Intro from Debra and JLyn also

[Guest guest]

Over 25 yrs ago the krishna's were having their festival fo the Chariots at

Venice Beach. I was fascinated and took off my skates and spent the day with

them. They gave me a nice cookbook, prayer beads (I still have both) food

samples and flowers. I decided if veggie foos could taste that good and they

were so willing to give me a book and welcome me into their festival, I would

try doing this for one month. I never looked back. Mt Mom has always been a

vegetarian but her food was so darn borning and I would always experiment in the

kitchen but didn't always know what I was doing. I taught myself just as JLyn

is doing and it really is fun.

JLyn has been so committed to sticking with this lifestyle and it's wonderful

she asks questuions.

Oh, the Krishna's have a restaurant on venice Blve at the border of venice Beach

and L.A.
