Hey have any of you Christchurchians (lol what are people of Christchurch called exactly?) been to any of these places listed on happy cow?...
The thingy at the top of the page is telling me I haven't visited since the 23rd of August. Sad!!
I hope things have been going well for all of you. It was my 4th "veganiversary" on Thursday. I...
I got her book (for 50c!! love library sale books :D ) but haven't tried anything from it yet - just coming out of winter and the colder weather doesn't really inspire me to eat anything other than...
Yay for new kiwi members - welcome to the forum :)
It sounds like that Orgran range is getting into a lot of supermarkets now, which is great. I like their gluten free breadcrumbs (it's...
Oh that's so depressing.
Random happy thing: stumbled upon vegan white chocolate at Pak N Save of all places today. In the long run this could be a very dangerous thing, but oh well.
Hi Chiaroscuro - congrats on the switch to vegan :)
I'm also in Auckland but like Jody don't really know any vegans in person around here.. I remember even when I first went vegetarian looking for...
^ aaahh jealous!! haha.. have a great time :)
someone at my work has just gone off to Melbourne too (although I doubt she'll be taking advantage of all the glorious vegan food).
I haven't tried...
I'd seen that Parmazano stuff and wondered what it was like. I haven't done the DIY thing with food processor yet either but have been meaning to for ages. There's a parmesan sub in Veganomicon I...
Aren't they?! rude! :(
It cracks me up how much of a spin some people get into at restaurants when you ask them to leave something really easy out of something. Like no cheese on pizza.. one time this waiter was like "um...
Lyns, the tofurkey recipe was this one http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=7446.0
I have no idea what vegan poultry seasoning is though??? if you have any idea please let me know!
Omg I'm so gutted...
So so true. That bothers me a lot as well. When my sister says things like that I sometimes say "you love the cute ones" (though how people don't find cows and pigs cute is beyond me.. I saw a...
Lyns: I can't remember the brand name of the sausage rolls, but it's pretty likely they were Frys, because I've often seen the Frys truck parked outside Pak N Save, AND have seen some of their...
Yeah that's my problem too - just in general I've always been one for terrible blisters with new shoes anyway, so now being stuck with all these cheap shoes they're usually really uncomfortable by...
I never liked meat subs to begin with because part of my progression to vegetarianism in the first place was because meat grossed me out (then going online and reading about the reasons people go veg...
Oh cool, that vegannz blog has some really yum looking recipes.
am craving sausage rolls now.... (have you tried those frozen ones? erm, forget the brand, but they are vegan.. they're really greasy...
^ I found out about that peanut slab completely by accident... was in town one day and was feeling a bit weird from slight dehydration - really needed something sweet.. was in a random dairy buying a...
Random thought:
I didn't know SAFE were doing tv ads till I saw one about pigs/factory farming last night on tv2. Good stuff! I hope it got some people thinking (ie: thinking more than "oh ok...
^ ooh I've had a packet of quinoa sitting around for ages but haven't done anything with it yet. I HAVE to give it a try. Had printed out specific recipies, but I think from the sounds it's easier...
Yeah that's awesome you're being vegan at a young age in a household that doesn't really get it, good for you :) And truely, it can be a long learning process.. not just for vegan food but cooking...
From what you guys have said, I think I'll give the conditioner a try. Mmm a fully Lush-smelling head of hair must rock - haha I think the conditioner I currently use sorta overpowers the shampoo...
OMG chocolate fudge! I'll have to try that now - haven't used the Edmonds Cookbook for anything in years. How exciting :)
Have started thinking about stuff to bake and make into little gifts for...
^ Lyns, the impression I get (from those vegetarian society email newsletters! hehe) is that Chch is a pretty awesome vegan-friendly place? Although maybe it was just the talk of all their vegan...
Haha I keep checking too, but then don't post anything (so bit of a contradiction!) and then forget to log in again for ages and blah blah :rolleyes:
I want to go to Wellington and try some of...
I don't know if I'm losing my mind, but I thought I'd seen something about the actual marshmallows being available at the SAFE shop on K Rd (as well as the DIY kits...), but when I looked in their...
I can't think of any useful comebacks other than calmly pointing out that you are in fact slim because you look after yourself and are a very healthy person (which has already been suggested).
I...
Vegetarian at 21, vegan at 23
I eat a lot more varied food now. Even more so after going vegan than when I was vegetarian (because then it was like the whole "substitute meat for lots of dairy and eggs!!" thing).
I think vegan food is tastier, but also I was a really picky child so I guess I never got around to loving meaty foods in a big way.
This one uses beans and veggies instead of fake mince, and it's amaaaaaaazing

*is hungry now*
This IS a really helpful thread indeed :D
I need to lose weight too, and overall think it's more lack of exercise than bad food choices but I'm currently really bored and uninspired with what to...
Yay indeed for more kiwis on here - where did you all come from?? lol I haven't posted here for ages, used to feel like there were only a couple of others who never posted much either.
OMG! ...
^ I love K Rd. Quite a few vegan friendly places from the sounds (and I like looking in the SAFE store - dangerous though with all that vegan chocolate!) .. I've been meaning to try that curry place...
This dark plate thing is interesting. I think the darkest plates I have are a light green lol. BUT they're square and seem real little. Maybe I should try them for the small size.
Oh, and I...
Great list misssakura!! :D
Have you tried Raw Power on Vulcan Lane? I think it used to be more vegan but now it's vegetarian and vegan stuff. Their cakes, cookies, rumballs etc are all vegan. ...
^ omg, maple syrup?? yuuuuuuuum!

my tummy just tried to eat itself while looking at those jelly donut cupcake pics... omg yum...
Went vegetarian mostly because meat was grossing me out - had been grudgingly eating chicken and fish for a couple of years by that point mostly to keep mum happy..... so then a vegetarian friend...

Have avoided baking for months because all the cupcakes I've made from this book have been awesome and I figure it's...
