[Guest guest]

Thanks for inviting me, Robin.

I've just read all the messages and I got a very positive vibration

from this group.

I'm a 44-year old mother of two, living in Athens, Greece, a lacto-

ovo-vegetarian since 1988. I almost always cook from scratch, I have

no liking for cans and pre-mixes, as I am very concerned about the

crap these people put inside, and I do try to buy organic produce

whenever I can find it and afford it.

I find eating animals very wrong. Most of my friends and family are

meat-eaters, because in Greece vegetarianism is still looked upon as

weird, and I never preach or make comments on their lifestyle, and

never make propaganda about mine unless asked (I've learned this

lesson early on!) But I am still amazed at the way so many people

just don't make the link, and pretend to love animals and then eat

them, or love their dogs and say " oh what a cute little lamb " and

then don't mind this cute little lamb being butchered and eaten.

My mother is like that. She could never harm any animal, she feeds

the strays, but still she eats meat.

 

The problem is that we don't have to do the killing ourselves

anymore, and most people don't have any imagination.

 

As I saw that some people are positively interested in crockpot, I

wanted to make a gift of my personal crockpot recipe collection, a

long labour. (Not the sweets,though, since this is a vegetarian

group, and sweets are allmost all vegetarian (not if you're vegan, of

course), so there is no point of talking about vegetarian sweets. If

any of you wants this file, I can send it to you. It has a hundred

recipes for applesauce and applebutter and some other nice things

too).

The dilemma is that if I made plain text files, they would be very

difficult to browse through, as they contain very many recipes, not

only a couple per file.

As it is, they are in Word format, fully formatted, with headers, so

if you click on Document Map, you get a list of links on the left of

your window and you can quickly go to any recipe you want. Without

this, I think the files would be very complicated to use, almost

useless.

On the other hand, this makes for bulky files. Is this okay? If you

think they take too much space, please feel free to delete them, or

make any changes you see fit.
