The Vegan Experience, Day 24: Miracle Ingredients and New Pantry Staples

Okay, good, I always got the same impression of the "wacky conspiracy theories." I think I'm paranoid because most of the studies (which I believe are largely inconclusive) refer to negative reproductive effects in some animal, like mice and haven't actually been tested on humans. So until I hear some real hard evidence, I will continue to enjoy my soy milk and tofu (in moderation.)

The Vegan Experience, Day 24: Miracle Ingredients and New Pantry Staples

Let me be more specific...I know fermented soy products are okay....soy sauce, stinky tofu etc. But I am worried about my consumption of regular tofu, soy milk and fresh soy products.

Kenji, I have read studies about the negative health effects of soy and I was wondering what your take on the issue is.

A Sandwich a Day: The Reuben at Louis Restaurant in Providence, RI

Leah...another great Prov sandwich that my co-workers and I get at least once a week. The vegetarian sandwich from Seven Stars Bakery, so simple yet so good. Mozzarella, arugula, roasted red pepper and olive tapenade on french bread. Get it toasted and it becomes easier to eat and more delicious.

absentminded kitchen disasters

When I read the title of this thread, I had to tell my story. I was making pasta once in my tiny apartment kitchen. I got everything ready, turned on the burner and went to the living room to wait for the water to boil. A few minutes later I heard the strangest sound coming from the kitchen and I went to investigate. Flames were coming off the stove and literally enveloping the cabinets, which was guiding the fire to the opposite wall. Turns out, I had turned on the wrong burner, which had a plastic colander on it. It lit on fire, which melted the knobs on the stove and basically set the kitchen on fire. Awesome.

What's your favorite simple sandwich?

I don't know if its my favorite, but I eat it everyday for lunch. Turkey on toasted whole wheat with cranberry mustard, goat cheese, thin sliced cucumber and baby spinach-pretty darn satisfying. I also love a good bagel with cream cheese, lox, onions, capers and tomato, thats probably my fave.
