Adventist Vegan Dinner Loaf Wizard: http://www.veganlunchbox.com/loaf_studio.html

This was sent to me by my ex P, since he knew me years ago as I was falling off the veggie wagon (which coincided with me hopping on the research wagon). He knows that I still favor what he calls "brown food."

I find it curious that we've switched roles and he's now a vegetarian except for organic meats, while I now jump for joy at the prospect of eating a juicy steak (though I have been cooking veggie at home for budgetary reasons). Actually, I believe we now eat the inverse of one another - he eats veggie in restaurants (unless they have organic meats), but eats meat he buys and cooks himself, while I eat meat when taken out for a meal, but am staying largely veg at home.

Anyway, it looks like a good recipe wizard that I'll have to try, especially since I have much of the ingredients on hand.

I love how Rob Brezny is occasionally spot on - having just finished my colloquium presentation, preparing for conference season, I think this is INCREDIBLY apt:

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): "As soon as you concern yourself with the 'good'
and 'bad' of your fellows," said Morihei Ueshiba, founder of the martial art
of aikido, "you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter.
Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you."
Make that your hypothesis in the coming week, Leo. Proceed according to
the theory that you can feed your strength and power and freedom by
accepting other people just the way they are. Assume that one of the
surest ways to be happy and successful is to judge no one.
