July 26, 2010Humane Society TAFA Weekend (July 23-25)
The highlight was Saturday night's banquet. While dining on a Vegan feast, we listened to Representative Nick Rahall (D, West Virginia). He is a true friend and advocate for animals on Capital Hill. He showed up with his wife and with his adorable rescued pooch. Next, Humane Society President & CEO Wayne Pacelle gave a truly inspiring speech encouraging all of us to continue working to help animals. Finally, comedian Hal Sparks had all of us laughing uncontrollably as he reminded us to lighten up and be more like our pets (i.e., happy). I'm posting a couple of short videos from the conference.

Michael Giacomello, a Vegan chef at the conference told me about a vegan meat substitute product that I was unfamiliar with - Meatmatch. This was served Saturday night and was delicious. Check out the website: http://www.matchmeats.com/. He also provided me with the banquet menu from Saturday night: Assorted breads and rolls Boston Bibb Lettuce Salad with candied walnuts, sun-dried cranberries and yellow peppers with champagne vinaigrette Spinach and Cheese Stuffed and Breaded Chicken Breast Chocolate Mousse with chocolate cake pieces, chocolate tuile, whipped cream and a raspberry. It was delicious! I looked on the Match Meats website for the recipe most resembling our main course Saturday night. I am posting it at the bottom of this page. Spinach Stuffed Match meat Chicken1 lb. Chicken Match Yield: 5 2) Divide Match Chicken into 5 equal portions. Flatten slightly. Spread 1/5 of the spinach mixture on each portion. Fold over and shape to resemble a stuffed chicken breast. These can be frozen for later use. 3) On medium heat in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Lightly sear the Match Chicken Breasts. Finish off in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Serve with your favorite rice or Cous Cous dish.
