Are you a vegetarian? If so, how long have you been one?
Are you "strict"? Do you eat chicken, fish, eggs or dairy
products? Do you stick to it or do you (like me) deviate
from it from time to time?
Why are you a vegetarian? For philosophical or health reasons?
Or both? Or neither? Maybe you just like the way vegetarian
food tastes?

My vegetarian life began when I started dating with one. I suddenly realized I
hadn't been eating meat for two weeks, and felt perfectly well. So, I quit
eating meat altogether.
We are no longer together, but I am still a vegetarian - a stricter one than
she is. She eats fish... :0)

I first became a vegan my senior year in high school, in 1991. I put up with much ire from my parents for my animal-rights beliefs. They're both from the meatloaf and potatoes generation and areas of the country so they couldn't see any use in my beliefs other than disrupting meal times. I escaped that, going to university, but found that I couldn't get the kind of variety I needed to maintain a healthy vegan diet on the college meal plan, so I had to switch to ovo-lacto vegetarianism. I stayed one until
he summer of '94, when I lost my will and drive to protest and became somewhat of a born-again carnivore. I still ate meat when I met my fiancee, as did he.
Then, somewhere in early '95 I decided I didn't like how my body felt with meat, so I went back to vegetarianism and was suprised to find that my fiancee gradually joined me. He's a Midwestern meat eater from way back, so this was a pretty big leap. We've been in and out of veganism ever since, but always vegetarians. It's very, very difficult to find a wide range of fruits and vegetables here in Illinois, and especially if you're living hand-to-mouth. We dream of a day when we can move to California, wh
re produce is organic by law!
While we both love all animals and share the belief that we have no right to call some animals pets and others dinner, we both wonder what we'll do when we have kids. While I wouldn't want to impose our beliefs stringently on our children, we also don't want our kids thinking they necessarily have to subscribe to the meat myth. Anyone have experience with this, stories to share?

I once lived on the Farm, the largest vegetarian community in the world. We
really were pretty pure about it. We imported soy technology to Guatemala and
other countries. We made tempi, tofu, soy cheese, soy coffee, cottage tofu,
and many other soy products. Our cookbooks are famous, though not as comprehensive
and authoritative as those of Bill Shurlieff and Akiko Ayoyagi. Give me time,
and I'll tell some tales. This is just an introduction.

Pescatarian: isn't that the new term if you eat fish and no other meat?
Anyway, that's me. Restaurants used to be tricky with it but, alas, not anymore. Seems everyone is giving up something these days. The only thing I can't stand is those people that want to give up all fat.
C'mon guys "fat tastes Goooooooood!"

Fat is good and it's a reciprocal relationship. If you eat more fat, you'll
have extra energy. If you spend extra energy, you're body will process more
fat.

Someone once asked Issan, "Tenzo! We are vegetarians, so we don't kill
animals. But we eat carrots and potatoes. What do you think about
killing vegetables?"
Issan replied, "Well, I definitely think we should kill them before we
eat them."

Gosh, where did I stash that tempeh cookbook of mine?
Well, a real basic one (ok, ok Stacey, I know you've heard this
before, let me finish) is to slice the tempeh like french fries,
boil up some vegetable oil in a frying pan, then deep fry the tempeh,
the result is are delectable "tempeh fries".

when i owned a pizza joint i actually tried for awhile, when i was
experimenting with recipes and stuff during pre-opening, to duplicate
the sauce...(even had my sysco guy pester their buyer about getting
the stuff wholesale, but he claimed it couldn't be gotten... probably
because they had a million cases of alpha d'oro gathering dust in their

I, too, was raised on Chef Boyardee pizza, as well as macaroni and cheese, every Saturday night immediately following "Wide World of Sports" (still hear Baltimore's Jim McKay raving about "the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat...").
By the way, Wolf, tempeh is a fermented soy product from Indonesia. It is quite tasty and has a very satisfying texture, similar to meat. Much superior to tofu or seitan, in my opinion.

