Guest guest Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Greetings, In my nutritional studies, food combining includes info about meat eating; also for those with a family history of diabetes or hypoglycemia, they need to eat includes alittle protein with their foods (meaning nuts and seeds). I will do some research on the questions on B12. Have a good day, Marlene rawfood , " mavalkyrie <mavalkyrie> " <mavalkyrie> wrote: > What is food combining? Is it worthwhile?

If you use too much baking powder, that can cause a pretty nasty flavour... BTW, I've ordered from veganstore before and they do not specify a delivery date or time. Depending on whether what you ordered is currently in stock, then it can take some time before you get your delivery. I'm not sure what delivery company it was sent through - Parcel Force? I think, in which case, if you are out then you can pick it up from their depot, but I don't think it was the Royal Mail, so no convenience of your local PO, I'm afraid... Also, i've had a copy of Linda's 'taste of the middle east' for a little while & there's some rather tasty recipes in there & it's easy to use with good clear instructions. I haven't used any of her other books :-) Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Carole, I'm pretty sure that thats what it must be! I was very generous with the baking powder because i was unaware that it had that aftertaste. I also posted the cookie question on a cooking group i belong to and got the same response. Although you were first in responding so thanks >BTW, I've ordered from veganstore before and they do not specify a delivery >date or time...I'm not sure what delivery company it was sent through - >Parcel Force?

I had a look to check and it is parcelforce. Luckily i do live fairly near to the depot so would be able to pick it up. Definitely worth a try. I wish i could save them the time of delivering and just offer to pick it up Gonna try to get to the health food store tomorrow and whatever i can't get there i'll try to get from the vegan store. >Also, i've had a copy of Linda's 'taste of the middle east' for a little >while & there's some rather tasty recipes in there & it's easy to use with >good clear instructions. I haven't used any of her other books I've got her baking book (on Monday) but haven't used any of the recipes yet as there seems to be a bias for dried fruit which i don't have in at the moment. I can't buy anymore books because i've spend too much money online of late but its my birthday next month so maybe i'll strongly hint at it!

I know the Valley lines are known for being unreliable but I never had any problem with the service when I briefly lived in the valleys and they aren't too expensive (so long as it isn't a Rugby day). I don't know about the bus service, when I lived in the city it was in Cathays (on the border with Roath) and so I was always able to walk into the centre. Beanfreaks used to be very good back then and used to sell various vegan home made pies, but they stopped by the time I moved into Cardiff. I haven't been back there for a few years so I don't know if they've improved. All of which is probably of no interest or help, but it was fun for me reminiscing.

Having said that i haven't checked it since going vegan so maybe i missed some stuff. I'll have to go and have another look. When i mentioned Whitchurch i never thought anyone would answer so this is kinda cool!

I use the train to get into town if i'm not with my boyfriend (we live together but he's out 3x week at American Football training). It is very cheap and fairly reliable. I think the main trouble i have shopping in town is with getting it back. I have arthritis, and have no strength. I can't carry shopping bags out of the shop, let alone to the train station. This has now been made worse by whiplash injuries. However, i was lucky enough to drag my boyfriend shopping this weekend and got him to carry the bags to the car! So my back was saved! >Beanfreaks used to be very good back then and used to sell various >vegan home made pies, but they stopped by the time I moved into >Cardiff.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 > I think the main trouble i have shopping in town > is with getting it back. I have arthritis, and have no strength. I can understand that, even though Central station isn't too far from Beanfreaks it is still a bit of a walk that has even got the better of me at times. > They didn't have any pies just the usual stuff, but i managed to > get some > tempeh which i don't know what to do with! The pies were nice too, I really wish they hadn't stopped. Still, it is still a fairly good store compared to some places. I'm in Kingston-upon-Hull now (though contemplating moving, including the possibility of going back to Cardiff) and since my local health food store closed we don't have anything near as good as Beanfreaks. For some things we have to travel 50 miles to York or Leeds. If it's the Tempeh slices I would fry it and use it like bacon in sandwiches. I must admit I'm not really much of a fan of the blocks of Tempeh, but I'm sure there a lot of people on here who will be sending you plenty of recipe ideas now. > It was freaky and fun for me too! > i hope none of you guys are internet stalkers! LOL Well if you read the thread started by Saorise's email sent to the wrong list you might think that way, but really there's nothing to worry about. On a list this size there's a good chance of a few people knowing a city the size of Cardiff, and it is such a lovely place too, I really miss it.

