Veggie Writer @veggiewriter - Tumblr Blog

Just a little more about this side blog:

I cook for my partner and I so serving size for everything is 2 people, although we usually have leftovers. Adjust accordingly (or message me if you want help with conversions)

I'm vegan so all recipes will be vegan

I'm an amateur so pictures are taken with an outdated phone with crappy camera quality

Most of these recipes will be fairly easy (low spoons or moderate spoons)

I don't measure out seasonings, I just pour them in to my heart's content

Everything is versatile! So please experiment by taking out or adding ingredients and then let me know what you did! Submit pictures even!

I'll eventually work out a better tagging system so if I'm making something specifically gluten free or GERD-friendly, etc, it'll be easier to find those.

Thanks for checking out my page! I'm sure this will be added to sporadically.

What’s you thoughts on what happen to Laika

I think that Laika was yet another victim of horrific animal experimentation, whose needless death was no more or less remarkable than any of the others. She died a horrible and slow death of overheating while under extreme stress, something the scientists who sent her to die knew was likely to happen.

After the Soviet Union had lied about it for years in their propaganda, in 2002, Russian scientist Dimitri Malashenkov revealed that Laika had survived only about five to seven hours after liftoff before dying of overheating and panic. It was belatedly made known that Laika’s pulse rate tripled during takeoff and only came down somewhat during weightlessness.

This wasn’t a test of how the body responds to overheating in space that would at least yield useful data to prevent future deaths. Laika didn’t ensure the survival of future dogs, who had to endure the same stress. This happened because The Soviet scientists had insufficient time to perfect life-support systems, due to political pressure to launch in time for the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. That is what she died for.

This was not a noble sacrifice worthy of celebration, it was an unimaginably stressed out dog cruelly sent to her death because her captors believed that animals are expendable, and that it is perfectly acceptable for them to suffer in order to serve frivolous human interests. This is unfortunately a sentiment that many people still agree with. I constantly see her death being glorified on Tumblr, as well as the repetition of literal state propaganda; all because it makes for a nicer story than the truth.

Lentil Salad

My mom got us this beautiful bowl and I finally used it for this lentil salad!

Ingredients:

1 cup (dry) lentils (or do 1 can of cooked lentils)

2 tomatoes

Fresh dill

Fresh parsley

Dressing made of:

About 3 tablespoons of olive oil

Juice from half of a large lemon (or use a whole small lemon)

About a tablespoon of Dijon mustard

Oregano

Salt

Pepper

I just cooked the lentils in boiling water, then turned the heat down so they could simmer for about 20-25 minutes. Make the dressing in your bowl and set aside. Chop the tomatoes, dill, and parsley. Once lentils are cooked, strain or scoop out of the water and place in the bowl with the dressing, mix, and allow to marinate for a few minutes. Throw in the chopped ingredients and squeeze a little more lemon juice on top!

This is versatile! Use what you have. No lentils? Chickpeas or white beans can work. Some roasted red pepper and olives would be good additions. Of course, dried herbs can be used in lieu of fresh. This would be good chilled, but we ate it while the lentils were still warm. I served this with some naan and hummus!
