*Looks hungry and helpless*

So. I have been thinking about what to give up for Lent, and have settled on meat.

However, this is making me mildly apprehensive about being able to stick to it, as I have only a very limited repertoire of vegetarian dishes. As I know my flist contains lots of people who are Good at Food, could you help me out by recommending recipes. I don't have much time to cook during the week. I do like spices, though I'm not all that good at really hot food (I tend to go for 'medium' dishes in Indian restaurants). I also love lentils, and also mushrooms. I have never cooked with tofu, but am willing to give it a go as long as people tell me exactly how to deal with it....

I feel that I ought to point out to mina_de_malfois, and all her admirers, that today is the feast of the patron saint of her college, St Scholastica. Which out to be an excuse for a martini, or something...

On another note entirely, I have been having unregenerate fun with the create your own Harlequin romance plot!

Peter, adventurer and captain of the infamous ship Calypso and a renowned seducer of women, has just walked into the one tavern in all of the unknown reaches of Mars he should have avoided. For Harriet, his sworn enemy, is the brainy owner—and she has vengeance on her mind.

But before she can take her feisty revenge, she is captured by this rogue's kiss. Her only chance for retribution is to put her career as an award-winning writer on hold and stow away on his ship for a passionate adventure that will either kill them—or bring them together once and for all!
