Sorry for very late reply, Maggie. Some of us were planning a Christmas get-together for vegans across the central belt at L'Artichaut earlier this month - until we found out that they're going to...
I've never tried Black Bo's. We're still mourning the demise of Susie's... Whereabouts is it? And, more crucially, how expensive is it? Have you tried L'Artichaut?
A friend of my sister has found a cockerel in her garden! Nobody knows where he came from, but as she lives in a town, she knows she can't keep him. My sister was wondering if anyone could either...
Hi! My vegan family (me, husband, son (Darmok the Green on this forum) (24) and daughter (21)) lives in Dunblane, which is about 7 miles from Stirling. Stirling has an independent health food shop...
I popped onto this thread for inspiration and there's just too much! I want to make it all! I think I'll start with the mango ginger tofu....... Thanks, everyone!
21 years, just before DD was born. She's been brought up vegan from birth and her big brother became vegan when he was three, at the same time as his dad and me.
I was vegetarian for 19 years...
Erininak, I raised two vegan children - my son was vegetarian till the age of three and then vegan since then and my daughter has been vegan since birth. They're now aged 24 and 20 and are on this...
Oh, I so know what you mean! And it's really unfair that the authors look so depressingly slim. :(

Thanks, Harpy! I thought it might be an idea to get it over early, too, but apparently if it mutates, then you don't have resistence to the new version....... sigh....
I've only just spotted the latest entries here... Brain fog...
Kriz, I agree wholeheartedly! And how awful about that family getting you in when the kids had flu! Quite apart from your...
Oh, well, term hasn't even started yet and I'm ill! I was *very* achy for one day, a couple of days ago, a wee bit better the next, but in the evening developed a very sore throat. I'm sweating...
I'm a private tutor and often I get kids coming to me, coughing and spluttering, after being off school all day, but their mums thought they'd 'be OK to go to Penny in the evening'! I keep a box of...
When I rinse out my Vita-Mix after making green smoothies, I tip the water into a big jug. Then I use it, diluted, to water the houseplants and the salad leaves in the garden. That's the ones that...
I'll be running the Scottish Vegans stall with free samples of cupcakes, cookies etc. (Sorry LALL!)
Those are all great suggestions! Thanks, folks!
BB, meeting fellow VFers sounds great, but I don't think we'll be doing much in the evenings. At my age (creaks, slightly), a lot of walking...
DH and I are fancying a wee jaunt to London this summer. We think we'll stay somewhere really cheap (by London standards) and eat out at vegan places. I've got the Happy cow list.
What I'd like to...
We have slugs everywhere, including in the house! There's the cutest wee baby one in the bathrooom at the moment. You should see his tiny horns!
DH, who grows our veg., puts copper round the...
My sister, who is also vegan, lives in a country cottage in Ayrshire where she has one room (with en-suite) that she has available for bed and breakfast (or evening meal, too) for a vegan couple.
If...
These look wonderful. Thank you so much for posting the recipe! I've added them to my 'Make soon!' list.
My mother was born in India where her parents had lived for many years and when I was a wee...
A family favourite for us is:
Fry an onion or two; blend in one tin of chick peas and one tin of kidney beans with tomato ketchup to taste. Very quick and easy and tasty!
Aha! That sounds like a good idea! Thanks!
I use the recipe from the Viva! leaflet, 'Howto be dairy free'. I make one and a half times the digestive biscuit base. It uses silken tofu and creme cheese. I also mix a tin of strawberries with...
It was Stereo and I didn't like to ask as when I enquired about the cheesecake recipe at Mono (same company) they said they weren't allowed to tell me... (But I've since found a recipe for...
Recently, at a vegan restaurant in Glasgow, I had bulghur and bean balls in a tomato sauce. They were delicious and the texture was really nice. I've searched my recipe books and the internet...
I had a look, Bryzee, but I'm not the most knowledgeable person about computer terminology, and neither of the 'kids' was around to keep me right. I was able to add my blog address to my signature...
Alison, do you have any news about this poor old fellow?
I tried to show my new blog address under my signature, but am getting the message 'BB URL not allowed' (or something similar...) I don't know what to do about this. Can you advise me, please? :)
I'm so sorry you're having to go into hospital, QM. I hope things are going OK?
Hugs
Penny
Yesterday:
First thing: Warm water with cider vinegar
Breakfast: Smoothie with apples, pears, celery, cucumber, orange juice, frozen mixed berries, rocket and watercress (shared with family)...
Hi, Vegetarian Cat :)
Thank you so much for all that stuff!
I agree about building up your resistance. I’ll be on Echinacea three times a day next autumn!
I suppose the best way is to say somethig along the lines of, 'Ah, I notice you pronounce it *****. I say &&&&&&&, but I've never been sure if that's right...'
This gives them the chance to...
Thank you! :) After feeling awful for so long, I am SO enjoying feeling well! (Terrified of tempting fate here......:()
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but you did finsh the course of antibiotics, didn't you? Apparently some people stop them when they start to feel better and then end up getting ill again, so the...
Fiamma, thanks so much for that recipe! I'll be trying it out this weekend.
Marrers, a Vita-Mix is THE blender! It costs an arm and a leg and we're totally skint, but we added to the credit...
LOL :D
My trusty dictionary says it should be pronounced si (long i, as in tie) tan with the emphasis on the first syllable. This is how I've always pronounced it anyway, but had to look it up a...
Thank you! ^ That would be great. :) I've got a Vita-Mix now (since Wednesday!) so that should be easy to do...
Yes, please!
I walk the dogs, go up and down the stairs quite a bit and am going to get my daughter to lend me her Hairspray soundtrack CD so I can dance around to it. I reckon that should...
That's exciting! What's the story? It's a nice place to live!
Can't remember it's name, but it's on The Bridges. The sweet pasties are a guilty treat for us when we're in Edinburgh!:D
We haven't tried David Bann's (too pricy for us!) We usually eat at...
