Guest guest Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I have to say english is not my talking language, so please be patient and understanding while reading my message and dont laugh at me if it's clumsy. :-) My name is Tyron(Tyson-Ronnie)Lee (you can call me Leo, that's my zodiac) from Beijing, China, male, a newcomer here, but not a tyro on veg. I am a lacto vegetarian, and part time lacto-ovo, eating eggs only at breakfast. I am also a sugar abstainer, so sugar-free yogurt and chewing gum are my favorites. Reasons for that include weight loss (I weigh 126 lbs) and teeth safeguard. And I am also a marathon lover, my best record is 3hr 40min. I jog every other day for 21 kilos at the speed of 13k/h. Regularly I fast (no banning on water, but only pure tea and boiled water) for 10-12 hours once a week, almost at the weekdays (I am not a muslim, not buddhist or taoist either, but I am inclined to Tao). I have been on fasting for exactly five years and on veg since 1st May, 2005. I had kicked the habit of drinking coffee three years ago. I go to work riding racing bike and climb the stairs instead of taking elevator. " Running rather than biking, biking rather than walkng, walking rather than sitting " is my principle, So you see, that's me.  When it comes to recipe, I would be very proud to offer my own. That is PYVERTA (pie-ver-ta), which stands for the combination of: Peanuts (or almond, walnut, hazelnut) Yogurt Vegetables (green pepper, tomato, potato, cabbage, broccoli, carrot are my favorites) Eggs Rice Tea (green tea is the best) and Tofu (soybean curd) Apple (red fuji)  Sorry I am no enthusiast for cooking, so that my recipe is pretty simple, but I can live on this. Of course, this list wont be all. For example, sesame, Jew's-ear, red date, shallot, peach, mandarin and orange are also my love.  You know, living in China is good and bad. Saying good because vegetables and Tofu are really cheap, and especially Tofu is available almost everywhere, where you could buy it either from supermarkets or even small retailers. Well, actually my everyday meals are random combinations of any kind of bean products and any kind of vegetables. The dark side is that vegetarians only appear in the internet or TV program, I have not met any comrades in my daily life. We have strong culture, tradition and experiences on this, but unfortunately, mostly lie in the medical books or regimen works written by some historical figures thousands of years ago. Sigh...  All right, that's my introduction, hope you like it. Have a nice day. _________ 好玩贺å?¡ç‰ä½ å?‘,邮箱贺å?¡å…¨æ–°ä¸Šçº¿ï¼? http://card.mail.cn./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
