Yup. They'd miss me and Don too and we run about the same. I think
'lacto-ovo vegetarian' fits us for most of our meals. Only 10% of our
meals have chicken, pork, or beef. 10% are seafood.
 
Last night was a lovely crustless egg quiche with minced mustard green
leaves, green onions and mushrooms, topped with thick shredded gouda
and graced with homemade garlic and black pepper croutons about the top.
 
Even when we do use meat, it tends to fall more in the category of
'garnish' levels.
 
Tonight? 'Greens-n-beans'. Last of the mustard leaves with a hearty
bowl of 1/2 a split meaty porkbone and 2 1/2 x 1/2 inch salted
porkbelly cubes and butterbeans.
 
The beanpot has 12-14 servings. Maybe 4oz meat plus 1oz in cubed fat?
Marrow would add maybe 2 oz (fairly thin bone). 7oz 'meat' split among
12-14 servings. Also 1tb of knorrs chicken broth. I'll serve it with
fresh bread of a soft white that's rising in smallish 3.5 inch or so
buns.
 
Camera decided to be a stinker and the lens isn't opening so no
pictures for a bit.

Poor Bruce! He probably thinks we all eat like David's pictures!
Reality, maybe we do sometimes but it's the exception, not the rule, to
have that much meat at that level of frequency as he seems to post.

Jill, none of us expect anyone to not enjoy a good steak! The majority
of us do just that! Lord knows I do! Yes, those surveys are slanted
but we don't know if that particular one was (or was not). What you
see here is far simpler. Just a few folks chattering. None us us in
North America other than John (happy to eat meat when it's free) are
really 'vegetarian'. Our queries are not related to the survey other
than tangentally when Gary shifted to just say about 80% of his meals
are vegetarian (spanning 3 meals a day).

Add some to the mix if you are making chocolate cake.

I have used buttermilk powder. It's mostly a flavoring agent used in biscuits and pancakes. The problem I had with it was that it doesn't keep for very long before it just turns into a rock instead of powder. I add vinegar to the milk not because I want vinegar flavored waffles but because I like the effect of curdled milk in the batter i.e., it's better to have a thick waffle batter than a thin one. Milk with vinegar can indeed be substituted for buttermilk in recipes that rely on acid for a rise because it uses baking soda as a leavening agent.

I have sometimes used yoghurt instead of buttermilk, in pancakes and
waffles. It works well.

I add a dollop to chocolate cake batter. As mentioned above, buttermilk
is an alternative, if on hand. The sourness of them bring out the
chocolate flavour.

That's what I did when I was a kid - use homemade yogurt to make waffles. That was the start of it all. Hee hee.

Western breakfasts tend to be on the heavy side for people that have to work in mines, chop down trees, or build railroads. Asian breakfasts are probably better for our modern lifestyles. In the future, people won't have to work at all so we'll all be eating Asian breakfasts.

I remember Turkey in the straw from grade school days so either the ice cream truck had an 8 track or a music box metal cylinder. Turkey also has alternative lyrics about melons.

Isn't it derived from southern US negro "coon" songs?

That could explain the tune being used in Chicago. But my neighborhood was mixed and sliding towards Puerto Rican.

That manapua truck music does sound like a metal cylinder music box or an 8-track. I can't imagine an 8-track cart lasting a couple of decades though. I suppose a metal cylinder music box might last a century or more. That would be cool.

Couldn't access recipe. Presumably one pokes holes in the meat and
stuff them with a bit of anchovy before roasting.
 
I usually serve roast lamb with Shrewsbury Sauce.

The link is mostly to a site that wants you to install an app to access recipes. It's probably okay if you don't mind paying 40 bucks a year for recipes. OTOH, in this day and age, nobody in the free world should have to pay anything to get a recipe.

No knifes just crack the shell in one bite and chomp the meat.
