That's okay, I had to wait until I was in my 30's before I trusted myself with one.:D

Coconut oil is a medium chain saturated fats, different from animal based saturated fats. There are a few theories as to why this is good for us, such as that these types of fat actually lower...
I recently read a book that addressed this topic (it's relatively new, from the U.S. and deals with waste here) but I can't think of its name. Anyway, human waste contains a lot of heavy metals that...
I hope you'll give it a try, Tigerlily. It's easy on your wallet and the environment (so much less packaging!) If your mom has a pressure cooker, you might also some day try canning them. I take a...
A great theory on why Asian women (Japanese and Chinese) don't experience as many menopausal symptoms as caucasian women is explained in "The China Study." I only hope that becoming vegan later in...
Here are some basic conversions:
1 cup dried beans = 2 to 2 1/2 cooked beans
Soak with water to cover 3 inches over beans or 4-5 cups water per cup beans. If it's very warm, you may want to...
Good point, Manish.
If I make almond cream for a soup base I don't usually strain it. And if you want the almonds to be suitable for a raw dish (or just want an easier way to peel them) then you...
I have a similar method.
First, soak the beans. Either soak overnight (8 to 12 hours) in lots of water or "power soak" by putting the beans in a large pot of water, bringing to a boil for 2...
I would use a demi-glace over sauteed seitan cutlets, possibly adding sauteed onions and/or mushrooms. Dredging the cutlets in a ground nut/flour mix would be a nice touch.
Another good beefstock substitute is a dark or red miso, such as those made from barley. Adding a bit of red wine (if desirable) and some soy sauce (mushroom soy sauce if you can find it) during the...
I make almond milk as often as soy milk and it only requires a blender or food processor and cheese cloth or a fine mesh strainer. Here's my basic recipe:
Basic Almond Milk
1 cup whole raw...
Conrad, I realize that you are not a doctor but I certainly have enjoyed your posts all the same. And modern medicine certainly does not have all the answers. However, this is a public forum so we...
Sorry Blueshark but at this time there is not a blood test that exists for prions. Final diagnosis of prion disease is usually made after death during brain biopsy. Interestingly, the appearance of...
Sprouts are ready at different times depending on the type of seed.
Here http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/gate/archive/2006/06/23/notes062306.DTL&nl=fix
is a humorous yet informative column about naturopathic medical doctors in the U.S. I have found a vegan...
Researchers have discovered 2 soybeans that are free of the allergen some people are sensitive to - read about it here. The best part is that the process does not include genetic engineering and the...
Please correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that salt (sodium chloride) is the molecule being discussed whether it comes from the sea, the land (salt mines), lakes or naturally occurring...
Here is a picture and description of my sprouter. It works great but is not a self-draining system. I sprout lentils and chickpeas from the bulk (organic) section of my store and I also purchase...
Of course they were, Tigerlilly - none of us can say brain attack with a straight face in the hospital! I think that although it became the "official" name for stroke in recent years, it still...
Very sorry to hear about your father, Cedarblue.
Last night we had
Raw lasagna - a combo recipe taking different components from different recipes (zuccini noodles, spinach, cashew/pine nut cheese, basil pesto, sun dried/red pepper marinara...
I have a 3 tray sprouter and am constantly rotating different sprouts. I think it's essential in the winter months but I sprout all year long. While jars and bags work fine, if you are going to do...
And make sure that the ambulance takes them to an emergency room that practices the latest in brain attack (oh yes, the new name for stroke) emergency medicine. Valuable time will be wasted in the...
Welcome:)
Well, my tip would be to never water fast but there is a thread here that may give you some advice.:)
Veegun,
I'm glad you are not totally discouraged. Many people become vegan after trying a vegan diet for awhile. Considering the amount of brainwashing that happens to us from our family to the...
Very well put, Wishin. My mother follows a "mostly" vegan diet but says that she will never refer to herself as a vegan even if she ever eliminates all animal products from her diet. She won't make...
Ah, but cakes, cookies, muffins and bread freeze so well!!!
Talia,
While I believe in the idea that drinking dilutes gastric secretions, I've heard that it's not true. It certainly seems to work for me.
Josh,
I totally agree with your idea that...
Good for you, Hemlock!!! Keep us posted about your progress please.:)
Spider,
Eve gives some very good points. I would like to add that new vegans probably eat a lot of soy foods and processed soy products in an effort to ease into veganism. After time, you...
I agree that eating whole foods and vegan is certainly cheaper than processed and omni products. I buy very high quality food that is much cheaper than my friends (how I feel for those children). ...
Getting back to the original question of how to make nice food everyday - I make it my #1 priority. I go to work everyday in order to save for the future and in order to live life to the fullest...
Connecticut, USA - NONE.:(
(There are 4 vegetarian restaurants - Bloodroot in Bridgeport, Alchemy in Hartford, Udupi Bhavan in Middletown and Claire's Corner Copia in New Haven).
Hi Eli,
If you search this forum you will certainly find the reasons that vegans don't believe in consuming dairy, eggs or honey. However, since you are specifically asking about organic and fair...
Welcome, Sheri Beri.:)
It sounds like you've done a wonderful job educating your children.
If you're looking for humour, then Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan World is a good one, but it's more for people who are already vegan. However, it does have a chapter describing how the...
Coconut butter/oil or vegetable shortening (such as nonhydrogenated palm oil) migh also work.
Wow, that's great.
Sheila,
You are very welcome - and thanks for the kind words.
There are 2 brands that I have seen in spray but the Thai brand is the one with just mineral salts and water. The other brand has...
