Maybe I will email you an essay that I wrote a long time back on how in my interpretation education makes us think about all aspects of life, across various disciplines. I am not merely preaching that but also practicing it ;)<br /><br />One of these summer days we will have come on over for dinner, Anne, and I will make sure that boiled peanuts is on the menu. It will be an all-vegetarian affair, and Ramesh can miss out on all that ;)<br /><br />In addition to Anne's note on edamame, I will add that Ramesh knows it as the young soybean, which he would have had in plenty in China? ...<br /><br />BTW, maybe you should market a bumper sticker: "USA: we produce the world's most expensive urine" ;)Sriram Khéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724218458246880137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27946614.post-75940375427906283382015-05-23T19:51:39.442-07:002015-05-23T19:51:39.442-07:00I think the love affair with meat in the US is bas...I think the love affair with meat in the US is based somewhat on the American obsession with protein. We think we need a lot of protein so we eat a lot of meat, drink nasty protein shake concoctions or consume protein bars by the boxful. Generally we don't need as much as we consume so we have the world's most expensive urine. <br /><br />There are some people for whom it would be difficult to consume sufficient protein with a vegetarian diet. (Of course the amount of protein needed is debatable and varies from one expert to the next.) For example, during football season, my boys should consume approximately 150 g of protein daily. Allowing for a quart of milk, the balance of the protein need equals 8 cups of beans or 20 eggs, both of which are unappealing and unappetizing. Meat is a logical choice.<br /><br />Ramesh - edamame is one of the current superfoods Americans adopt in order to gain maximum health with minimal effort. My crew doesn't care for the texture, preferring lentils or black beans. You really need to learn to appreciate the joys of food. So much variety, so much fun preparing and sharing. <br /><br />Sriram - boiled peanuts? That is a new concept to me. If you have a recipe, please email. Yet another appealing meal.<br />Anne in Salemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27946614.post-84128687616571866872015-05-23T18:25:28.090-07:002015-05-23T18:25:28.090-07:00Much ado about nothing.
