intro

[Guest guest]

Hi -

 

I recently joined. I have been a vegetarian for a long time.

Started experimenting in college after befriending a strict vegie

who was a great cook - she served the best marinated tofu I've ever

had!! At the time, I just stopped eating chunks of meat, except

burgers, didn't worry about fish or ingredients in things. It was a

half-hearted effort for sure! Then I met my husband, who had been a

vegetarian since high school. Our first date he took me to a

vegetarian restaraunt. We have been vegetarians ever since (we eat

dairy and eggs) & are raising a family. I am a mother of three -

two bio boys and one adopted girl from china. Both boys have asthma

& my daughter has eczema...so I've been reading the allergy info

with interest! Also, we are Jewish, so I'm thrilled to see the

kosher discussion and hello Dorith!! Also, I adore Indian food and

perusing the files, was happy to see reference to Linda McCartney -

I have two of her cookbooks that I use regularly. I grew up in

England, so love having access to some of my comfort foods in veggie

form!

 

I must say, I'm excited at all the diversity here. I look forward

to interesting discussions. I love to cook and am eager to share

food tips & get new recipe ideas.

 

Thanks for this group!
