Hello - no other humans

[Guest guest]

Jen,

Welcome!

 

Many (many!) years ago, I struggled to do the veggie

thing when I lived with my parents. After a few false

starts, at 14, though, I stuck with it. Before that,

my mother would try to convince me that fish and

chicken weren't really meat, or, in a school lunch

line, a hot dog would be handed to me.

 

That was eons ago! I now live with three cats, nine

turtles, two degus, and some goldfish. I hope to get

some zebra finches next week. No humans.

 

I am more likely to cook, really cook, more than one

thing at a time, for company. Yes, human company.

 

When I cook for me, and the recipe makes more than

enough, I cut the recipe in half, or plan to eat the

same thing... all week. :^)

Hi there, I joined the group a few days ago and have

mostly been reading...So I thought I'd post a little

intro.

 

I am 25 and tried a few times to go completely

vegetarian. Those times were when I lived with my

parents (who eat meat) during my college years and

high school. I've been living on my own for about 4

years now and a few months ago decided to try again,

since now I control what I eat.

 

There are a few meat items I have had an especially

hard time cutting out. But I am willing to wean myself

off these slowly.

 

Anyway, I live by myself with my 2 cats, no roommate

or SO, and I find that lots of the recipes are scaled

to feed a family of 4. Does anyone else in the group

live by themselves and have experience cooking

vegetarian for one person? What challenges/experiences

have you had?

 

Jen
