That's funny about you in junior high and high school--you are obviously very smart, but I'm sure that being thrown into a completely new culture can have some pretty dramatic effects on a kid. How long have you been in the US now?<BR/><BR/>Vicki, using seitan sounds like a good idea. Seitan is still on my list of things to try--if you use it for something like this, I'll be interested to see how you did it.<BR/><BR/>Kati, I agree--tempeh is SO delicious when you learn how to cook it just right! I always love to find out that people I know also love to write--that's cool. Maybe I will get to read some of your writing sometime. And yes, Georgia has that kind of religious atmosphere that can be downright oppressive--while there are perfectly cool people, there are also people who don't seem to share much love, when I think love is what God is all about! Sorry, now I'm ranting. :) Thanks for your comments.<BR/><BR/>Urban vegan, thanks! I love baking bread--there's something refreshing about it.<BR/><BR/>Diann, thanks for your comments. My high school was really small too, but extremely cliquey. I'm so glad the "real world" isn't so much like that--that would be a tough world to live in. It's so much better when everyone can be who they are, and we learn to accept and appreciate each other for the qualities that really matter!laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124236356802448254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-31048249094270275492007-02-28T22:21:00.000-05:002007-02-28T22:21:00.000-05:00Your tempeh dish sounds great - you really came up...Your tempeh dish sounds great - you really came up with a nice combination of flavors.<BR/><BR/>I loved reading about your 5 things. I'm mostly impressed with the fact that you're so young, but have such a great sense of who you are. My high school was kind of small, so it was easy to be cool and popular, and it was also cool to be smart. But deep down we knew we were nerds, and we even joke now that we're still nerds! <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you enjoy writing and I look forward to reading some of your works someday.aTxVegnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949520229934543457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-8941646693489616192007-02-28T20:15:00.000-05:002007-02-28T20:15:00.000-05:00nice to know more about you! nothing like homemade...nice to know more about you! nothing like homemade bread--you are quite the backer. keep writing, laura!urban veganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541085454822240908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-36169957173034289752007-02-28T17:59:00.000-05:002007-02-28T17:59:00.000-05:00I think my tempeh journey went from dislike to lov...I think my tempeh journey went from dislike to love in a matter of only a few meals, so keep at it and you'll be a fanatic in no time!<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed reading your five things. I share your passions for creative writing and nature - I really miss the natural world being here in the city. It's also refreshing to hear your take on Christianity, especially after living in OK where the evangelical movement is very strong and not very tolerant of differing viewpoints. I imagine the climate in Georgia is much the same, so I commend you for taking what many may feel is an unpopular stance. <BR/><BR/>Why didn't I know you had another blog? I will definitely have to check it out!Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719655424123453392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-37921922865139883852007-02-28T14:42:00.000-05:002007-02-28T14:42:00.000-05:00hi laura! your tempeh dish looks fabulous -- i'll ...hi laura! your tempeh dish looks fabulous -- i'll probably try it with seitan (art doesn't like tempeh) but we're both big fans of sweet potatoes & kale. i really enjoyed reading your 5 things getting to know you better. it's cool how you met bob & congrats on your acting award. :o)Vicki's Vegan Vicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786229426003858902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-47092127902125179242007-02-28T14:20:00.000-05:002007-02-28T14:20:00.000-05:00I'm a hopeless tempeh fanatic, so I loved reading ...I'm a hopeless tempeh fanatic, so I loved reading about your tempeh, and glad it came out ok. And your loaves are so very cute. I keep saying I'm going to do a big batch of baking and freeze some bread and pizza dough, but haven't gotten around to it yet. but soon!<BR/><BR/><BR/>And your 5 things were interesting. I was kind of the opposite of you in junior high and high school- I got really bad grades. I think adjusting to the new language/culture after moving to the U.S. had something to do with it. And then, in college, I went back to my nerdy ways and graduated with an A average. And now, I'm the nerdiest I can be: a graduate student, and I'm embracing it too!bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-41946498954900529542007-02-28T13:35:00.000-05:002007-02-28T13:35:00.000-05:00Tania, have fun playing with tempeh!

I'm going to keep varying it and playing with the marinade until I have a whole repertoire of things to do with it.<BR/><BR/>Kleo, thanks for your compliments! I was so excited to see your comments on my other blog--thanks for reading. Oh yes, and the tempeh thing was definitely a happy accident. I usually don't plan far enough in advance to marinate something for very long!<BR/><BR/>Amey, our bread does look quite alike--it must be equally delicious! I am glad you enjoyed my comments about Christianity. It can be a difficult thing to address sometimes, at the risk of sounding closed-minded and arrogant.<BR/><BR/>Scottish vegan, I look forward to reading all about your tempeh ventures! I enjoy your blog very much. :)<BR/><BR/>Melody, kale and sweet potatoes are two foods that I seem to pair together quite often... I don't know if it's the colors or what that causes my tendency to do that, but they're definitely a good match! Thanks for responding to my question... I'm really trying to learn as much about bread-making as I can so I can do it the way you do, by instinct. I think it's fascinating. Next time I make it I will try adding the wheat gluten and see what happens.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124236356802448254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-21964005555813848552007-02-28T13:08:00.000-05:002007-02-28T13:08:00.000-05:00Oh, I adore kale and sweet potatoes together.. and...Oh, I adore kale and sweet potatoes together.. and tempeh would be a great addition too.. I always marinate it at least a day, otherwise it just doesn't taste that good to me. <BR/><BR/>Your bread looks fabulous! When I add vital wheat gluten, I will add anywhere from 2 tbsp up to a cup. When I add a cup, the bread is really hard to manage, but I do that when I'm making lower calorie bread. I think I added around 1/4 cup to that loaf. I never measure, I just throw things in when I bake bread.

I liked reading your reflections on Christianity... it sounds like you and Bob have found a path that comes from the heart. It's also neat to find out that you are so into writing.

I'd give 'em a squeeze or two.<BR/><BR/>It's great that your extra marinating (an accidental experiment, no?) worked out just fine. I always like to and want to marinate tofu and tempeh, etc., a lot longer but i'm usually too rushed to do so. I'm still kinda new to tempeh, and i like what you did with yours here. Nice combo with the sweet po's and the sauteed garlic, onion and kale. Mmmmmmm! It looks groovy. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading your five "things" - the personal insights to you. You are complex and intriguing... and as you probably noticed, i have been enjoying your nature writing on your other blog! Thanks for sharing part of yourself with us. Way to get the honourable mention for the acting, Laura.<BR/><BR/>Smart = good.
