Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Hi, I am Pat (santbrown), ovo-lacto vegetarian, currently living in southern Ontario. My usual cooking style now is Indian Vegetarian, with excursions into Thai, Indonesian, and Chinese. When I am being 'unconventional' and in a hurry, I make a light meal of Italian-style pasta dishes. My soups - also good for light meal - come from *anywhere* but are almost always spicy.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Sorry! I'm a bit tardy for the roll call, but it was Friday night, you know...I was out causing a ruckus as usual...hee hee Okay, personal info answers: Name: Alison, a.k.a. ana_spryte, Arachnie, Alley Cat Location: Petaluma, CA (northern section of SF Bay Area) Veggie type: I guess technically I am lacto-ovo-veg. Although I don't eat eggs by themselves, I don't mind them being in baked things, and I'll eat the little bits in fried rice and such. The thing is...well, I just don't eat much anyway, and most of what I do eat is raw veggies, for their low level of certain nutrition elements. (I just love being vague...) Group question: Well, I don't really cook. I live at home currently, and I'm not home for meals often. When I lived on my own, I didn't do much cooking other than using the microwave or steaming up some vegetables. (See my above comment about not eating much - it follows that I wouldn't cook much, either.) But when I have had occasion to cook, I prefer Italian/Mediterranean, or some types of Asian.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Beatrice, I think it depends on where in CA. People outside of our lovely state seem to think it's the same all over, but as we well know, that's not true. There are parts of CA that are more redneck and conservative than the deep south! But I live here in the wonderfully tolerant (most of the time), hippie-dippie, bohemian, laid-back, open-minded, completely gay (as some people seem to think...LOL) tree-huggin'-yet-still-SUV-lovin' San Francisco bay area. Vegetarianism is alive and well around these parts, and is probably nearly on par, percentage-wise, with meat-eating diets. Lots of great veggie restaurants, and almost all of the stores carry Amy's or Cedarlane products, or other similar veggie/health-wise/organic products. busweetky <busweetky wrote: You'd be surprised how un-vegetarian-friendly California is.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Hi group. I'm Tempest, 28 and married with zero kids and one black lab named Billy, living in Cleveland, OH but originally from Kingston, Ontario. I've been a veggie for 7 months now and am doing quite badly at it, mostly because of my refusal to cook for myself. I've lived on a lot of Indian take-out and Subway sandwiches and am now trying to branch out by trying some of the strange-looking containers of grass and weeds I find in my local grocery store in the hope that I will soon be able to embrace all vegetables. I recently discovered taboule and hummus on french bread, so I suppose I'll stick with that for a few months. For variety I've also found that a few corn nuts on top add extra zest. Yummy!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Hi Everyone! I'm Giovanna (guimaraes17) I'm 28 and currently live in northern New Jersey (not vegetarian friendly at all btw. We have one Whole Foods about 1 mile from my house - Thank God! - and that's it! I'll be moving to southern California next year and expect a better vegetarian experience there. Cooking style? Hmmmmm. I love Persian (without the meat) and Italian cuisine. Persian is my absolutely favorite though. I love Greek foods too!

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Now I hope this " roll call " thing doesn't become a mandatory check- in, like it has in other groups I've belonged to... I'm cheryll, 48, married with one son age 6. Still here in " lurk " mode mostly. I would describe myself as a vegan " wanna-be " , I try to avoid animal products as much as possible, but can't always do it, due to practicality. I honestly don't have the time to cook every single thing from scratch, though I try, and I ALWAYS read ingredient labels. My cooking style is whatever suits me at the moment, and tends to be swayed by what I have on hand, and also what my kid will eat (unless I feel like cooking a separate meal)...Right now I'm really into Middle Eastern and also Mediterranean cooking. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 I just joined this group, so I'll jump in at this " roll call " . I am not a vegetarian at this time, but am interested in learning and in finding recipes to incorporate into our life. My dh and I have some very good friends who are vegetarians, and dining with them and recent discussions have gotten me thinking about our lifestyle. I know in my heart that if the meat we eat was not so benignly prepackaged, but instead had to be gotten by actually seeing the living animal first, I would have adopted this lifestyle years ago! Right now I am sure that my dh is NOT interested in giving up meat, but he does enjoy vegetables, fruits, and grains very much and I've recently introduced some tofu dishes to him and have cut our meat intake quite a bit. Looking forward to what this list has to offer, Judy cheryll [naturalist_44240] Monday, June 23, 2003 6:52 AM Re: ***roll call*** and group question Now I hope this " roll call " thing doesn't become a mandatory check- in, like it has in other groups I've belonged to...