welcome and intro of myself

[Guest guest]

Thank you, glad to be in touch with some other vegetarians! A brief

intro

about me: I grew up in the Deep South (GA) which means that I had

fewer

options for diverse vegetarian eating when I first went meatless...I

think I

broke my poor old grandmother's heart when I told her I couldn't eat

even

her vegetables because they had hamhock in them! She didn't

understand that

meat seasoning was still meat! laff The first two years, I pretty

much ate

nothing but spaghetti and cereal! But, I just celebrated my 9th year

at the

beginning of this month, and I truly believe that my horizons have

been

VASTLY broadened by this lifestyle choice (as one veg-cookbook author

says,

meat eaters are constrained by the main dish and two sides whereas

vegetarians can have a smorgasbord (spelling) of various dishes

without

being locked into traditional boring meals!). I cook for a meat-

eater who

does NOT feel the same about vegetarian cooking however - hopefully

some of

you will be able to expand my repertoire so that can be worked out.

Cheers,

Camille
