To get you started, why not tell us:

 

* your name or nickname - Barb

 

* where you live (continent, region or city, whatever) - St Charles, IL

 

* your age group - teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s,

70s, 80s or more (congratulations!)? - 50

 

Also:

* Are you vegetarian (or vegan), still working at

it, or still thinking about it? How long? - Been cutting back on meat for

quite a while but my doctor suggested I try harder due to my health problems.

Overweight, asthma, high blood pressure and I don't have a thyroid.

 

* Are you the only veggie or wannabe in your

household? How many others? - My husband is very supportive so at home we're

both cutting back on meat ... slow but sure we're doing it together. Right

now I'd say 4 dinners a week is vegetarian and the others is mostly turkey

(ground, turkey brats, turkey sausage, etc)

 

* Do you do the cooking or is it shared? - When he's home he does the

cooking but most of the time I do it mainly during the week. When he works one

day

on the weekend we'll go out for dinner that night but the day he's off then

he'll cook.

 

WAIT! Anything else you would like to tell us? This is your

Big Chance!!!

 

I get an hour off for lunch and I used to eat out everyday with a friend of

mine. That caused big problems with my weight. She recently retired so I've

been taking my lunch. Lunch ideas that doesn't require warming up much is

something I'm looking for. Something quick and simple. So what I need help with

to pursue being a vegetarian is ... ideas with every meal.

 

As for my personal life .. married for almost 24 years, no kids but we do

have two cats, Buddy Holly and Sammy Hagar. They're brothers, 7 years old and

very active at times. They're great company. My job consists mainly of a desk

job but I do get around the office with filing, going to the counter, etc.