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Hi Karen. Wow I'd like to try an Ethiopian dish. Thanks for the chapati recipe...I put it in the files. All of Nicciis Greek recipes are posted with " Greek " in front of the recipe title. They are throughout the files section...most in the " main dishes " , " snacks " , " desserts " and " dressings " files, if I remember correctly. Sorry if this message is too late...if you have any particular recipes in mind that you can't find, let me know and I'll get it for ya...just give me a day or so to get back atchya. Shawn ----Original Message Follows---- " bluetulipz " <bluetulipz I'm karen (bluetulipz), just turned 25, and reside in Alabama. I've been a lacto-ovo for over 5 years and TRY to avoid dairy and eggs as a rule of thumb. I use yogurt, low/no fat dairy products, and some fake meats that contain egg whites. The only time I buy butter and eggs is when I make cookies at X-mas. Cooking style? Hmm. Altered Momma style southern cooking and a few things thrown in. I try to take some of the meals I grew up on, make them more healthy, compatible with vegetarianism, and use other spices and flavoring not generally used down here. My folks have an organic garden so I get all kinds of fresh stuff in the summer and fall. I love ethnic food: Mexican, Chinese, thai w/o fish in everything, Indian, Japanese, Ethiopian, Italian, etc. I love trying out new food and recipes, which is why I like this group so much. I really like using Indian and Italian spices/herbs. Still fighting tofu and given up on tempeh...will perfect tofu one day I like to see recipes with things in them I like, but haven't put together myself. I've been particularly interested in Niccii's recipe posts lately. Have yet to try one as of yet, but will have to at some point. Shawn mentioned adding them to the archive and I would love if they were some how marked as Greek.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 My name is Lori. I live in Boise, ID, where I work in the IT department of a major computer chip manufacturer. I have been a strict vegetarian for four or five months. Basically, I started eating veg because my father was placed on a Vegan diet as part of a holistic cancer treatment, and, as a former professional chef, I wanted to be able to help my mom out with recipes and menuing ideas. As a result, I found myself eating mostly Vegan. The difference in my life since then has been profound. By eliminating fatty meats and dairy products from my diet, I've lost 1 pound per week since going veg, for a total of 20 pounds now. The female problems I've suffered from since I was an adolescent (I'm in my 30s now) have completely disappeared, and I'm experiencing much, much less pain from arthritis. In looking for unique Vegan recipes on the Internet, I clicked on some of the " wrong " web sites, started doing some research, saw and read some shocking, horrible and disgusting things, and my reasons for maintaining a strict vegetarian lifestyle now has a lot less to do with my health and a lot more to do with animal and human rights. Over the weekend, I read " Fast Food Nation, " and that book opened my eyes even more. At this point, the only reason I can't call myself a Vegan is because I still eat some honey (so heard to find wheat bread without honey) and because I still can't make myself ask what's in the bread and pasta when I go out to eat. I eat exclusively Vegan at home (except for the honey in the bread), and I'm looking into switching my dogs to a supplemented vegetarian diet. I'm currently feeding Solid Gold dog food, which at least isn't tested on animals and doesn't contain the mystery ingredient, " meat by-products, " which at least means that they aren't being fed euthanized pets or road kill. So far, my husband has expressed very little interest in going veg. He has cut back on red meat, eats a lot more fish and seems mostly willing to eat whatever vegetarian food I put in front of him. I will not prepare meat in my kitchen anymore, so if he wants it, he can either go out to eat, or he can cook it himself. So far, he's been very good about supporting my choices, and his concern for his own weight and health may bring him around eventually. SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 While the roadkill possibility is pretty gross, I have to question the idea of putting animals on a vegetarian diet. The thing is, animals are pretty much meant to eat meat. Some animals live solely off of meat, eating little or no plantlife at all. If you were to study their teeth, digestive systems, etc, you'd see at least some of them were designed for it. I feel that humans shouldn't eat meat because we are of higher intelligence and have the ability and physical capacity to subsist off a meatless diet. Animals live by instinct, and in the wild eat what their body tells them to eat, which is what they need for health and energy. However, if people feel the need to do this with their pets, it's not really my place to say anything, except that please check with your veterinarian to make sure your pet is getting all the nutrients it needs from meatless food. After all, your pet doesn't really have a say in what it eats, so it's up to us as the owners to do what's best for it!
