Ouch, that is a toughie...I love my veggies, but think I would be a mad woman at the end of the month if I had to pick just one veggie. So, maybe a stir fry with noodles and tons of different veggies, onions, garlic, nuts and peanut sauce. (did I cheat?) linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi everyone, I'm still here in Haarlem, Netherlands. I have been doing quite a bit of experimenting with new recipes/ideas recently. My husband is beginning to feel the effects of arthritis and the homeopathic doctor has recommended that he take a supplement called Glucosamine. As well as taking the supplement he has to change his diet to exclude many things including refined flour, all dairy products from cow milk, sugar and (the most difficult for him LOL) chocolate. He is still permitted goat and sheep dairy products but I honestly find it easier to cook vegan recipes and he can use the goat cheese on sandwiches etc if he wants to. In the past I have not cooked too many vegan recipes so I will have to try to adapt many of my old favourite vegetarian recipes and broaden my repertoire with some more vegan recipes. As well as rethinking my cooking I have decided to make another change in my life. This one will have much more far reaching consequences as I have decided to resign from work. I asked my employer about 6 months ago if I could work part-time (4 days a week) but permission was denied. Of the four people in our section one already works 4 days a week and one works 4.5 days but the new supervisor does not approve of part-time employees and will not allow anyone else to work less than 40 hours a week. The long working hours plus the travelling time mean that I am away from home for 12.5 hours a day. Add to this all the household chores and it makes for very long days. I turn 60 in a couple of weeks and I just don't feel that I can continue at this pace for another 5 years (or maybe 7 years - the Dutch government is considering increasing the retirement age to 67). As well as the long days I am also finding it difficult at work as the new supervisor treats his employees as " units of work " rather than as people so the stress is beginning to tell in the section. Hans (my husband) is on a low income as he works for a non-profit charitable organisation. We have discussed the consequences of my resignation at length and we both feel that living on an extremely tight budget is far preferable to me trying to continue working very long hours in an extremely unpleasant atmosphere. As I will be resigning I will not qualify for any government benefits so our budget will be VERY tight. However we both believe that there are far more important things in life than money. Of course I will look for other work, either part-time or closer to home, but realistically the chances aren't too great for 60 year old expats. We figure that if I do find a job it will be a bonus rather than something we are relying on. We have to give two months notice and I am planning to hand in my resignation at the end of January which will mean that I will be able to finish work at the end of March. Even if I handed in my resignation now it would be counted as having been given on 31st January. I know that my supervisor will make things unpleasant for me from the time I hand in my resignation to the time I leave so I figured I will wait as long as possible to tell him I will be leaving. One good aspect of having more free time will be that I will be able to spend more time posting to my various groups. I'm afraid that I have been very remiss in that respect recently but, until I am otherwise advised, I have to go along with the theory that there are only 24 hours in the day and seven days in the week (LOL). Cheers for now from Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 1. What is your name? [computer usernames are fine, or dare to be specific, we don't bite] Gayle 2. Where do you currently live? Connecticut 3. What sort of vegetarian are you if you were to choose a label for it? That's a good question. Not a fan of eggs and don't like milk never have, however If I am out to eat and something is made with eggs in it like say cake, cookies I would eat it although I don't cook with eggs or milk. 4. If you could only have one dish to eat for every meal for a month, what would you pick? That is a tough one. For almost 2 years everyday I ate the same thing for lunch. stir fried brown rice, veggies and tofu. I also love salad. gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
