Free-range chickens aren't treated this way, and their eggs are a bit costlier usually but worth some effort to find for just this reason. > The > conversations kept going, and going, and going. Yes, people do that. It's called nattering, and is social, and sociable. It is rather akin to the Japanese just sitting, not speaking, for the first twenty minutes of any meeting. They are waiting until everyone in the room is comfortable with each other's energy. While this drives many high-pressure business execs up a wall, it is a custom and works wonders for creating consensus. Demanding they quit it and get going with business at hand only destroys the chance to do any business at all. Relaxing, and opening up, helps everyone. > Finally I did some research and got an address to > write to petition against such cruelty. The > conversations stopped. And this is to be counted as a GOOD thing? LOL Rather than petitioning, which only kills trees and fills up landfills, I prefer to buy either free range eggs, or to otherwise boycott the cruel chicken farms and support the humane ones. I'm a lacto ovo vegetarian, and an inveterate natterer, too, by the way. One can hardly expect to be wholly free of mental tension. --H. P.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 The reason I said that is because Recipe Woman is hurt. I find that a few vegetarians are rude. If you put one ingredient that does not suit a few it is blown all out. Then you have people having to repeat, substitute. What joy is that? Ok, I can see certain ones point but it is said in a rude way. Is that necessary? What joy is in that? I thought I made my submission clear as to why I enjoyed not just receiving tried recipes. I understand why some do but the first letter asked we just do 2 or 3. I want more than 2 or 3. I would like to feel free to give more than 2 or 3. I am not going to carry on an argument over this. I feel I was polite in my response. I think you should reread the submission. thank you.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 that's the joy & challenge of <substitution>. I love recipe woman's recipes & always love looking for different ways to make a favorite dish that may have meat in it. Megan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
