Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 That would be fun. i have only been to Eugene once, but it sure looked like a nice place to live. You all have a Trader Joes up there, and i am soooooo jealous. Do you have a Whole Foods or Wild Oats, too? What is the veggie community like in your region? ~ pt ~ P.S. i just loved looking at your cross-stitch work, Linda. i am also a x-stitch fanatic but i have yet to photograph any of my work. Each year a design a mini xmas stocking ornament for Yule gift giving, so i am busy stitching those up now.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I hear that a Whole Foods is coming here (Eugene) in 2007. Sherry? We just lost our two Wild Oats stores a few months ago. But Market of Choice has been even better IMHO and there are at least three of them in town. I go to Trader Joes just for specific things and discovered a vegan raw dough pizza crust which is lovely to use and so easy. They have two that are vegan, the corn pizza dough being my favorite. I tried the other one too, I think it was a herb and garlic one, but preferred the corn. We have a great vegetarian/vegan community. An educational network (EVEN) which puts on a program once a month to help people make the transition, a once a month potluck group, an activist group up on the U of O campus, and lots of people working in animal welfare. I love it. Met a new friend on this list that is in my area and we scampered immediately to our favorite restaurant, the Lotus Garden which is totally vegan and superlicious. We have lots of other eating places to go to for vegan foods, so of course you know that you can get vegetarian foods there too. We have a store that is called Sundance which is vegetarian and sells no meat products which is wonderful so that you don't have to see all of the dead bodies lying around. We have a store called the Kiva which has plenty of vegetarian food stuffs, but thankfully Market of Choice has really taken to heart our needs and is really a full service store for us. Thanks for the compliment on the cross stitch. Some of them are needlepoint...like the wolf's head in the sky. I just took the pictures a couple of weeks ago and put them on the photo thingie as I joined a cross stitch group and was encouraged to do so. It has been a wonderful experience and encouraged me to move on into different areas with the needlework. Eugene is a busy little hot bed of liberals and radicals too. But then it is a University town. linda " Whatever you do will be insignificant and it is very important that you do it.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Our safeway has a really good oriental food deli - if you eat meat. They consider chicken vegetarian. I had a couple discussions with the cooks there. Wrote a comment card and got a call that said " all you have to do is ask " . Asked again (twice) and was again (twice) that the chicken dishes were vegetarian. Sam On Behalf Of linda Tuesday, November 22, 2005 3:01 PM Re: Re: OT: another Oregonian! Ahhhh! I sorry.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Yes, and frequently these places also use a broth that comes from an animal making it not vegetarian and they don't get that since they left out the chunks of meat.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Safeway is a fairly bureaucratic entity. Rarely can local managers make marketing decisions without it having to go back to headquarters. But it does work to write suggestions. I repeatedly suggested to people in our Safeway that they carry a soy yogurt - they carried Nancy's dairy yogurt and Silk soymilks, so it should have been easy for them to get the soy yogurt from one or both of these companies - and Safeway was the only large grocery in town without soy yogurt. After suggesting it for about a year, they finally got in a selection of Silk soy yogurts. Only problem is, they cost about double what they cost at other stores. They'll eventually catch on, maybe.... Peace and love, Tom , " Samantha Lea " <saml@a...> wrote: > > Our safeway has a really good oriental food deli - if you eat meat.

I heartily concur with Linda, who introduced me to it -- the stuff is awesome! >we scampered immediately to our favorite restaurant, the Lotus Garden >which is totally vegan and superlicious. It truly is. DH prefers it to all of his m*#t dishes he gets at restaurants. My favorites are the sweet and sour (deepfried) nuggets (I believe flavored seitan), though Linda has a favorite that's equally good. And they even have a vegan " shrimp " tempura that's out of this world. Also lots and lots of entrees that don't resemble meat products at all. (I believe the making of vegetarian and vegan items to resemble meats is a Buddhist tradtion so that those Buddhists who do not eat meat for religious reasons can serve their guests something they're familiar with but that will not cause suffering.) Anyway, I was thinking, if those of you from inside and outside Oregon ever want to come to Eugene, we could all get together at Lotus Garden. >Eugene is a busy little hot bed of liberals and radicals too.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Sherry mentions the Lotus Garden and if we all ever have an Oregon get together and go there she has to sit at another table though.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I was in the mall last weekend (for the first time in a couple of years) and stopped at the little oriental deli type place. They were very up front when I asked if the chow mien was vegetarian. Doesn't have meat but is made with chicken broth. Was impressed by their honesty so thanked them and bought plane rice.
