Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Oh, those black bean burgers were great. We used one of our red onions and it could have been diced up finer, but they tasted great! Very filling indeed. Well, I guess I did pretty good shopping once I got to the store, I still spent over $60. I completely understand about the " not getting it. " I had dinner with my boss and her future dil (I'm making her bridesmaids jewelry) and when I ordered the Boca she said " oh, I couldn't be a vegetarian, I'm on a high protein diet. " Well, I gave her a short lesson on what types of food have protein. People really do believe that only meat has protein, they don't even know that many veggies are high in protein! Isn't it amazing that even a dietician hasn't educated themselves enough to know what a healthy vegetarian diet is! Denise , purplepassion <thelilacflower> wrote: > Let us know how dinner was.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 oh I so know where you are! My sister in law is a Martha Stewart wannabe, LOL <hope she doesn't read this> kids were always dressed perfectly and never got dirty while playing, LOL, perfect gardener, cook, pie baker, always on top of everything everywhere everytime. For the sake of this email I will call her Martha. Recently at my daughter's BD party Martha's husband, my bro in law, while talking to me realized a flaw in Martha I guess, as he felt threatened by my topic of vegetarianism that I was discussing with another guest. He said, "Martha is a vegetarian too." I looked at him straight in the eye and said <let's call him Ted,> I said, "no Ted, she is not. She eats chicken for God's sakes." and Ted says, "well she tried cutting out all meats but she couldn't because your body needs that protein, and she started getting headaches and passing out, so now she only eats chicken of all the meats." UGHHHHHHHH. I tried to tell him that there are so many protein foods that one never needs to eat meat. Geez, if you are gonna stay dairy even a glass of milk will do ya, let alone veggies. he told me I was wrong. OK..... whatever Ted hugs, Chanda - organic_homestead Friday, September 30, 2005 11:59 AM Report on Re: Denise's dinner Oh, those black bean burgers were great.
