Guest guest Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Hi everyone! As you see, still a young group (started 16 May) and therefore lots of new members continuing to join us ;=) So please forgive me if I can't get around to speaking with each individually right away - I will eventually, I promise! Meanwhile, please have a look around the files, the archives of messages, the links - and think about what you'd like to get out of this list and *start posting*. there's no point in standing on ceremony or being formal or whatever around here, cuz we're all new, every one of us! So just jump right in - come on - the water's fine *lol* As for me, if you wonder, I am yer intrepid leader, listowner/moderator, longtime veggie, and live in Canada now (but as you can tell from my accent - no? can't tell?) have lived all over. Especial welcome to UK and NZ and Oz members ;=) Right now I am looking for new lentil recipes - love lentils. You can do so much with them and they take on all the wonderful flavours of the foods you mix them with. They freeze pretty well, too, in most of their guises, and have the virtue of not costing a bomb for those who are on a limited/nonmillionaire budget ;=) Yesterday I cooked up a batch of good old-fashioned chilli non carne in the crockpot so that we can pick at it if the weather's too hot for cooking. But lo and behold it is cool today - around 16 C. this morning - so I can please myself *lol* I look forward to hearing from all of you! Best, greenfury (which has to be the silliest moniker I've ever used *lol*) / aka Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 I am not a new member, but I never completed the questionaire, so I thought I would do that; But first: Greenfury, I mistook your accent as being from Minnesota, sorry about that. Also, I assume your old fashioned chile con carne should have had quotation marks around it. What is your name or what may we call you? Doug Smith - you can call me Doug or just about anything you want. How long have you been a vegetarian, or how long have you been interested in vegetarian cookery? I am not vegetarian. I just love to cook and am looking forward to new recipes and ideas. Also, I am trying to eat a little healthier and eat a few more veggies. What country are you in now? USA What city or town? Cary, NC What age are you (just roughly, very roughly!)? Roughly 54 Why did you join this group (apart from receiving an invitation!)? To learn more about cooking. The Spicy part peaked my interest. What kinds of foods interest you most? Just about an kind. I love flavorful foods with lots of complexity. Is there anything you'd like to tell the group? Nothing comes to mind.

Of course, being vegetarian doesn't guarantee that either - lots of junk food out there for us to eat *lol* if we want to be foolish! My philosophy is to keep the sugars and fats down to a dull roar and to eat a balanced diet ;=) I also strongly believe that food should and can be enjoyed - and our family has long enjoyed spicy food, especially from Asia - hence this list! Soooo, no pressure to be a vegetarian ;=) Just enjoy the list and contribute when you can. We'll look forward to hearing from you about vegetarian spicy food!
