Being vocal

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. I have been lurking for a few weeks and taking note

of all of the excellent recipes.

I am a vegetarian of one month, previously a huge omni. I have decided to go

vegetarian primarily for health

reasons as diabeties, high blood pressure, a variety of cancers, and

heart disease are common on both sides of my family. I figure I've

had 22 years to eat however I wanted to, so now it's time to get

serious and think about the future.

 

I'm slowly trying new fruits and veggies that I never gave a chance

earlier. I still can't handle mushrooms, but I enjoy mushroom soup so

I think it's probably the texture that I can't " stomach. " Either way,

I'm still learning and trying, so that's good. I've always loved to

cook, and I'm one of the few male members in my family (and circle of

friends) that can actually bake, so that has only helped me more.

 

I have plans on going Vegan soon, and since I've found giving up meat

really hasn't been a problem, I have started to give up eggs, milk and

milk products, with the exception of cheese. I'll do it eventually,

but I'm one of those people that put cheese on everything, so it's

weird tasting things without it. In some ways I used cheese to cover

the tastes I think.

 

I can't wait to learn new techniques and recipes. After I tried

soymilk and found I actually liked the taste better than regular milk,

the sky is the limit!
