Vegan Theory Club Weekly Mega thread: 2025-02-27 - 2025-03-05
Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!
Questions of the week: (Feel free to answer one, both, neither, or posit your own!):
What is a new meal/ recipe you tried recently and how’d it go? (thanks @WhereDidMySpinachGo)
What is your latest hobby?
Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other; however, please keep in mind: vegans only, and we abide by the Anarchist Code of Conduct.
I'll post a quick update on things as a comment to this post shortly!
Been using banana peels as a vegetable, shredding them into strips with a fork then simmering in broth. Kinda like a crunchy string bean texture after 20 minutes of cooking, no detectable banana flavor (for me at least). I'm on the lookout for more recipes if anyone else uses them.
As for hobbies, desperately waiting for spring to start gardening again. I miss all the cool bugs and being chased inside by carpenter bees 🐝 lol!
Those banana peels you posted look really cool! I've never thought to cook with them before.
Gardening's really fun. I miss having a garden and can't wait to have a front or backyard when I move. For some reason I get lots of cool insects come inside over the year. I keep getting praying mantises flying inside this time of year, with the last time one stealthy laying eggs by the windowsill. Later I had dozens of "ants" on the windows until I noticed they were actually baby mantises!
It started bouncing between 60F and 20F here, weather whiplash! But some shrubs are starting to bud which is such a mood booster. I'm hoping to get brambles or hopniss plants this spring.
