(Apologies to all Buddhists) IMHO Rogue Ales are among the best. But if you ever get a chance, do try Black Butte Porter by Deschutes Brewery -- awesome and my favorite ~ and if you love stouts, their Obsidian Stout is one to be reckoned with.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I hope it is alright that I have cross-posted this message to the other vegetarian communities. I have been an active member of them all for a couple months. Now, it's time to shatter your mental picture of me. For starters, don't let the spelling of my name fool you; I am male! I think I mentioned on one list that I live in New Hampshire, USA. Rather cold this time of year. I am in my early 30's and have been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 10 years now. It is fermented dairy products (kefir, yogurt) and egg whites that keep me from going fully vegan. Every meal but breakfast (a berry smoothie with rice protein powder, a banana, homemade oat milk, and homemade yogurt) is liberally spiced and diablo'd (just made that word up, meaning HOT stuff is added). Anyway, these groups are like a wonderful second family! If I ever make it out to your respective necks of the woods, it would be great to meet for lunch/dinner at the veggie restaurants about which everyone raves for their parts. In the meantime, for the Oregon folk, I'll keep you in mind as I raise my rich glass of Rogue Chocolate Stout! -Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi Erin; i think it is great you x-posted to all your favorite veggie groups. Saves time. With your name spelling i always assumed you were one of the gals here; my son's name is Aaron. So, with your spelling you must be quite Irish, right? [Erin is the word for Ireland in gaelic] i love Rogue ales. My favorite of late has been the Dead Guy Ale. i haven't tried the Chocolate Stout yet, but will have to soon. ~ pt ~ Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain.

[Erin is > the word for Ireland in gaelic] Actually, only German and English blood. My mother, sort of a hippy at the time, chose it because the books said it meant " peace " , and seeing as I didn't kick her in the womb, she thought this was quite appropriate. I like it! > i love Rogue ales. My favorite of late has been the Dead > Guy Ale. i haven't tried the Chocolate Stout yet, but will > have to soon. Yes, good stuff. Do report back. Likewise, I will have to try some of the others, including Dead Guy Ale. They don't have them all at my local beer supply, but they have a few. -Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Erin, Interesting post! As to yogurt and egg whites, there is a soy yogurt made in several flavors; I'm not sure what it is that keeps you hanging on to eggwhites, because there are many substitutes that can be used for them...but oh well. :>) Bron On 1/6/06, truepatriot <truepatriot wrote: > > I hope it is alright that I have cross-posted this message > to the other vegetarian communities.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 My 2 yr old has to be completely dairy free (she can't even handle goat's milk) and we've found that most soy yogurt still has caesin in it. We have found a vegan yogurt at a health food market though, so it's out there. I've also found vegan " shakes " that taste a lot like kefir at the same store. meg southernflower wrote: > Erin, Interesting post! > > As to yogurt and egg whites, there is a soy yogurt made in several > flavors; > I'm not sure what it is that keeps you hanging on to eggwhites, because > there are many substitutes that can be used for them...but oh well. :>) > > Bron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I have seen the soy yogurt in the grocery, but have yet to try it. It is certainly more expensive. I also make my own yogurt. But, it's not just yogurt, but also kefir. You can supposedly kefirize soy milk as well, but the grains won't continue to grow and may even die off eventually. As for egg whites, they are an extremely low-calorie, high-protein food source. I try to shoot for a high protein to calorie ratio in my dietary choices. -Erin , <southernflower@g...> wrote: > > Erin, Interesting post! > > As to yogurt and egg whites, there is a soy yogurt made in several flavors; > I'm not sure what it is that keeps you hanging on to eggwhites, because > there are many substitutes that can be used for them...but oh well. :>) > > Bron > > > On 1/6/06, truepatriot@m... <truepatriot@m...> wrote: > > > > I hope it is alright that I have cross-posted this message > > to the other vegetarian communities.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 It's true that the soy yogurt is more expensive, and I haven't tried it myself. I weaned myself off cow's milk yogurt and haven't been wanting yogurt since that time. Which is good since the soy is more costly. Interesting about the kefir, didn't know that. Nor about the eggwhites, for that matter. There are a lot of plant based sources for protein, too, like soy, for example. But, to each his/her own. Just sharing some alternative thoughts. :>) Bron On 1/9/06, cronzen <truepatriot wrote: > > I have seen the soy yogurt in the grocery, but have yet to try it. > It is certainly more expensive.
