The Questionnaire

 

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

My name is Maureen

 

2) How old are you (roughly)? 37

 

3) Where do you live (city/country)? Chicago, IL

 

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

been interested in cooking vegetarian food? Since July 10, 2007. I

have never been a big meat eater but also never made a concerted

effort to not eat it at all, until now. :-)

 

5) What is your favourite food or meal? I'm not sure...I like a lot

of things but I don't have any specific faves right now. I did make

an enchilada casserole a few weeks ago that was OUTSTANDING (I will

post the recipe)!

 

6) Why did you join the group? I want to learn more about the

dietary aspects of being a vegetarian -- I don't just want to " not

eat meat " , I want to learn the right and healthy way to eat as a

vegetarian. I do know a lot about nutrition, but I want to learn

more. Especially about vegetarian children -- I havea 4-year old

daughter who still eats meat about 3-4 times a week at school, but we

do not cook it at home.

 

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

Recipes, knowledge, friendships, support.

 

8) Tell us a few of your favourite things.

 

Olivia - my 4-year old daughter; she is the best part of all of my

days.

Murphy -- my 4-year old doggie; he is a lovely little guy and takes

great care of Olivia and I. Even though he's only 8 pounds he takes

his role as " man of the house " very seriously!

Volunteering - I have done several " volunteer vacations " in other

parts of the world and also volunteer with some local agencies (food

bank, Habitat for Humanity are the most recent).

Being Happy - I don't have everything I want, but what I do have

makes me happy. I have a good life and spend most of my days with a

smile in my heart.

A good book and a glass of wine -- I love to read and I love wine

too...just a glass and a book make for a good evening!

 

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

relevant to members? Not off the top of my head....

 

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

you for having me! I can't wait to read more of the posts and learn

from all of you. I hope that I can contribute as well!
