Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hi all ~ Since it's the start of a new month and I know we have some new members, I thought a " roll call " would be in order so we know who all is here and where we're at. Another group I'm on does this on a semi-regular basis and I always liked the idea. So here we go... Your name: Your location: How long a vegetarian: I'll start... Cindi Davis, CA (just west of Sacramento) Been strictly vegetarian almost 2 years now (Thanksgiving is my meat free anniversary!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hi Kym ~ That's great that you were able to trade chores for meat. How inventive! I never was fond of seafood so that's never been an issue. Being where you're at, that probably makes it even harder!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hi This is a great idea as it has got me out of lurking mode and hopefully others too! I am Carolyn from Liveprool England, a strict veggie for about 15 years, aspiring to veganism but not quite there yet, I can do without milk and cheese, only eat a few eggs, and try to rely on as few processed foods as possible, but there seems to be lactose in almost everything, at least over here in the UK. However, sadly, I do need to lose weight, and that is why I joined this group. Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Don't be sad! At least you are taking steps to lose the weight you need. You'll feel better along the journey. I've lost 17 pounds and I can feel a difference even though I have more to go. Cindi Carolyn <veggiekat wrote: Hi This is a great idea as it has got me out of lurking mode and hopefully others too!

I never was fond of seafood so that's never been an issue. Being where you're at, that probably makes it even harder! Cindi, My mother never knew that was the trick! Carol (Stepsister) took advantage of that and the fact I was 4 years younger. I still think it was fair trade! Staying away from seafood when I live in a Coastal town is difficult. Especially since EVERYONE that visits immediately wants to have that fresh seafood that is so abundant here. I have found there is no substitute for fresh fish and chips or clam chowder. Although I must admit that I never liked the actual clams and I would pick them out, but the flavor of clam chowder or clam dip. Sigh. Last summer when my parents were visiting and there were days the ate fish every day (they live in the desert) I even tried the beer batter dip for tofu to see if it would scratch the itch. I think if I had frozen it, and cut it into narrow strips it would have been better. I settled instead for deep fried veggies, though yummy, I am now on a more serious diet! excess don't cha know!
