My menfolk are away...
and I broke out the VEGETABLES! Onions, carrots, Japanese eggplant and green beans stir-fried in the wok with sesame oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, white wine, ginger and basil...and to top it all off....KALE!

No rice, no meat, just a big steaming heap of vegetables. Ah, it's nice to have the husband and kid away.

1. You are a nice wife and mother
My husband and kids hate it when I have no meat meals. But I'm the cook and I cook what I like. This isn't Burger King. You don't get your way.

3. HA!
When I read the title of your thread, the first thing that popped into my head was, "You can eat whatever you want!":D

5. I'm male and a vegetarian, your meal(minus fish sauce) sounds good.

Not all men are cave dwelling meat eaters.

7. I could live on salads.......
Damn, I guess I already pretty much do. I grew up in the "country" and we had several gardens. I grew up eating just about every vegetable that exists. As a result I am not picky when it comes to veggies. Even when I ate meat, I enjoyed eating veggies more.
