August 2006 Roll Call-Christie

[Guest guest]

Hi Christie,

 

When I read about the posts of others and their lifestyle changes, I am a

little envious sometimes. I get stuck in the cheese rut because I like the

taste...mainly string cheese or feta are about the only ones I eat. I don't

drink milk, but I do eat some yogurt or frozen yogurt/ice cream once in awhile.

I have tried some of the herbal teas, but like my old standby green tea. I also

drink mostly black coffee or iced coffee.

 

The " ice creams " that you plan to make sound yummy...maybe you will share the

recipe

Vegetarian for 39 years, transitioning gently into vegan ie once the

parmesan, feta and halloumi cheese in my fridge are used up they will

not be replaced. I stopped buying dairy milk a few years ago and I'm

on my last pot of yoghurt. I'm not too keen on most of the vegan

alternatives so I shall just need to look for a different way of

eating, particularly in terms of treats and desserts. I have a recipe

for cashew cream which I plan to try out and also one for cardamom and

rose ice cream. I certainly don't want life to become too austere and

boring so I am determined to be inventive and resourceful in terms of

my cooking.

Hmmm - I love cappuccino but that will soon have to go as most places

only offer a soya milk alternative which I don't like (I use Tiger

White which comes from Spain and is made from chufas which are sedge

roots). Hate tea but drink a lot of herb and fruit infusions - Red

Zinger, Wild Raspberry, Cranberry and Apple, Peppermint and Liquorice,

Rosehip and Hibiscus, Lindenflower are amongst my current favourites.
