"just remembered the home made contraptions I used to sprout my own alfalfa and bean shoots in,"

Punkfolkrocker: that reminds me, I have a sprouter somewehre. And I have lots of mung beans and lentils both of which make OK sprouts - ideal for wraps, salads and for stir fries.

I do tend to find though that they are a tad on the stringy seeming side compared to bought sprouts, or maybe I didn't keep them damp enough when I've tried growing them before?

Not so vegan yesterday; oven baked salmon fillet for dinner served on a bed of mixed green salad, with a more substantial rice salad on the side. No other animal foods during the day though, fruit for breakfast and lunch was the last of my butterbean and horseradish dip with crudites and pittas. Bread and jam for supper :)
