Lori, I totally relate to your story! Cooking meat is still more or less a mystery to me. I've gotten to the place where I can do chicken in basic ways, but even there my repertoire is very limited. I know nothing about cooking red meat; even hamburger sort-of scares me! It's pathetic, really! I've found non-Loma Linda vege-meats that I generally try to use instead of the traditional ones I grew up with, even though I know Worthington isn't owned by SDAs anymore. (Except Fri-chick...that's still good!) I just have an internal resistance to eating those old familiar brand names... Colleen | ||

It is pathetic Colleen, but what can one expect from someone who's light bulb is out?  Actually I am scared of a hamburger if its still alive, weighs 2000 lb's and has horns. A hamburger like that is a little scary even from horse back. River | ||

Lori, Here is what I do with hamburger. I make a meat loaf: 1 lb hamburger, 1 egg, 1 pkg of Liptons Onion Soup and mix all together. Bake 50 mins @350. When the time is up smother the top with ketchup and return to oven for 10min. What is left over you can make sandwiches out of or freeze it for another meal if enough. If you are more interested in what to do with hamburger you can e-mail me and I will send you another idea. Gail gcfrankie@bmi.net | ||

I make a vegeburger meatloaf that my Baptist husband AND father in law love! It is with canned vegeburger, Velveeta cheese,(so healthy ) butter, onion, breadcrumbs, and has a ketchup/brown sugar topping! It is really good. I still love vegetarian food, but eat a lot of chicken and fish and some beef. | ||

I adore that vegeburger meatloaf, also! Real meat is definitely healthier, though | ||

I loved your story Lori! And I loved what you said about not wanting to be a burden to a hostess, eating in other countries, being able to cook for the people you love, etc. I have Alaskan salmon and halibut steaks in my freezer, and every day I consider cooking them up for supper, but keep avoiding it. My husband just had his first hamburger at a cookout at work this week, and said it tasted much like a Boca burger. I once cooked a chicken for the dinner party of an heiress I was working for, as a housekeeper. I just followed the recipe, rubbing it with salt, and oil and inserting some garlic and herbs in the cavity. She raved about it. Who knew? Interestingly enough, when I was taking foods classes at WWC, our professor gave us a lecture about food safety with meat one day, and did a demonstration of cooking it up for us in class, because she felt we might need that information, working in food related careers. River, Big Franks are $8 a can up here in AK, if you can believe that! And here I was told one of the reasons not to eat meat was because it was so expensive. (Which of course is also a reason not to buy a wedding ring, but that's another post....) | ||

You know Dianna, it just dawned on me, I paid no attention to what you all ordered at the restaurant, its just that us evangelical pay no attention to food other than deciding what we are going to have off the menu. Dianna, I truly hope I didn't sick you all out with ordering spaghetti with meat balls. I didn't think of it you know? I kid around a lot, but I would never do anything to hurt you. I hope you know that. I really love you guys. River | ||

River, Yes, the fake meats are very expensive. But like Diana C., I was taught that one of the reasons not to eat meat was because it was too "expensive"! Isn't it incredible how opposite from reality everything is in Adventism?! Jeremy | ||

That sentence, Jeremy, sums up Adventism. It's totally inside-out and backwards. Black is white. Green is red. If we don't understand that, it's because we're rebellious and untrusting... God is faithful, though! It's amazing that all of us are here actually SEEING what was wrong! Light exposes darkness... Colleen | ||

Well, for me its like looking at a parallel universe, only in this universe everything is tweaked and not quite right. In this universe they speak the same language, but the meanings aren't the same, the colors aren't right, the cars on the street aren't real, on close examination, they don't run and nothing works, everything is skewed as if everything is for show with no functionality. The light is surreal and fake and it looks like everything is shimmering and threatens to disappear. That is the best I can do to describe Adventism. River | ||

Yep, River, that about sums it up! The sad thing is that real humans are caught in it. (Message edited by helovesme2 on June 11, 2009) | ||

The economics are relative. A can of Big Franks cost %5 plus, depending on the store. It brings 8 big franks. If you buy beef, a good cut will cost you about the same per pound. The only thing is that the 8 big Franks will go father than the pound of beef. In this sense, it's cheaper. So River go and get yourself a can of Big Franks. Oh, and you don't have to cook them, they are ready to eat out of the fridge at midnight. Hec | ||

hec, I am really getting an education, when I first heard about big franks, I thought they meant something made by a guy by the name of big Frank. Yall are contaminating my innocence. River | ||

Bb, Brown sugar on a fake meat loaf? You got to be kidding! That is something only a Baptist could love. Baptist are like mikey, they'll eat anything! They're so used to anything thats warmed over (including Church) their taste buds even died. If anything had any life they would kill it and warm it over. I expect John to post about now. heh Heh. Go Hogs John, I know yer lurking. Go over the Arkansas line and watch a real foot ball game for a change. If that don't draw him out, we better pray for him cause he's either sick or back slid.

Hec, Try frozen "Leanies" by Worthington; they taste like the real thing (hot dogs). They are a good alternative to my obsession with tuna salad sandwiches. My wife insists that I shouldn't eat more than two servings per week due to the mercury content. Dennis Fischer | ||

River, I totally didn't even notice or remember what you ate. I was just too twitterpated being there with you all! You're a sweetie to apologize just in case though. Hugs, Momma | ||
| Hec Registered user Username: Hec Post Number: 264 Registered: 3-2009 |
Hmmm, frozen "Leanies". I'm joining River. I'm getting an education. I've never seen those. And after reading some of that stuff on soy, I think I'll take my chances with the mercury. Actually, I don't like many of the fake meats. I like Big Franks (not the guys like River says, but the weenies) Scallops, I love, but they have to be breaded and deep fried. I don't do it a home because I dislike the odor of frying inside my house. Besides those, I'll eat about anything, even a posum if I don't know it's a posum, but not because like that stuff. Do you remember many years ago when they came up with the fried chick that was shape in the almost form of a chicken leg and they inserted a little stick on it? Well, we used to call them wooden meat. And now, about everything that comes as a meat analog we call it that. Hec | ||
| River Registered user Username: River Post Number: 4987 Registered: 9-2006 |
Well, if it taste like a weaner, then why the leaner,why not just get a real weaner? My Mom cooked a coon once and it didn't turn out fit to eat.What she failed to do(or my Dad did) was to remove the scent gland from the thigh and the thing stunk and Dad threw it to the hounds. Red fox squirrel taste pretty good if you don't mangle him with shot gun pellets, shot gun pellets are hard on the teeth. To me its just ridiculous to make a cabbage look like a chicken leg, or a soy bean look like a weaner. Adventist not only copy Christian language, they copy Christian chickens. River | ||
| River Registered user Username: River Post Number: 4988 Registered: 9-2006 |
Come to think of it, Adventist are fake, why not they have fake everything else? Seems reasonable to me and it makes perfect sense, now that I thought it over. | ||

Now you're talking, River. Finally you discover the Adventist trademark. Hec |
