Thanks Gayle, I wish there was an easier way than one rasin at a

time! I can eat them faster than I could make them! I love pretzels

too, I'll have to try your method.

HI April:

 

I too love chocolate covered pretzels, laziness is how I came up with

breaking them up and mixing them into the chocolate.

 

I have never made chocolate covered raisins so I am sorry I was not much

help there.

-Welcome Sharon,

The " wonderful things " that you have heard about this group is true and

then some..LOL. Fantastic bunch with great ideas and recipes.

I have been a Vegetarian for 20+ years and have heard " what do you

eat? " so many times I've lost count. My favorite is " don't you get so

tired of eating salad? " ..tee hee

It is such fun to prepare a full course meal for these folks and watch

them enjoy..

Smiles and hugs to you from Colorado

Welcome Tim,

When I lived in the mountains I experimented with cooking on my wood

stove. It was great fun having an iron pot of soup simmering while

heating the cabin. I made a brown rice casserole day before that is

very much like your recipe. Mine was baked of course but yours looks

very good.

Have fun with the recipes in the files. So many great ideas.

Smiles and hugs from Colorado

Hi everyone! And hi Heather!

 

I am not new. Just under a different email address. I haven't

posted here in a while but when I did it was under my Kyrene nick.

 

I'm 28, vegan since this past February, and live in the Boston area.

 

I had a nightmare last night that someone made me eat chicken when I

was drunk and I subsequently got sick. Anyone else get those?

Bleeehhhhh.

You made me do it <smile> I looked up feral and found

that I actually knew the meaning:

" Existing in a wild or untamed state.

Having returned to an untamed state from

domestication.

Of or suggestive of a wild animal; savage: a feral

grin. "

Think you will have to give up the wood stove and

gather dry twigs and start your fire on the ground

LOL! Well, guess the heat is getting to me. Have you

noticed how much more unpleasant it feels when the

forcaster says " temperature in the 100's with a heat

index of 105? Kind of like that nasty wind chill news.

Thanks for the welcome! I do so love cooking over an open fire! Untamed sounds

perfect. One of my daughter's and my favorite open fire (or stove top) meals is

cooking at least 4 root vegetables together (parsnips, potatoes, carrots,

rutabagas, onions, sweet potatoes, etc) in a pan of water until soft, then

mashing them together and either eating them with a little butter, or frying the

mash in a bit of butter first. We either have it with a protein side dish, or

grate some cheese on it to make it a meal on it's own.

I've already enjoyed reading alot of recipes on this list (and can't wait to

try them)... and I haven't even looked in the archives yet! Kathy

Greetings -

I am looking forward to membership in your group. I just turned 60, just

retired from teaching, and just shifted to a vegan life style. It feels

good to live more in harmony with my values of walking gently on the Earth

and honoring all beings. I have never been a good cook and don't want to

spend all day in the kitchen. I am struggling with preparing easy balanced

meals. Your recipes look great! I am eager to indulge in the benefits of

your creative experience. Lynn
