1) What is your name or what would you like to be called? Gosh, how about

" linda " , with a little l

 

2) How old are you (roughly)? Yes, it has been at times a rough life and I am

over 18

 

3) Where do you live (what country - what town, city or region)? Pacific

Northwest, where it is currently raining....webs grow between our toes here

turning us into ducks...hint hint hint

 

4) How long have you been a vegetarian/vegan? Vegetarian for probably 20 years,

mostly vegan for a couple of years and a total vegan about six months, no animal

products or by products in my house except probably for whatever has been used

in the processing of my furniture. All non-food products also vegan and never

tested on animals.

 

5) What is your favorite (vegetarian) food or meal? I love it all...but there is

a Vegan restaurant in town that orders wheat gluten type things such as beef,

chicken, shrimp, pork...it is great and I am attempting to learn how to do that.

I love rice, beans, tofu, vegetables, and I use fruits to cook with, but rarely

eat them raw...they give me heart burn.

 

6) Why did you join the group (apart from receiving an invitation)? To have an

avenue to exchange ideas, recipes, and experiences.

 

7) Is there anything specific you want to get out of the group? Hopefully some

ideas and just to know that there are others out there.

 

8) Tell us a few of your favorite things. I am working on farm animal welfare

issues. Just beginning to work for feral cats where they are trapped, spayed,

and returned to their regular life outdoor so they aren't trapped and killed. I

read copious amounts of books for research into animal welfare. Love reading. I

camp. I love hearing about people who are also working on issues to do with

animals...gives me hope that there are compassionate people abounding. I love

doing needlework of all types as it forces me to sit down and relax.

Wow, aweseome! I've been ovo-lacto for 17.5 years, but don't know if I

could ever broach the vegan thing... what made you go vegan?

That's really inspiring... I work with a parrot/bird rescue. Isn't it

amaing how many veggies are engaged in rescue?

 

Hope to see you on, and hope you like some of my recipes!
