My lunchtime pudla (indian chickpea crepes) were amazing thanks to some curry leaves from the back of the produce drawer, leftover chopped cilantro & onion from Tuesday's Rajma (kidney bean curry),  a leftover roasted jalapeno from my Friday taqueria run and some killer Indian chile peppers with some serious kick.  I only used half a chile, but I needed at least 4 Kleenex for my nose... What made it all come together was some amazing ketchup from Sir Kensington's that I found at my neighborhood Whole Foods.  We'd had it in NY at Penelope, and I was amazed to learn that refills don't have to come carefully wrapped in luggage!

I "fried" them in a nonstick scanpan with only a squirt or two of nonstick spray.  Yum!

At a recent gathering for a cousin's bar mitzvah, we introduced our extended family to our new eating habits.  In addition to providing yummy salad and a vegan meal for me at the event itself, my cousin made sure there were salads and veggie burgers at the gathering at her house, and my aunt stocked her own kitchen for the meals we'd share there. 

Dinner was a yummy vegetable curry from Fine Cooking Magazine (3x carrots, 1/2 the cauliflower). At the last minute, my aunt allowed us to cover her kitchen in flour as my daughter rolled whole wheat roti and I cooked them and  puffed them on her gas stove.  And then she cleaned up while we went out for dessert!  What a gift!

My daughter insisted I take a picture for the blog.  What you can't see in the frame is the lovely salad with multiple kinds of lettuce and chopped vegetables.  The comment from my daughter was "we're eating a rainbow!"  Yum!
