I normally eat veggie burgers without bread anyway. And yes, with a knife and fork :) Try This: Flip Your Veggie Burger Inside Out 101 Cookbooks |

I also had gestational diabetes, and there really aren't a lot of good options. I did not enjoy what I was restricted to eating. But I question the fact that this will be a lifelong thing. Assuming the pregnancy weight is lost and overall a good eating and exercise plan is followed, there should not be a problem. 26 years later, my blood sugar level has not been a problem.

I love the Work Hard and Be Nice to People print. Does anyone know if there are smaller versions of it available? 8x10 or smaller? Kirsten & Kyle's Restored Bungalow Green Tour |

Roast and chop the fennel bulb and use it in a fritatta. I've used the fronds as a substitute for dill in potato salad. What Can I Make With Fresh Fennel? Good Questions |

I don't know the nutrition info, but Trader Joe's frozen Pizza Margherita is very good. The three-cheese is not quite as good (more cheese), but the Margherita's cheese has animal rennet so I go with the three-cheese version. TJ's also has a "Reduced Guilt" frozen Pizza Primavera which is excellent -- 250 cal for the pie, which serves one. Lots of veggies, thin-thin crust, and very little cheese. Better than it sounds. I recommend adding back some of the guilt -- I usually add sauteed mushrooms and some feta or goat cheese. 10 Ways to Dress Up and Improve a Frozen Pizza ManMade DIY |

Madhur Jaffrey has a nice ginger limeade in her World of the East vegetarian cookbook. You could probably just do it w/o the recipe -- the key is grating the ginger and squeezing the juice into the limade. Pitcher Drinks for an Indian-Themed Party? Good Questions |

I too managed to snag the frozen leeks once, and haven't seen them since. That seems to be part of the TJ charm. Their brown basmati rice is also very good, but only appears intermittently at my TJ's. Spotted at Trader Joe's: 5 Great Staples for Our Pantries |

Frozen ravioli, topped with poached eggs and grated parmesan. I also mix in any veggies I have, including frozen mixed veg or edamame. Got Home Late and Starving: What Do You Do? |

Can't be microwaved. I have a bunch of steel tins from India -- although mine don't lock together in a stack like this. They are great for carrying lunch, the lids fit on very tightly. But no microwaving! Plastic-Free Lunch Containers (and More!) from OM Goods |

I agree with MaryWynn. I would try to avoid regular use of TVP and use tofu or tempeh instead, or beans, all of which are not processed foods. Great Recipes with TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)? Good Questions |

I used to have an IKEA one as well, but the weight was never the same twice -- you could step on it twice in five minutes and the difference would be as much as 9 lbs up or down!! I bought an analog scale -- not as nice as that red one -- from Amazon for about $30. More reliable. I weigh myself a lot. Best Bathroom Scales 2011 |

I agree with QueenoftheFall -- if you eat fish, you are not "borderline" vegan! And that makes it much easier for you and your dad -- why not just eat a lot of fish while he is here? What Are Some Vegan One-Pot Meals My (Meat-Eating) Dad Will Like? |

Re bleeding the radiators -- if the heat is actually steam heat (not hot water), you cannot bleed the radiators. I have steam heat in my house, and it is extremely noisy. Lots of banging and hissing. Help With Excessively Noisy Steam Pipes? Good Questions |

Could you grind them and make walnut flour? I believe there are some cake recipes that use almond flour, but not sure if you can do it with walnuts. What Can I Do With 143 Pounds of Walnuts? Good Questions |

Just make sure your dish has some protein, and is not just heavy starches. I find that to be a problem with a lot of vegetarian Thanksgiving main dishes. Help Me Make a Festive Meatless Dish for Thanksgiving Good Questions |

Re handmade rugs at the lower end -- I bought a very large (10x12) wool oriental rug from overstock for about $400 (and 4295 shipping, of course!), and it is handwoven. It even has the certification of no child labor (cannot remember what the organization is called). But if you buy online, make sure you like it, because I cannot imagine how much it would have cost to ship a rug that heavy back. High & Low Sources for Traditional Rugs Shopper's Guide |

Living room and first bedroom are a little cold. Really large rooms. I would probably have a second seating area in the LR to break it up a bit. I do like the minimalist dining room. Enough Is Enough The Diversion Project |