Chef Boyardee...
used to piss mom off by eating it directly out of the can. Just as good room temp as heated IMHO. Haven't had it in about 10 years.
Mac& Cheese... still a staple in our home. As a child, Mac&Cheese and Spaghettios were always Wednesday night foods (mom's night out with dad at the kitchen helm). In college it was a treat... meant I could afford milk and tasted better than Ramen. Now we do a double batch on those super lazy evenings when no one (I) wants to cook and eat it out of a huge bowl with two forks.

just kidding... if i have to drink domestic beer, it's coors
(or shiner or lone star, if coors isn't available), but for
some reason coors has given me a hangover a few times (only
other beer to do that was blue ribbon, the first and last time
i drank it)... i used to think it was guilt (because adolph coors
was such a fascist), but other people have told me the same thing,
though it makes no sense (you'd think it'd all be the same, hang-

dive: low budget, kinda dark, crowd speckled with members of White Trash America. no pretenses was the best I could come up with. 'cuz bubba doesn't give a flip what you're wearing or what ya look like... if you're drinking beer, he likes ya.
think the explanation makes it sound a bit too country...
dive is just a hole in the wall with a local crowd of which I am usually not a member but find fascinating to watch/talk with.

that makes sense... around here, though, qualifying as a dive
(and it is an aspired-for designation,, assuring brisk business)
requires a reasonable expectation of witnessing/being involved

Hey, guys, have any of you ever read through an Afrikaner cookbook? It's a scream! See, my father was an Afrikaner (yeah, I'm half a Boer, and if anyone blabbers that out on the philosophy conference, I shall never show my face again), and the one thing he was good for, was the knowledge of the language.
Anyway, there is this famous Afrikaner cookbook, called 'Kook en geniet' - Cook and Enjoy it. On page 10 (and I have it before me) they have sample menus for a healthy, balanced diet. Here's one of the suggestions . . . and keep in mind this is for a single day.
Breakfeast:
Pawpaw with lemon
Dried meat
Scrambled egg
Bacon
Fried mushrooms
cheese omelette
Main meal:
Roast beef or lamb
Roast potatoes
Buttered beetroots
Buttered green beans or Baked brinjal
Leeks with butter
Cream carrots
Supper:
Vegetable soup
Stuffed tomatoes on lettuce leaves
Wholewheat bread with butter and jam
Cottage pie or Meat patties
Dried meat
Jeesh, and they wonder why they all die before the age of forty!!!
Oh, and there are recipies which start with something like:
Take one ox . . .

You don't know ree-head?
It's a kind of chilly, but I don't think you get it in America - don't know where Jim knows it from. It's orange, with a funny sort of shape and inside are exactly fourty eight pips. But if you should ever come across it, STAY AWAY! It's the worst spice in the world. Really quite venomous.
Oh, and no, you're right. The Afrikaners aren't big on vegetarianism at all. I grew up eating meat for breakfeast, lunch, supper and inbetween, but have pretty much come off it since coming here. I sometimes still crave good meat - hence the meatball week - but only sometimes. I much prefer exotic fruits now - I eat myself sick on them, especially when I suffer from insomnia . . . with dire consequences at times. Tummy aches etc. Pawpaw is one of my favourites.
I love that bittersweet taste and all the water in it.

And she, being NOT the cleverest woman alive, took it for 'Suck the cock!'.

Do You Get Enough Boron?
It's hard to know the answer to this question since there
is no established requirement for this mineral. But
research suggests that boron could be an essential dietary
component that is especially important for bones. Some
people consume hardly any boron. But in a recent study
published in the Journal of the American Dietetic
Association, vegetarians had the edge once again. Their
diets were significantly higher in boron than those of meat
eaters. The best sources of boron are peanuts, peanut
butter, and raisins. Legumes and fruits like apples and
grapes are also rich sources.

