Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Shari,

and I have lived in Kansas for the past 10 years or so. I grew up and went to

college in Iowa.

I now live with my husband, 2 daughters, age 6 and 3, 2 cats and 1 dog. I am

a knitting fanatic, and also spin (yarn). I work at 911, so I have a crazy

schedule most of the time. So sometimes I will check my e-mail daily, and other

times I won't get to it for days at a time, but I always will eventually

respond.

I have been thinking about vegetarianism for almost as long as I can remember,

but never really implemented it. I occasionally would have meatless meals, but

growing up all my relatives were farmers, and we would get beef and pork from

them cheap/free, so it was always on the menu. And then after I moved out it

was just easier to do what I knew, and my husband is a huge meat eater. In the

past few years I have been thinking more and more about it, because most meat

just grosses me out. I started doing some research to start adding more

veggies, etc to our diet, and found out how many recipes there are to have

without meat that I would enjoy. I think my biggest obstacle has been just not

having the knowledge on how to make other things.

Thanks for letting me join, and I'm excited to learn as much as I can.
