I have a standard base. Beans. Then I can add seaweed salad or potatoes or tofu or rice or asparagus, or any number of anything else that has not been smeared on dead animal. Mushrooms are a big deal for me. I also have fake meats from time to time. But about fake meats…people don’t fake other bad things…we have trampolines not fake falling. Nobody would fake smashing your face on the floor after a bad fall. So why call them fake meats? I rather start calling them like the drug industry calls drugs…Lobasta! Pizzasata! Musherk? “I’m cooking a mean musherk tonight…”

I love pistachios and peanuts. Soy milk and oat milk are great no matter what the government says we can’t call them this week.

Apples, peaches and banana are fine fruits. In Washington state we don’t much of any citrus. Blue berries and black berries are great, as well as grapes.

Sometimes I have a bunch of things to mix and such. Sometimes its just beans.
