Cooking up a vegan storm

Some notes on recent dishes, per request (you know who you are!)

• chili with kidney beans and navy beans, and rice/tofu burgers ground up, with celery, onion, and carrot.
  
• garlic bread with fresh garlic slices and 'nuttelex' (vegan butter subtitute)
  
• numerous salads, usually with spinach and/or salad greens, and various fresh vegetables

The weather is turning a little grey and rainy, but life aboard ship remains fine. More later!
