Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hi Gang, Thought I'd just simplify and post the same post here as on ; most of the contents apply across the board. (For the pineapple bread recipe, go to Donna's group, though! LOL) Hope everybody has a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New Year too! Bron ---------- Forwarded message ---------- southernflower <southernflower Dec 22, 2005 1:31 PM Re: digest#341: gods & oats... or is it goats? *lol* I'll just pop in and say " hey " to everybody for a minute. :>) The pineapple bread sounds luscious, and I think I've got the ingredients in my cabinets right now! I think I'll try and make it later on today. I'm making all my Christmas cards and it's a very time-consuming (though very, very enjoyable!) process. This is why I haven't said anything (or even been online) for days and days, and won't be much until after Dec. 25. I plan to make my teacakes...making them vegan...for presents to hand out at church on Christmas, as well as the cards. For an early Christmas self-gifting, I bought the following two books, have just finished reading both of them--and they have made me really rethink the whole concept and commitment to being vegan: Matthew Scully's " Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy " (I literally stayed up all night last night to read this book, and the conclusions it draws are magnetically compelling--if you have even one drop of conscience/love/mercy in your heart, you cannot escape the call to veganism, nor do you want to! There are no photographs, but plenty of haunting word pictures that will fill your mind. Mr. Scully is a Christian and so very eloquent in his case for the animals, and indeed for we humans. A MUST-read, IMHO.) Bob and Jenna Torres's " Vegan Freak: Being Vegan In A Non-Vegan World " (I would add that this book has some bad language in it, but if you can ignore that, this is a great book--surprisingly hilarious, laugh-out-loud and fall-in-the-floor guffawing is inescapable. As well as the overall witty tone, there are many tips for dealing with non-vegans in a nonconfrontative way, surviving meals with omnivores, getting along with vegetarians who think you're wacko for going vegan, etc. etc. They show you how to strike a balance between " I'm vegan and you should be too and if you're not you're an idiot and a murderer " and " the shy vegan " --which they say they were once, as well as shy vegetarians. They're very understanding of the different stops on the path leading from vegetarianism to veganism, having made most of these stops themselves. Very reassuring. Plus LOTS of general info websites, as well as blogs and stores online, and support groups too--also online. HIGHLY recommended for anybody with even a bit of curiosity about vegans and how they live in this world.) Okay, well, my table full of card scrap and stamps is calling me now, and I must adjourn <g>. Hope everyone is " sim-m-mply ha-a-aving a Wonderful Christmas Time! " right about now-- Merry Christmas!
