Welcome to Suzanne! ;=)

[Guest guest]

Hi Suzanne,

 

I'm Pat and I'm co-moderator of this group - it's great to have you join us!

Check out our files for some good recipes - and please let us know the kinds

of things you are looking for, okay???

 

My dh and I have been veggie, more or less (okay, at first not strict), for a

couple of decades or so. Although we tend to avoid eggs and dairy,

especially at home, we usually call ourselves ovo-lacto vegetarians. (We're

good at that, but would be hopelessly failed vegans, I'm afraid *lol*) But there

are vegans on this list and many of the recipes I post are vegan (you can

always use cow milk instead of soy and real cheese instead of soy cheese). I

tend to like my food spicy - cooked up a huge pot of mean chilli today and am

planning curried eggplant for lunch tomorrow ;=) I do so love my food, sigh!

 

I'll look forward to chatting with you on the list. Don't forget to post

often!!!

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)

Hi! Thanks for the welcome. It looks as though this board has been kind of slow

lately. I looked through the archives a bit though...interesting stuff.

 

I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for. Comraderie? Validation? I'm curious

how other people decided to become vegetarian. It came upon me kind of suddenly.

LOL!

 

I don't think I could ever be completely vegan, but it might be something to

work towards...
