digest#205: diabetic vegans, veg sushi, adhd, curries

[Guest guest]

Bron, i have a few friends that are diabetic

and they would get so much guff over being

vegetarian! One is practically vegan because he

had to eat all non-fat and his son was a vegan

already so it was easier at meal times. There is

a lot of crap info out there telling diabetics they

can't survive on a vegetarian diet because the

veg diet has too much carbs and not enough

protein. i am so glad you are learning differently

on your own and have the goal to spread the word

to others. Bravo!

 

Bron, i know getting the tastebuds for sushi can

take time. It did with me when i first tried it i

was like, ew gross. i was not used to the sweetish

rice vinegar used to season the sushi rice. But now

i love it. My favorite rolls are:

~ Shinko: just a piece of pickled sweet raddish wrapped

in rice and nori.

~ Cashew Broccoli: slightly steamed crisp broccoli

with chopped cashews wrapped in rice and nori.

~ Spicy Veg Tempura Roll: tempura cooked eggplant

and zucchini wrapped in rice and nori and seasoned

with a fiery chili sauce.

 

i was gonna say, Bron, i think your dh sounds wonderful,

even with his illness and challenges. i personally love being

around people like that.... i find their honesty refreshing

and i get easily bored with people who don't shock me

every once in a while. [gemini thang] Bet he is a hoot to

be around. Also you are blessed to have eachother in

love and understanding. namaste

 

Hi Pat... yes, please. i am sure you have shared most

if not all on your wonderful veg spice group, but others

here might like them, too. Of course i think everyone

should join your veg spice group also!

How cold it is! Even the lights are cold;

They have put shawls of fog around them, see!

What if the air should grow so dimly white

That we would lose our way along the paths

Made new by walls of moving mist receding

The more we follow. . . . What a silver night!

That was our bench the time you said to me

The long new poem -- but how different now,

How eerie with the curtain of the fog

Making it strange to all the friendly trees!
