Any Vegetarians Here? How About....

15 years ago

Vegans? Or even Raw Vegans?

I've cut out red meat from my diet, and only occasionally eat chicken---mostly when I'm eating out, but, even then, I frequently substitute tofu for meat (not that I eat out frequently). My husband,on the other hand, MUST have meat at least once a day, although he's also big on veggies & fresh fruit.

Have you and/or your family diet changed--radically or somewhat---over the last years as mine has?

Did you check the Vegetarian Exchange forum? I would say the main thing it to make sure you get the needed vitamins and food supplements, especially the B's DH's family are Adventists and many do not eat meat or dairy products and they do take supplements and vegetarian vitamins.

DH has changed his eating dramatically. I'm at a loss everday as to what to cook. He doesn't eat meat anymore (except buffalo) no beans, no odd stuff, no squash, no green beans no salads. I go nuts daily, And......you think you have problems!

How do you pronounce 'lavash'? Any Armenians here?
Q
Comments (10)
Lou, the market where I buy lavash is Lebanese and the word is Armenian, and so I'm not sure if they know the correct Armenian pronunciation. I'll probably just call an Armenian friend and ask him - maybe his mother makes it too. Jessy, I would gladly have taken photos/video of RA Salvatore if you had asked. Here's some of the videoKevin took at Comic Con. Lavash is an Armenian cracker bread, but it is soft and pliable - not stiff or crunchy like a cracker. It's a bit more like a flour tortilla, except larger and more pliable. I use it like injera bread to pick up bits of hummus, although injera is more like a crepe. Lars

I want to make my pup a vegetarian/vegan...any suggestions?
Q

Thanks :) But I knew the translation....it's just that I find it rather irritating when people ask for help and it takes me (and others) 2-3 times as long to figure out what they are saying! I never got the feeling that English was this person's 2nd language. It just doesn't seem that way. It seems like it's a hoax - this poster will go from saying something like: "I m jus gona raise him as if its my baby...n im sure il do everythin to keep him healthy...n wid al our luv n care.." And then will say: "This is absolutely my last comment on this...I am not going to give my puppy away...I just said that I would do it in case I see any starts to suffer and before he creates a bond so that it is easy for him to move on...not get him to a stage where he is a total goner". That sounds like 2 different people. This is a hoax.

Any Short Sale Experts Here? Any Negotiators?
Q
Comments (2)
Thanks for the reply. I hadn't heard about having to pay the lenders costs in a short sale, is that common? I don't mind paying mine, but I'm not going to pay theirs too! They're the ones who made this ridiculous deals with people. If it's the case they'd take, say 85% of the first loan, that would still be more than my offer - but how does the fact of all these repairs need to be done affect the price they'd take after the 85%-90% they'd accept. There's no way anyone would pay that AND have to put all that money in to the house on top of it. Would make more sense just to pay more and buy a house that's kept up and in no need of repairs. I need all the luck I can get, I'm not hopeful at all about this deal - besides the horror stories I've read about SS and the time frame it takes to get one completed, they seem to be more of a pain in the butt to go through. My motto is, "if it's meant to be, it's meant to be!" Thanks again!

excited about WeatherShield until I came here :( any suggestions?

i agree that's why they buy them - they are cheap. but they must be a decent window without any problems even though they are cheap and ugly. my cookie cutter house had the cheapest windows ever, but we never had problems with them. they were ugly, but they worked. so my dilemma is finding a window in the same price ballpark that is a decent window but not so cheap looking. i gut is telling me that there's no such window and we are going to have to bust the budget on windows.

You can check in some of the grocery stores for health foods and check for veggie burger. When made up either dry or wet, it is not bad, as long as you remember it is not meat. Some people expect it to taste like meat, but I ask them would fish or chicken taste like beef etc? Any of you interested in cooking classes, check to see if you have a 7th Day Adventist church as some of them do offer cooking classes, and there is one of the satellites that offer vegetarian classes on the TV--Hope channel or something like that. Not sure if it on Dish or Direct.
Alot depends on the product used and the seasoning.
The Asians have alot of vegetables recipes and I love one made with thin noodles and their spices from the Philippines.

I'm a vegetarian, have been for ten or so years. Actually, I'm officially a pescatarian, because I added fish back to my diet a few years ago. I don't miss meat at all, and there are plenty of faux meats out there if I want the taste of "bacon" or whatever. I don't think I'll ever eat meat again, even the thought of it makes me nauseous.

I don't know how a vegetarian could not eat beans! They are a staple for me!

I've been a vegetarian for 12 years, dabbling in veganism along the way.

I've done a lot of raw veganism as well. Definitely a huge change but the results are fast and amazing. I honestly believe it's the best way to eat, health-wise, but it's very difficult without the right mindset/motivation.
