Week 2 as Official Tuesday Lunch Cook

Tomorrow I jump into my second week as the official Tuesday lunch cook. Same meal I cooked last semester. I thought I posted last week's meal, but I guess I did not. Anyways, I should probably post what I'm planning for this week's meal.

• Spinach Chickpea Curry
• From the wonderful book Vegan with a Vengeance, I love this dish. In it's most basic form, it's onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, spinach, and chickpeas. There's a whole host of spices in there too, but I'm going to be limited to working with the co-op's sad state of spices for this week. Either way it shall be delicious. Always a crowd pleaser.
  
• Marinated Lemon Zucchini
• Taken from Vegan Italiano, it will involve prepping the zucchini tonight and letting it marinate overnight in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper. Then broiling it for a few minutes on each side. The co-op ovens are kind of spastastic, so this will basically mean turning it on the highest setting and flipping them when it looks ok.
  
• Rice
• Not much to say. A definite must to go with the curry.
• Cookies?

Now, this isn't much of a cooking blog without pictures is it? My fellow co-oper next door took pictures of one of my meals but she has not yet gotten those photos to me. This is what happens when one only has a not-so-good camera phone.

Also, we have a raw foodist in the co-op this semester. She has a deal with the co-op in that she asks us to prepare salads a lot and then she'll take some co-op food back to her place and prepare her own food. However, I am incredibly interested in experimenting with raw food techniques and I would love to learn more about it because I don't like to have food at a meal that people can't eat. But it gets tricky in that I don't think we can sprout foods. Simple but delicious raw food ideas?
