@CleverNickName My wife has used that fluid as a binder for granola. Apparently there are many uses for it.

I made this Ginger Sweet Potato and Coconut Milk Stew with Lentils & Kale last night - absolutely fantastic. 100% vegan and gluten free, too, for those who care. I actually used beef broth as I didn't have vegetable broth, so maybe that added a bit of flavor.
Sooo...not QUITE vegan as made.
I was going to use that as a guide to doing stir-fry tonight, but I dozed off reading emails and didn’t wake until 6:45. Not enough time to do my prep and get dinner tabled at a reasonable time. Tomorrow, then.
I was looking to it more for technique than recipe- though that doesn’t hurt either- because it’s AGES since I did a stir-fry. And my technique was always lacking, IMHO. Always room for improvement, y’know?
And like I said, the recipe was a bonus. I was surprised to see the egg in the meat prep.

True, true. But the recipe is, and I imagine it would be 99% as good with vegetable broth.
OK, maybe 95%.
89%.

Having recently been officially diagnosed as allergic to wheat, dairy, and eggs, I am super stoked to find that out about garbanzo bean liquid. Totally gonna try that. I have been using ground flax as an egg substitute, which actually works quite well.
Recent items ive made due to the aforementioned allergies include chocolate zuchinni banana bread that was very good, oatmeal banana cookies, and lots more Asian dishes lol.
One thing I’ve noticed is that since I can’t eat wheat, dairy, or eggs, that pretty much eliminates all fast food and most processed food. Everything is homemade now, and more veggies. In the past month, I’ve lost 10lbs without doing anything else. Sugar and processed food intake down a lot. My meals are more paleo now, with the occasional treat like the above baked goods.

My food allergies don’t usually interfere with my cooking or dining choices in any major way. But I do have to be aware of dietary issues of others because I cook big meals for varied crowds. Between religious, health and taste/texture concerns, menu planning and ingredient substitutes are always on my mind.
So I know, for instance, that rice pastas make for decent wheat pasta substitutes on occasion. And almost anything I can eat on bread or pasta can be served in/on potatoes,
Dairy, OTOH? I got nothing. I mean, veggie “milks” exist, and some are fine as beverages, but I have not a clue as to which can be used in cooking,..or how.

Last week there was only the cheap and nasty spaghetti left on the shelf. So I decided to test the in case of emergency supply.
Stuff I don't normally eat.
Then broke out the bread maker and made some bread. Used some milk powder then made up some fake milk and turned it into a hot chocolate test.
Been drinking dated coffee and eating cereal I found in the back of the cupboard dated November 2019.
Figured may as well test what I'm willing to eat now.

Sounds like a plan to me.
Our younger dog has been recovering from a serious illness, and was put on a low-fat meat and rice diet. Couldn’t find chicken, so got turkey (Vet OK’ed), but there was ZERO rice in the stores. Except...
Besides a few boxes of boil in bag, we had one out of date 10lb bag of standard white rice in the pantry. I cooked some up, and tasted it. It was fine, thankfully.
Bottom line: our grrrls haven’t been complaining, and I’m getting much needed practice in cooking rice on the stovetop.
