Guest guest Report post Posted May 31, 2003 thanks to all... what is the MasterCook? if I want to suggest a recipe, can I just type it up? or will everyone ignore it if it's not in a certain format? mike ===== my trade lists http://www.geocities.com/realshows Calendar - Free online calendar with sync to Outlook. http://calendar.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 31, 2003 MasterCook is a software database program strictly for recipes. Of course you could develop your own in Access or another db program, but why, when MC is terrific. You can can and import photos, too, which is particularly helpful for baking. For the list, you only need to type up your recipes using the MC format. Look at how the stuffed onion recipe is organized, with the title, ingredients, description, etc. and follow that. BTW, I've been terribly lazy as a member of the list, and promise that this summer I'm getting my rear in gear to submit my favorites. Shame on me so far!

Guest guest Report post Posted January 8, 2004 I'm considerably > lazy and looking for easy to make vegan recipies. Hopefully I'll find > a few here. The easiest vegan " recipes " for someone who states she is " considerably lazy " are to just eat raw fruits and vegetables. I always thought I had to be cooking something, but it's not true. There is nothing wrong with just eating raw fruits and vegetables. Of course, when I am wanting something easy to " cook " , I will throw a potato in the microwave. I put vegan margarine (Earth Balance) on it, some salt and pepper and since I live in New Mexico, some green chile too. I live alone, so eating like this is not a problem. When I do get the urge to cook I make enough for several days. It's hard for me to cook for just one, so I always end up with lots. This is not a problem, though, since I will either eat it up in the next few days, or put it in smaller containers and freeze it. Yesterday I ate a bean burrito. I had frozen the tortillas I bought. I also had cooked up a bunch of black beans and frozen them too. I found some rice stuff in my freezer that I threw on there too and microwaved it. I ate it with salsa. Good luck to you!

Guest guest Report post Posted April 7, 2004 Craig; I actually don't work in any way involved with the casinos. I am a biologist. To be honest, I am constantly shocked how few biologists I meet are veg. Seems like they would be the ones with the inside scoop. How do you like casino work? I am sure you have some pretty crazy stories. Here it's a pretty good job once you get past being a drink girl. peace; Sara , " Craig Dearth " <cd39@e...> wrote: > hello Sara > so what do you do in Vegas? > I live in Perth Western Australia > and guess what > I am a croupier at the Burswood Casino > =o]] > and a vegan > =o]] > all the best > Craig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest, I am constantly shocked how few biologists I > meet are veg. Seems like they would be the ones with the inside scoop. I get that. I turned vegan when I was doing my biochemistry PhD, and although the group was very good at picking veggie restaurants or non-food-based christmas outings, I don't remember many vegetarians. And I agree: it's hard to see animals as different when you work every day with the knowledge of how similar we are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted April 17, 2004 I work as a biologist. All spring, summer and fall we are out in the field all over the southwest literally getting paid to hike and camp. We work really long hours in very hot conditions, but for me, it's the ideal job. So, I can't add good thoughts about Vegas per se. Ah well.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 22, 2004 Hello Bruce, so glad to hear you have found the "right" way =o]] I am reading a book at present by John Robbins Called "the food revolution" what you have said is true but there is so much more if you can get a copy I think you will be surprised how bad off the world really is and how much the Vegan Diet will help with everything I highly recommend this book all the best Craig Dearth Bruce [asanamale]Friday, May 21, 2004 2:24 AM Subject: newbieHi. My name is Bruce and I live in N.W. Indiana. I was lacto-vegetarian for about 7 months before making the change to a vegan diet. I did not include much dairy when I was doing that.I became vegetarian due to health concerns and my health has improved.I am no longer obese. I have chronic obstrucive pulmonary disease and I am convinced my vegan diet helps reduce the symtpoms.Since becoming vegetarian I am now more conscious of "healthful" foods Vs. all the lesser ones, and I think about the plight of animals and other people much more than I did before. I do not think too many people will soon change to being vegetarian.This is guaranteed so long as so many vegetarians are obese.I am personally convinced that in spite of the environmental, animal cruelty, and enough protein for the world concerns few will change for those reasons. I think the best argument for becoming vegetarian is improved health...for some of us anyway.That is my own belief.Sometimes I just lurch and hope all are well.BruceTo send an email to - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
