Zucchini Bread

feeds@yuku.com (Deb2008) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 23:57:33 PST

A nice sweet bread, similar to a muffin or cake, much like banana bread, or carrot cake. I often use all three, carrot, zucchini & banana, in one bread. Moist, you eat plain or buttered.
You can add nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips, whatever you like. Some people add grated orange peel
Zucchini's are now in season and I have 3 large ones, that will probably make a dozen loaves, but I am stuffing one with rice, textured tofu, and spices and serving it for dinner tomorrow.
Trying this recipe tonight. UPDATE: THIS recipe sucked. So sorry if anyone used it.
Scroll down to the second one instead.

Animal Welfare into a future EU Constitution!

feeds@yuku.com (Con ny) — Mon, 28 Jul 2003 07:09:00 PST

To all of you, who live in a European Union member or candidate country - and not only the vegetarian one of you!

I've discovered this message board half an hour before and I think it is the right place to tell you something about the ANIMALS´ CONSTITUTION campaign.

I've found the appeal on the German PETA-Website too, but not on the British (maybe because the appeal was initiated by a german organization?).

Well, why we need this campaign?

"The EU member states and the candidate countries intend to adopt the European Constitution by the end of this year. This will be done at the intergovernmental conference in Rome in October. The EU Convention handed over the Constitution`s draft to the heads of the states and governments at the intergovernmental conference in Thessaloniki on the 20th of June. However, some Convention members have submitted...

Danish autumn stew with cream

feeds@yuku.com (Bluejay) — Sat, 27 Oct 2001 20:52:00 PST

It's a recipe I've composed myself, so feel free to invent

For this stew you'll need a large saucepan because "big" is the idea, the larger amount, the more small servings to freeze and you won't have to cook so often - and if friends visit unexpected, you've always got something to serve.

This is what you need:

½ celeriac, cut into cubes (if the green is left, chop some)

3 medium size leeks, cut into small pieces

5-6 medium size carrots, cut into the size of a little finger

1 medium size squach, cut into the size of a thump

1 onion, chopped

2-3 potatoes, grated...

Your Kids will like this one! feeds@yuku.com (deb) — Fri, 19 Oct 2001 21:19:00 PST This is supposed to be a vegetable dish for dinner, but I think it is more of a desert. It is similar in flavour to a pumpkin pie. It is rich and very sweet, you may want to cut the sugar in half. It is good either with canned or fresh baked sweet potatoes. Some people like to add a dash of orange flavouring to it. I love it eaten cold! Sweet Potato Casserole 3 cups cold mashed sweet potatoes (prepared without milk or butter) 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup milk (I use canned evaporated milk, some people use half and half cream) 1/4 cup butter 3 eggs 1tsp salt 1tsp vanilla TOPPING: 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup...

Danish asparagus soup with cream feeds@yuku.com (Bluejay) — Mon, 01 Oct 2001 19:04:00 PST Charlee has been looking for a recipe, and this one has been translated from Danish (by me) so please forgive howlers . It's not difficult to cook, and the soup has a delicious taste. It's preferable to cook fresh, young asparagus, but if it's not the season, I believe preserved ones would do. (Your risk! ). This is what you'll need: 1 bundle of asparagus chopped (save the heads for later use) 1 3/4 pint veggie-stock 25 gramme butter 2 small onions chopped 1 small carrot chopped 2 small potatoes chopped 2½ - 3 tsp flour 1/4...

It was introduced with these words: Many of you over the past couple of years have shown an interest in vegetarian cooking and have requested some of...
