Sheryl, can you post your veggie vinadloo? I'm making indian food next weekend.
Becky, This was Stephanie's Pork Vindaloo Recipe. When I've made it with pork or chicken I have followed her recipe almost exactly (although I add either water or broth to have more sauce) & it comes out wonderful! For the veggie one, here's my changes, I hope it makes since!
Veggie Vindaloo
I doubled the amount of all the spices so I could make more sauce. I didn't marinate the veggies, just let them cook in the sauce until they were tender. I sauteed 3 cloves of diced garlic, 1/2 diced onion & the spices in olive oil until the onion was soft. Then I added the tomatoes and veggie broth and stirred until well blended. Then I added all the veggies & let it cook until all the veggies were tender. If you like the sauce thicker, at the end I stirred in a little corn starch in water to thicken the sauce.
I used :
1/2 of a large can of crushed tomatoes instead of fresh
2 cans of vegetable broth.
I didn't measure the veggies but I used about
1/2 head of cauliflower,
1 red & 1 green bellpepper,
1 large onion (diced large about 1 inch square),
1 large portabello cap,
1/2 medium eggplant.
1 huge sweet potato that I precooked in the microwave a few minutes to make it easier to dice & to be sure it cooked through in the sauce.

I know how you feel. I think the next few years are going to have me wishing longingly for the preschool/kindergarten days of boyfriends and girlfriends. Ah, the good old days. During Hailey's first round of pre-school, she had 2 boyfriends. On Valentines day, one boy bought her a bouquet of suckers and the other a box of candy. Proving once and for all that with men it isn't what you have to say, it's all about how you look.
I spoke with the moms of both boys and one had no idea Hailey couldn't speak. All she knew was that her son was in love with her and that he thought she was pretty.
Gosh, I love that kid!
She had me cooking by 10:45 this morning. Although she says she cooked all by herself. She wanted a veggie pasta for her lunch, that we had to eat in the dining room by candlelight! 
That's a teen girl for you.. I'm telling you hormones really mess up girl's brains!! Very smart of you to stay far away from that!
He is so hard to buy for and I finally feel like I have a gift he is going to really enjoy. 
He's matured and grown so much in the last few weeks, I'm very proud of the young man he's become.
I just relied on Lindsay and her wonderful upkeep of the thread.
