oh vegetarian and veggie-friendly friends

Anyone have any good dishes to make with seitan (wheat gluten)? I am having a lunch of some seitan simmered in veggie broth and soy sauce, mixed with sauteed broccoli. I wish it were tastier. It's a nice change from tofu, though. I'm going to visit the Whole Foods more now to buy some of these alternative-protein sources that aren't readily available at my supermarket.

Unfortunately, I'm a bit afraid of tempeh now because of the unfortunate extreme stomach pain that took me to the emergency room last summer. I don't think the tempeh I had for dinner that evening was the cause of it, but that's what I threw up at the emergency room, so now tempeh is linked with vomit in my brain. This is very unfortunate because I like tempeh, and one of my favorite dishes at a local restaurant is a black beans and tempeh thing.
