Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hi Donna and welcome to the group. I'm forwarding your answers to the questionnaire (below) - the question of mixed households (vegetarian and not, spicy and non-spicy) is a recurring theme! We have plenty of recipes in our message archive and/or in the Files section - all vegetarian, mostly vegan - you should have plenty there without being bored. No need to keep a low profile here! Enjoy - Piers (co-owner with Pat) Donna's answers to the questionnaire: > > 1. Which description BEST fits your situation? > > - I am a vegan who eats no eggs, dairy or usually no honey - with the random egg in baked goods > > 2. What are your reasons for choosing a vegetarian way of life? These might be one or more of: > - Avoidance of killing animals > - Animal welfare > - Personal health and well-being > - Weight loss > - Concern for the environment > - Religious, spiritual and/or philosophical reasons > - Dislike of the taste of non-vegetarian food > - > Which one is your MAIN reason? - philosophical > > 3.

Do all the members of your household follow a vegetarian diet? no If not, do you cook non-vegetarian meals for the others?- yes > > 5. a) Are you careful to ensure no hidden animal ingredients are present in prepared foods or packaged foods you buy in a store? yes > > b) Are you careful to ensure no hidden animal ingredients are present in food you eat out (e.g. in a restaurant or at the home of a friend or relative)? yes > > 6. Do you find you need to make an exception to your diet for medical reasons (e.g. gelatine in capsules) or other reasons? Could you give an example? no, but I am not very dogmatic > > 7. Have you any recipes which you would like to post on our list? yes Are you looking for any recipe in particular? no > > 8. Do you like hot and spicy food? yes If so, what is your favourite? middle eastern and much anything else If not, what kinds of food do you enjoy? > > 9.. Do you read a lot about vegetarian topics (in books, magazines, on the web)? yes > > 10. What is your MAIN reason for deciding to be part of our group?

Is there anything else you would like to tell us (such as your country or region, household pets/companion animals, hobbies, activities, interests, indoor and outdoor sports, etc.)? Let's hear it: I live in Jerusalem. we are originally from San Franciso. I have been vegetarian most of my life. My husband is a committed carnivore. We have been together since we are 17 and 18 and have been married 35 years. I knit and cross stitch. He gardens.We have 3 children and 4 grand children. One of our grand daughters has celiac disease so I am becoming more creative for her.. I am the only vegan in the family and I try to keep a low profile. My meals are usually mostly vegan with a main course for my husband. > Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
