You wrote a few days ago that she's not out of the woods yet. Hopefully that has changed?<BR/><BR/>Jane of <A HREF="http://veganbits.com" REL="nofollow">VeganBits.com</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181014073016003072.post-65412852758666535022008-01-27T18:58:00.000-05:002008-01-27T18:58:00.000-05:00I really hope Made gets better soon.

I haven't perfected it yet, but the trial runs were pretty good.<BR/><BR/><BR/>P.S.

They'll probably all show up at once LOL<BR/><BR/>I followed a recipe (well, a bit of it, as you'll see) to remind me of some of the things that should go in a moussaka - otherwise I might leave some important herb or spice out, I sometimes think). Here's the one I did last time:<BR/><A HREF="http://beanvegan.blogspot.com/2007/10/moussaka.html" REL="nofollow">http://beanvegan.blogspot.com/2007/10/moussaka.html</A> sort of adapting a Greek wedding menu for 25 persons (as seen here: <A HREF="http://www.vegcooking.com/InviteElegant_TradD2.asp" REL="nofollow">http://www.vegcooking.com/InviteElegant_TradD2.asp</A> - with a few alterations, of course.<BR/><BR/>The version you are asking about substituted lentils for the tofu, used homemade pasta sauce instead of tomato sauce, and used the same pasta sauce to top the dish (instead of the creamy silken tofu topping of the previous recipe). I may have adjusted the seasonings and quantities a bit - I don't honestly remember, but I'd be surprised if I hadn't ;)<BR/><BR/>That doesn't help much, does it? I tend not to use recipes much, not even my own, except for trying something new - and also for baking, of course.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the good wishes about our lovely Made'. She was in the animal hospital again from Wednesday, but out again today looking sprightlier, wagging her tail, and thankfully able to eat (a couple of Tbsp at a time) and keeping it down. She's not out of the woods yet, but we're cautiously hopeful. She's such a dear!

It's not that I mean to neglect you, but we've been having a rough time with our little beagle Made'. For those who don't have dogs and/or don't understand how we dog guardians can go on like this as if it were a child in pain, you can skip the rest and come back when I have some more dishes to show you. Okay? Love you all!!!<BR/><BR/>Made' came home from the animal hospital Saturday lunchtime but hasn't been doing so well so had to see the vet again this am for some shots (four or five - I lost track) and now home again. We're trying to keep the pain under control AND get her to eat a little while giving the pancreas time to rest/heal/whatever. More when we know more. But thanks so much for caring. We love her to bits!Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271325047234119151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181014073016003072.post-59618082569974279102008-01-22T12:08:00.000-05:002008-01-22T12:08:00.000-05:00Any word on Made?

I'm glad they figured out what was wrong with her and wish her a speedy recovery. Dogs are like children... I have both.. <BR/><BR/>Your food looks awesome. I love how you turn your leftovers into pasta sauce. I do that too.. it is my favorite way to eat many leftovers... and wow.. your mousska looks delicious. Eggplant and tomatoes are the BEST combo.MeloMealshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957104951513167524noreply@blogger.com
