Here's what I had for dinner. I totally made it up, but there are certain things that you can't go wrong with: onion, garlic, bell pepper and cabbage. So.. how about simply putting them all together!?

Stir fry the onion, garlic and bell pepper in some olive oil. Add laurel for taste and safflower for color, then a little bit of salt. Finally, add a 1/4 cup of water and lots of chopped cabbage. Close it and let it the steam boil the cabbage (2 mins at full fire). When the cabbage is beginning to soften, stir everything and cook for 2 more minutes.

If the onion and bell pepper are too sweet, add lemon juice or vinegar, they work as great replacements for salt.

It's really easy to build something from this simple recipe: add mushrooms, add some pasta with a nice tomato sauce with oregano and thyme. Also, try adding some pre-prepared textured soy protein to the initial stir fry.

I find it really hard to feel satisfied when I solely have vegetarian food, but I suppose that's a habit..

Re: Vegetal dinner
It looks and sounds like it would be delicious. Where I am from, we usually fry cabbage with butter, salt and pepper. Sometimes we throw in polish sausage. Then there are a multitude of stuffed cabbage recipes. Do you know what cornbread is? In the north they put sugar in it, here in the south, we don't. But a good vegetarian southern meal would be pinto beans, cornbread and fried cabbage. For it to be truely vegetarian though, you have to make sure the southerners don't sneak fatback into the beans and/or lard and butter into the bread and cabbage.

I hope you enjoyed your meal.

Btw, I am going to start working on some politically-related stuff this week and you are partly responsible for that.

Stuffed cabbage.. hmm.. sounds good! I have to look into it

I do know what cornbread is! We make it without sugar. Believe it or not, when I was dinning, I thought: "damn, I could use some cornbread with this.." and I had no idea pinto beans had that name in english, thanks for teaching me

Now.. what do I have to do with your work? Is it a good or bad thing?

You inspired the new focus...a friend of mine recommended "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" which I watched today. 
I just want to see where a little research (about more recent happenings) takes me...

Are you trying to get into the habit of eating vegetarian? If you do, this definitely would not satisfy you for long...because these veggies leave your system very fast.  It does look absolutely delicious though, but you do need some pasta, cornbread, some kind of protein just to make it more of a balanced meal.
My husband and I do a curried veggie meal, both out of beans and hominy, with the onions, garlic and the curry seasonings and rice, as well as with black lentils.  For that you sort and rinse two cups of lentils. then you fry onions in oil, add lentils and salt, garlic or powder, onion powder and boil covered in water until they are just about soft. In the meantime, you peal about six medium potatoes or four larger ones, cut into cubes, and add them to the now almost soft lentils. I also add a can of English peas, and then I get the cubes of curry from the asian section and add it last because it really thickens it up a lot as well...oh, only add it after the potatoes are cooked thru.  This is delicious with brown rice...very very cheap and very tasty...

your dish looked very well presented too....well done, NAt!
