutes, trim the stems how you like them and cut slashes in the thicker ones. Steam for twelve minutes.

I thought vegan meant you couldn't eat dairy or eggs. *is confused* But since it looks like dairy is okay... cucumber sandwiches on rye bread with soft cream cheese.

I was just being lazy and not using the word "pareve", which means "not meat or dairy", but does include eggs and fish, except I didn't want fish because I'm cooking fish tomorrow.

And I *love* freshly steamed broccoli, although I've been microwaving it, too.

And she did sayd "Dairy or vegan". Read, people. Vegan ~=~ pareve, absent a few nits about grape products.

Which goldennotblonde did notice. So she can read.

I thought that grape products had to be hechshered, but were otherwise pareve?

Pretty much. I'm not sure what he's saying here.
