This is a link to the Richmond vegetarian/vegan society. They seem to do a lot of social activites together. Your friend should check them out. There's going...
I'm from Richmond, but I'm an old, married lady - hardly "friend" material. Truthfully, there are not many of us here, and i understand how he could be lonely!
Lower income folks tend to eat more fast food and more junk food in general. Sad.
Cold rice noodle salad. The sauce was coconut milk, red curry paste, shallots, tamari, a smidge of garlic and a bit of lime juce. I added lots of basil, tomatoes and chopped peanuts. Yum! Next...
Honestly, I could have written this word for word - right down to the damn leather seats on my '01 Jetta (which I can't afford to replace until I get the son graduated from college in two years). I...
I make potato salad pretty much the same way as Sheila - with vegenaise, and it's wonderful! For pasta salad, I make an olive oil and balsamic vinegar (salt and pepper, and a smidge of sweetner)...
Make a salad buffet - green salad, pasta salad, potato salad, bean salad.
It is really, really hard to quit smoking - but it's not impossible and you are doing great - you are! I found that keeping a journal - where I could spew out all of the venom that was clouding my...
Penne with marinara, sauteed mushrooms, spinach and basil. Dessert is Rice Dreams chocolate marble fudge. YUM!
Tomorrow I will be going to our local, annual Greek festival. I think I'll pack a...
Good for you! I cut down, too. It was easier for me than going cold turkey. I would smoke 1/2 or 1/3 a cig, put it out and save the rest for later. That way those two or three cigs really seemed...
While I agree with and appreciate most everything you said, Kiran, I don't agree with your stating that smoking is a habit. It really isn't, IMO. It's an addiction. And it's a very subtle and...
^^^I would have found the unlit cigarette too much of a temptation - but I'm not a very tough cookie. I had to STAY AWAY from all smoking situations for a couple of weeks.
Good luck Toma Hawk! ...
YUM! That sounds wonderful, we will have to try that next time!
Tonight we grilled eggplant slices and had them with a miso barbeque sauce, and corn-on-the cob grilled in the shucks - delicious....
I quit smoking six years ago after smoking for 20+ years. It was definitely a challenge, but - oh! - so worth it! It is so nice to smell nice - and have fresh breath! Back on track...There is a...
Tonight we grilled sweet potatoes for the first time - wow! wonderful. Hubby made a soy/sesame seed sauce that was delicious for dipping bites of the sweet potatoes. We also had Boca burgers on...
I'm reading his new book right now - it's very well written. He is very convincing in a calm, reasonable way. And, wow, he really zeros in on what meat production is doing to the environment-...
Since I do not know a single, solitary vegan in RL, this thread has me fantasizing about how lovely it would be to have a vegan friend come over and go through my pantry with me! Then we could go to...
I have one brilliant, talented, and incredibly nice 20 year-old son. It is very easy to boast about him and his acomplishments, and he has brought us so much joy and fun. And I have a 16-year-old...
Tonight it was spicy guacamole and a whole wheat tortilla. My lips are stinging but my tum is so happy!
Almond butter and jam sandwiches on whole wheat bread.
How often do you eat out? One or two times a week
Are you vegan? Yes
If yes, please answer the following:
================
1. On a scale of 1 (easy) to 10 (strenuous), how difficult is it...
^^^^ Amen to all of that!
I don't gain weight. I eat absolutely everything I want, and I don't gain weight - for me, it's amazing since I've dieted my whole life. I love food, and it loves me!...
Looking back over the past year, I can honestly say that becoming vegan was a lot, LOT easier than I had anticipated. I think it was actually harder to become L/O years ago, than making the switch...
Okay, today I bought a jar of marmite. It's....well....interesting! I had a tiny taste on a spoon from the jar, and it's very salty. I put a little on crackers, and that was better. Then I put a...
So it was edible?!? Then it was a success! It was a very large, frosted, somewhat dense...pancake...? Perfect this technique, Tigerlily, and perhaps you will have your own show on the Food Network...
I love dense shit - especially if it's sweet, dense shit. Slide the pan of dense shit over here, and you go try again! :D
So where's the ketchup...?!?
Ohhhhhhhhh!
And, oh, how I wish I had read through this thread before lunch - you all have great ideas!
I'm on an avocado, mayo (veganaise), tomato, black pepper, sprouts and raw spinch on...
Iron supplements can give you a metallic taste - have you changed vitamins recently?
My fear is frogs - not toads, they're darling, but frogs -and really only one in particular: we have a giant alien frog living out behind the house in a stream bed. One night last summer he decided...
I became vegan at the age of 45. Frankly, one of the few things I will regret about my life is that I didn't do this years ago! I am so impressed that there are so many young people on this forum...
I mentioned on another thread that my favorite bedtime snack is hummus....but it's not my husband's :rolleyes: so I'm looking for something new!
I've been on this forum for two days, and I'm...
I've never seen a recipe for hummus without garlic! I will most definitely try it!
I'm really in a hummus kick right now. It's my favorite bedtime snack, but what an awful thing to crave right before bed (breath wise!).
