Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 I agree on being tolerant. I feel most people don't understand our way of eating but they make an effort to please us when possible. Yesterday at our company potluck one woman made Philippino rice noodle pancit and put some in a special container for me before she added chicken to the main dish and the next woman made me 3 vegetable eggrolls before she added the shredded beef for the others and another woman pulled a meatball out of the spaghetti for me.LOL I brought that home for my nephew who does eat meat since the meatball cooked in the sauce. I think they try hard. I always take a tasty vegetarian dish and keep the recipe in my purse. Know what? There are always at least 2-3 people that ask for a copy by the time the potluck is over. I'm here in L.A. and it's a melting pot of many cultures and that's the fun part. I learn how to cook a new vegetable that is foreign to me almost everytime I shop in an Asian market and there's a little middle eastern market down the steet and the owner taught me how to make baklava and gave me a sample of some awesome incense to try.

In my community it is hard to find a Jew that is not successful, and is not hated because of it by someone. Blessings, Maria/Chanda That's funny. In my community there are lots of Jew who are struggling to make a living. I don't have the answers to anti-semitism or to hatred of any kind. But we do live in an imperfect world and the best we can do is to try to make it better in whatever ways we know how. In my own world I am struggling with not being judgmental. It's hard to find others who eat as I would like to (tho gratefully we can find each other) but I live with meat eaters, and I feel it's my personal journey to accept each person fully. I'm working on that. It's a lifetime challenge. Klara Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. Learn more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
