Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Cheryl, Yes, they usually taste like everything but a potato. I sure do enjoy making my own oven fries. Whitney, I do the same thing. When I went to Yucatan I took lots of food in my suitcase, bread, crackers, peanut butter, etc. I bring my own food to potlucks at work like the one we are having tomorrow, I pick through the other dishes for tastes of olives and love it when they bring chips and jars of salas or hummus (yes, I have this place hooked on hummus). If I'm invited to dinner I bring a dish whether they want me to or not. If they love me they accept me and I change for NO ONE! Funny thing is, I always have a following of people telling me they wish they could be like me, or get away with that or eat like I do or learn to cook or I wish I could learn to speak up, etc. Well, I always tell them, be your own self, why do you have to " wish " ? You can believe in yourself and make any change you like that is going to make you feel better. Live and let live. I certainly respect others and if they have a dietary situation you better believe I will cook something they can eat and I would never play a trick on anyone like those people did Jeanne. Does your Mom think your husband lives on a lettuce leaf? For some reason many non-vegetarians are not used to anything much past the burger and fries theory and grains, beans, legumes, almost all veggies except for lettuce and tomatoes are just foreign to them. I have helped so many people over the years when they start on the veggie path, they will come to me and ask for help and the first thing they say is, I made this decision now so what will I eat besides a salad everyday for lunch and dinner. It's funny, when you go through our recipe files there is everything but a small dinner salad posted.....LOL Have a beautiful Friday Eve, Donna We gotta stop smokin', stop, stop.
