HI GUYS!

 

Time to check in again so we know who is active etc. But just to keep this

interesting, why not see if you can also give some kind of response to these

questions:

 

1. Did you join this group to help you BECOME vegetarian (or vegan) - or were

you ALREADY veggie? (Additional comments would be helpful.)

 

2. Did you join this group to be able to access the recipe Files or is that just

a bonus?

 

3. Are you now or were you ever a lurker? If so, why? If not, why not?

 

OTHER THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS?

 

Thanks, everyone! Let us know if you're out there!!!!

 

Best, Pat (Co-owner with Piers)

1. Did you join this group to help you BECOME vegetarian (or vegan)

- or were you ALREADY veggie? (Additional comments would be helpful.) - Pretty

much vegetarian and hoping to go fully as soon as I can

 

2. Did you join this group to be able to access the recipe Files or is that just

a bonus? - a bonus!

 

3. Are you now or were you ever a lurker? If so, why? If not, why not?  -

currently a bit of a lurker as there has been rather a lot of stress at home

recently and I tend to go into myself at times like that

 

OTHER THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS?

 

Just to stress that I love the group!

Hello,

 

Paula from Toronto

 

I was already a vegetarian when I joined the group. Have been for 23 years

(since 15 but we rarely ate me@t at home). I joined to get access to the files

and to learn new stuff from everyone else. I mostly lurk due to lack of time. I

have two boys (6 tomorrow and 4 in July) and am expecting my third in two days.

They keep me hopping! i work full time but am on maternity leave (yeah) and

won't have to go back until September 2010.

[Guest guest]

I was already a vegetarian- i joined to see the recipes that came in the

posts and to get inpsired to eat good food! and yes, i have been(am) a

lurker since i have had some major surgery and barely get on the computer

most days ....not recovering well.

Hello All. I joined this group because my husband is vegetarian (Dr's Orders).

At the time I was on a low carb diet so cooking meals was a challenge. Your

recipes and comments came in very handy for this beginner.

 

I am now virtually meat free and have found may yummy ways to prepare the soy

meat substitutes and recently discovered tempeh. I suppose I should share some

of our ideas and concoctions. Especially the southwestern wontons with spicy

cilantro dressing.

 

I'll try and not be a lurker and will participate when time permits. Thanks!

Already. And I love spicy food, so it was a natural.

Just a bonus, but ia whopper.

No, but as it's garden-panting time, I have less time and energy for

posting right now.

Yes. This is the best vegetarian list on the whole 'Net. I mean that

quite sincerely, and I've belonged

to lots and even run a few over the years. YOU FOLKS ROCK, and you can

quote me in the blurb!

I would be a vegetarian If I was not married to a confirmed meat eater.

Too old and tired to cook two meals :-) But we are eating more veggies.

Your posters are an inspiration for me.

Your recipe section is a bonus for me.

1. Did you join this group to help you BECOME vegetarian (or vegan) - or were

you ALREADY veggie? (Additional comments would be helpful.): I was already a

veggie.

 

 

 

2. Did you join this group to be able to access the recipe Files or is that just

a bonus?: Bonus of happiness!

 

 

 

3. Are you now or were you ever a lurker? If so, why? If not, why not?: I'm a

bit of both. In the beginning it was due to getting feel for the group and know

it's due to my work schedule.

Aloha....vegan and joined for spicy, new recipes and general discussion. Often a

lurker only because there is always someone that answers as I would anyway.

Rarely access the recipe file unless someone mentions a recipe that is on file.

I do check in daily just to see what is happening.

Everyone, Hi!

 

To be frank, I am a longtime vegetarian and I joined to make friends and find 3

spouses for my offspring! Son would like to meet someone under 25. Daughter has

a 2 yr old and finds most men are picky eaters and don't like salads! My 31 yr

old daughter is a widow with 2 children. My oldest vegetarian son already found

a vegetarian spouse--and we're all in Missouri!

 

I like the recipe section......and I have a nice garden this year. I'm

personally a vegetarian for spiritual reasons.

 

Pat--thanks for Roll Call!

Eat avocados and live long!

1. I joined to get some good recipes and ideas and answers to questions, etc on

vegetarian cooking.  I was already (still am) a pescotarian.  (is that a word?)

 

2. The files are a huge bonus.  I don't think I knew about them before I joined.

 

3. I've mostly been a lurker.  I haven't had any recipes to contribute,

regrettably.  I actually do very little cooking.  I'm hoping the good-sounding

recipes will motivate me  )

Joined the group after I was already a vegetarian (ovo-lacto). I like spicy

food and grow

a number of hot peppers (habanero, thai, jalapeno, pequin, chiltepin, serrano

and more)

A bonus

Mainly a lurker. I would like to contribute more but have just been too busy

up to this

point. Really enjoy the recipes on the list and I have them all saved in a

 

mailbox waiting for the day when I can organize them for myself.

The eating out part is getting easier especially here in Vancouver. Family

dinners are still potluck, with my vegan dishes usually being the ones that get

eaten first! When visiting other parts of Canada, especially away from major

urban centres, being vegetarian is often a huge challenge!*

Hi everyone,

 

This is Marie, alive and well and living in Haarlem, Netherlands.

 

 

1    I have been a vegetarian for more years than I care to admit to (LOL) so I

joined the group for information rather than support in becoming a

vegetarian. Since joining I have been tending more and more towards eating

vegan.  The information and recipes from the group have been largely responsible

for that change.

2    I was aware before I joined that the files existed so that was a big

motivator but definitely not the only reason I joined the group.

3   I haven't been as active recently as I was in the past.  Time just seems to

run away from me these days.  I guess it's only fair to say I have been lurking

for the last little while.

Hi Pat,

 

I joined because I am about 50/50 and wanted to find and share recipesand

seek general advice. No chance of becoming 100% unless I want a divorce -

LOL!!

 

I have found the group both informative and helpful.

Hello,

 

 

 

1. I've been a veggie for 21 years, so I already was when I joined.

:-)

2. The files were a bonus, when I joined it was for recipes, and

friendly discussion.

3. I've been lurking for some time now; time hasn't permitted anything

more these days.
