Another Newbie

February 22, 2003

Hi there and thanks to Laura for the invite. I guess the easiest way

to introduce myself is to answer the Questionnaire.

The Questionnaire

1) What is your name or what would you like to be called? My name is

Carrie. I get Carrie or Care. I will also answer on line to Elwood.

2) How old are you (roughly)? 38

3) Where do you live (city/country)? I am originally from

Fredericton, New Brunswick (on the East Coast of Canada) but have

been living in Southern Ontario since 1985. I'm about 45 minutes west

of Toronto.

4) How long have you been a vegetarian/vegan, or how long have you

been interested in cooking vegetarian food? I have been a lacto-ovo

vegetarian for 3 years now and as time goes on, the lacto and ovo are

less and less. The thing I'm having a really hard time with is

cheese. I love the stuff. And some chocolates aren't vegan. I am

thinking about cutting these things out of my diet but having a bit

of difficulty. I'm a vegan work in progress. For the animal's sake.

5) What is your favourite food or meal? I love Mexican food, Tex-Mex

and I've been enjoying Middle Eastern food more and more lately.

YUM!! Unfortunately, not a lot of it is low-fat.

6) Why did you join the group? I got an invitation to join and since

I'm currently following the Weight Watchers plan, I thought it would

be good for some fresh ideas and new insights.

7) Is there anything specific you want to get out of the group?

Hopefully some good conversation, meet some like minded people and

share some great recipes.

8) Tell us a few of your favourite things. I very much enjoy cooking

and experimenting with new recipes. In my spare time, I can be

found " surfing the net " , reading, walking, skating, and occasionally

watching a movie or TV show.

9) Do you know of any internet sites or other groups which maybe

relevant to members? Other people have mentioned

http://www.fatfree.com which is good. I also find

http://www.vegweb.com to have loads of recipes

10) Is there anything else you'd like to share with the group? Hmmm,

not that I can think of off the top of my head.

Thanks for taking the time to fill out this questionnaire.