I haven't opened the packets yet, but someone on another group coincidentally posted a recipe for kebabs, or kabobs as they call them so i might try that this weekend. >On a list this size there's a good chance of a few people >knowing a city the size of Cardiff, and it is such a lovely place too, >I really miss it. >Michael I guess i'm used to groups being mainly populated by Americans.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 The simple answer is to buy veg and pulses and make up loads of stuff to freeze - curries/pasta sauce/pasties etc. Beanfreaks in town does stock some vegan produce i.e. vegan sausage rolls/pasties etc in their fridge section. however, almost all the things they sell in my opinion are over priced. Far better to take a day off to bake/cook and freeze. Nice to know there is a vegan in the area ( I live up the valleys but commute to Cardiff daily ). > Peter H -------------------- talk21 your FREE portable and private address on the net at http://www.talk21.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 Thanks for the message Peter. I completely agree with you over the prices. I am pretty good - IMHO - at cooking and way prefer something i've made from scratch than prepackaged food. When i visited beanfreaks the fridge and freezer section had big gaps, which is probably a good thing. So i only got a few burgers and sausages, the rest was all things like nutritional yeast flakes, miso etc. The problem i have with cooking in bulk is that my freezer is tiny and i share it with my partner. At the moment its full of frozen veg, ice cubes and frozen tofu. But having said that i should be moving soonish so we'll have to buy a freezer then. Luckily i really enjoy cooking so at the moment i don't mind too much cooking fresh every night I also like knowing that there is another vegan in the area! I know someone from another group who also lives nearby and has just become vegan, like myself. Think i'll email him about this group because i've found it to be very useful. Have a nice Sunday, Laura ----------- Take a look at my : My online diary is at: http://laurakate01.diaryland.com/ ----------- " A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 HI Cathe, the old coconuts are the brown ones. The " green' coconuts that I've seen are white, but usually someone has cut on it by the time I see it. Finding them are tricky. Depends on where you are. Health food stores don't necessarily carry them. In the Detroit area I saw them at a produce market, but in Ohio I haven't found them yet. cathe <cathe wrote: Can anyone tell me if there is a particular food dehydrator that would be better to start out with? I looked on eBay and found several that have an adjustable thermostat, and that is what I want. Other than that, does it really matter the brand? Also, I will ask again: can anyone please tell me how I tell a young coconut from an old coconut? Are young coconuts sold in the grocery store or do I have to get one at a health food store?

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hello there, everyone. I answered these questions and then thought that I would ask my own. Although a staunch vegan and animal lover, there is an issue that I am grappling with that I would love to get other people's opinion on... The topic is zoos. I would imagine that as a vegan I should be officially opposed to animals kept in captivity. And I am, to a certain extent. However, part of me also thinks that the one of the best ways for youngsters and people in general to understand how beautiful and amazing these animals are is to see them. I actually used to work in a small zoo when I was younger, and believe that is where much of my appreciation came from...There is something completely different about being able to see these amazing animals up close that just can't be captured by a picute or documentary. Now, if we all had the opportunity to visit these animals in their natural habitat, I'd say close all the zoos. But since we can't...I wonder how other vegans feel about this topic. And by the way, I am totally against animal circuses or anything like that capitalizes on animals for our entertainment. But my question is, if a zoo is known to be well maintained, to provide as natural an environment as possible, and to truly care about the well-being of their animals (as well as where they got them!) are they acceptable???? I would really like to hear a response from anyone who has an opinion on this, whether for or against, zoos as I am really struggling with this one internally. Thank you in advance for your responses. Take care of yourselves and each other. :-) Renae annamky <anamaria wrote: 1)Does anybody know if MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE is a vegan ingredient? 2)Are Corn Flakes cereals from Kelloggs vegan?

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hey there - all a zoo really displays is how cruel humans can be. You're not showing kids 'wild animals', you're showing them prisoners. Would you keep black people, or Chinese people in a cage, maybe a really nice cage, to show kids what these people look like? Just like there's lots of ways to find out about other cultures, there's lots of ways to find out about other animals... My two cents. =) - Dave - <renaerokicki " annamky " <anamaria; Tuesday, September 02, 2003 12:46 PM Re: questions > Hello there, everyone.
