Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 I'm not sure if the Farmer's Market they have downtown goes through the winter. I've never been there so I'm not sure what kind of stuff they have. I should check it out sometime. Did I mention that I'm considering moving to the South Bay? Do you know San Jose very well?

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 I lived in San Jose 87-91. at that time downtown SJ was pretty cool. Affordable, victorians, you could actually walk places. The rest was mostly just sprawl. I remember Willow Glen being cute, but even then it was getting popular so it's probably stupidly expensive now. Don't know what affect the dot com boom/bust had on it. Laura On Dec 24, 2004, at 11:51 AM, Anna Blaine wrote: > I have no idea where in San Jose.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 hi everyone, hope you all had a good xmas. im now about to from this list, im not able to stick to a vegan diet. ive tried very hard but find it too difficult.ive been veggie for 15 years and find that very easy, so maybe the time is not right. however i would like to think i will give it another go sometime in the future. i look up to all of you, good luck. may talk to you again sometime. vicky x Jo bb <Heartwork wrote: Laura Thanks for the recipe. I use Ener G egg replacer sometimes - it seems to work okay. Jo - morgaana Tuesday, December 21, 2004 1:10 AM Re: Eggs Well, depends on what you're using the eggs for. Ener G egg replacer, mostly potato starch as someone mentioned, works pretty well for me when making muffins, etc. Vegan Vittles has a recipe for a mock egg salad made with tofu that I really like. (Ah, I had typed up the recipe. It's below.) This weekend I tried a french toast recipe also from Vegan Vittles. It was basically soy milk, whole wheat pastry flour and nutritional yeast whisked together and used as the egg coating for the bread. My only complaints with it is that I'd probably use a bit more flour to make it thicker (I don't like soggy bread) and possibly add a splash of vanilla.What sort of thing did you want to try and make?

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Hello James, I was craving the taste and the texture of the eggs... as i tried to make ample of tofu " egg " scramble recipes in the past. I added nutritional yeast, turmeric and everything possible that makes it taste like the real egg, but with no avail!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Good question James! It could be the omega 3 fatty acid, which can be much better obtained from lots of green leafy vegetables, ground flax seed, squash, cherries, kidney beans.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Lisar, welcome! I asked about eggs too when I first joined the veggie list. :-) I was particularly worried about cholesterol levels because high cholesterol runs in my family. Not only that, but I felt that my own cholesterol was higher than it should be for someone my age and with my eating habits. (As a comparison, my partner's cholesterol was about 30 points lower than mine, and we were both eating the same kinds of food.) I feared that high cholesterol was inevitable for me, and that following the RR program as a vegetarian might make a bad situation worse. I decided to trust RR and not worry about cholesterol, just to focus on getting the right amount of protein at each meal. That means when I have eggs, I have two AND I usually have cheese with it as well. About a year after I started RR, my doctor's checkup found that my cholesterol had dropped about 30 points so I was now comparable to my non-SS partner. I can't tell you how happy I was (and am). It validated for me that eating this way is truly taking care of my body, just like it feels. Hope my story helps reassure you! Blessings, Sharon lisarail <lisarail Wednesday, January 9, 2008 2:55:48 PM Thanks for the feedback It feels strange but nice to be part of an online community. A new experience for me! I know you all have so much experience doing this and I really value your opinions. Hmm I am in a bit of a bind because I understand why I should be taking it slow, over the past week I have spent hours on the website and reading through everything possible, I have also ordered the books again. The problem is I am really scared about re-introducing sugar back into my diet because I hate the cravings and the feeling of not being able to control it. At this point I don't feel like eating anything sweet which feels great and though I am down today I am hoping my moods will level out. I did have manuka honey on rye bread with hot coco and soy milk for a snack in the afternoon today and it didn't trigger sugar cravings so maybe that is a way of keeping sugar in my diet until I get everything stabilised. I am also making sure I have flaxseed oil every day and a piece of salmon every week for Omega 3's and the other vitamins and minerals recommended. Hopefully this will also help with levelling me out. At the moment breakfast for me generally consists of 2 eggs and homous on wholemeal toast or a good meusli with soy milk and protein powder. I love making smoothies but my blender is broken so that is on my shopping list. I find that eggs are definitely the thing that holds me for the longest in the morning but I worry about eating 2 eggs a day, it doesn't seem very balanced or healthy. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Anyway I have been having fun in the kitchen trying new spices and ways of cooking different beans, tofu and veges. I also bought some Quinoa which I will have a go with in the next day or two. Have any of you tried cooking with it before?
