RE: Thanks for the chuckle Chanda :)

[Guest guest]

Dear Chanda,

 

Thanks for the chuckle

I enjoyed reading your reply to Lynn, lol.

 

As a kid, I was brought up to like vegetables because my mother followed the

Buddhist faith.

But I went to a Catholic school(i.e. St Michael's School) where meat was

introduced to me.

For me, eating veg only was like " ducks to water " but like you, dairy

products is too hard for me to go without

Living in Europe makes it so difficult, if not an impossible feat.

The temptation is too great for me to tackle at this moment in time which I

am not proud to admit.

Sure, I am aware it is much healthier to leave dairy out of my diet.

Maybe, just maybe, one day in the future I will be able to overcome my

inevitable desire of devouring dairy products.

But for now, I will do what Donna does (i.e. eat everything in moderation).

 

Like Lynn, I seldom post recipes and I am a frequent lurker, lol

I find the recipe folder very helpful especially when I am stuck for ideas.

 

But heh if I have something worth sharing, nothing is gonna stop me posting

it here ha.

 

I only cook stew in the winter as I think it is the most economical food to

eat in winter.

The house could do with the extra heat, ah

Who cares if the windows steam up and you can't see through it

The steam form the stew pot also help to humidify the house, another added

bonus.

 

For me, soup is also for the winter months.

 

 

Best Wishes,

Wee

Re: yet another new member Lynn

 

 

Hi Lynn,

Welcome to the group!! So glad youmade it here! I have responded to your

post below in between the lines )

 

I have belonged to another group, the SBD vegetarian group, but it was dead

except for spam for the last year at least. Then someone from this board

posted to it saying what a great board this was, so I had to check it out!

And many thanks to the poster who did that, I'm terribly sorry, don't recall

the name.

 

I am a 13 year lacto-ovo vegetarian - because of animal rights issues,

environmental issues, health issues... OK, I've been reading vegetarian

times for a long time, the longer I do, the more reasons I have. Should be a

vegan, for all that I would like to believe in, but it would be too hard to

go that far, as I am the only one in my social set that is even veggie.

Plus, at this point in my life, I think I could never give up cheese, but

who knows, 14 years ago I said I could never give up beef.

 

I hear ya Lynn! In fact, well, I am 1 1/2 years a vegetarian, like I always

say, I know people in this group probably get sick of hearing it, I became a

vegetarian for spiritual reasons, then it became an issue for health

reasons, and now it is just to piss everybody off. Seriously though, I know

what you mean about you would rather be vegan but it would be too hard to go

that far, me too. I love cheese just too much. I would really like to

practice eating habit the way the Jainism Buddhists do, and only eat the

part of the plant that does not kill the plant, but for this I would have to

give up garlic and onions, yeah ... like that is really going to happen.

 

I didn't select the right email preference upon joining this group, so I was

OVERWHELMED at the volume of email, but I scanned each one!! It's nice to

see this is an ACTIVE board, and not just with spam!!

 

We re very careful with spam here. Very little if any gets by our wonderful

moderators.

 

I am a soup/stew lover, and I saw that there was some mention of the

vegetarian slow cooker cook book. I would like some feedback on that from

someone who has used it a bit.

 

I don't know about the book, but I just made a stew recipe in my slow cooker

and it was such a hit that the non vegetarians in my house forgot that it

had no m & #t in it! LOL It is in the recipe files, I forget what I named it,

no wait, I remember it was crockpot stew, but then my spell checker insisted

we change it to crackpot stew, so either one is fine.

 

anyhow, just wanted to introduce myself. I may not post much, but you can

believe I'll be lurking....

 

well lurk on sista! but do throw us a recipe everynow and then!

 

hugs,

Chanda

 

 

Lynn