EMAZING The Practical Vegetarian - Folic Acid
The average vegetarian has 25% more folic acid or folate in
her diet than people who eat meat and vegetables, and
vegans have as much as 50% more! This important B vitamin
has been linked to a reduction in heart disease. Now new
research from a Harvard University's Nurses' Health Study
has indicated that it may lower colon cancer risks as well.
The study found that women with an intake of 400 micrograms
of folate per day showed a 30% reduction in colon cancer
when compared to women whose daily folate count was only
200 micrograms. Those who used folate supplements for 15
years or more had a 75% reduction! Green leafy vegetables
are one of the primary sources for folate (think foliage).
We'll list a few other good foods that will help you make
sure you get enough folate in your diet; listed by food,
portion size, and amount of folate in micrograms.
Lentils (1/2 cup, cooked) - 179
Instant oatmeal (1 package) - 150
Pinto beans (1/2 cup, cooked) - 147
Spinach (1/2 cup cooked) - 110

The Practical Vegetarian - B Vitamins And Migraine Head
B Vitamins And Migraine Headaches
Here's hope for migraine sufferers. Belgian researchers in
a controlled study found that subjects who consumed 400
milligrams of riboflavin a day had a 50 percent reduction
in the frequency of their headaches.
The study treated 55 migraine patients with daily doses of
either riboflavin or a placebo. After three months, 59
percent of those who had the supplement reported a 50
percent reduction in migraine headaches compared to only 15
percent of the subjects in the placebo group. Since there
were few side effects associated with the high riboflavin
doses, the researchers suggested that riboflavin might
offer some hope for migraine sufferers.

Save The Planet: Become A Vegetarian
Cows not only produce a lot of methane gas which is harmful
to our atmosphere, but they also take a lot of regular,
high-test gas and diesel fuel to raise and bring them to
the American dinner table, especially when compared to soy
beans. Cows require food to be grown, harvested, and
transported to them in the barn or feedlot. Cows are also
less efficient to transport for processing and for
long-term storage than soybeans. It is estimated that
soybeans provide 40 times more protein per barrel of oil
than beef.
Also, 90 percent of the protein in plant foods, as well as
99 percent of the carbohydrates and 100 percent of the
fiber, is wasted by feeding grains to livestock instead of
people. Did you know that animals raised in the United
States consume as much as one-third of the world's annual
grain harvest?
Up to one-half of the antibiotics produced in the United
States are used on cattle, pigs, and chickens. However,
almost 80 percent of all drugs fed to animals are used to
speed up their rate of growth, not to treat disease.

Tofu & Walnut Quiche
This is a vegan dish. A vegan diet contains no animal, eggs
or dairy products.
Ingredients:
-3 blocks of tofu (drained & pureed)
-2 large carrots (diced small)
-1/2 cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
-450g broccoli (roughly chopped)
-1 1/2 teaspoons salt
-5 teaspoons cider vinegar
-fresh basil (torn)
Ingredients for the pastry:
-560g pastry flour
-165m sunflower oil
-pinch of salt
Lightly fry the vegetables in a little oil and set aside.
Drain tofu and puree with a mixer or mash by hand until
very smooth. Add salt and vinegar. Now stir the fried
vegetables and walnuts into the tofu. Mix through a few
torn leaves of basil.
For the pastry: Sieve flour and salt. Make a well in the
middle and add oil. Use your fingers like a fork and stir
the oil in. Rub this through your hands lightly until it
feels like damp sand. Add a little water - stir again then
press into a flan tin - there is no need to knead this
mixture.
Fill the flan with the tofu, vegetable and walnut mixture
and bake at 200C/400F or gas mark 6 for 25 - 30 mins.
Serve with tabbouleh (see Monday's recipe) and a fresh
green salad, thinly sliced cucumber and a few whole leaves
of basil.

Tabbouleh
This is a traditional dish from the mountain villages of
Lebanon.
Ingredients:
-310g flat leafed parsley, chopped
-120g burghal (bulgur) cracked wheat
-90g fresh mint, chopped
-salt & coarse ground black pepper
-juice of 2 fresh lemons
-100ml olive oil
-250g spring onions, chopped
-3 large tomatoes, diced
In the West, burghal wheat is sometimes called bulgur
cracked wheat (it is the same).
Method:
-First soak the burghal cracked wheat in cold water for 10
mins.
-While this is soaking, wash the mint and parsley and dry
thoroughly on kitchen paper or on a clean tea cloth. Chop
fairly fine.
-Place the burghal into a fine sieve, press and remove all
excess water, shake it up and place in a bowl. Now add the
salt and pepper to taste and some of the lemon juice and
olive oil. Mix well and leave aside for half an hour to
absorb the dressing until it is tender.
-Just before serving, add the chopped parsley and mint,
then the chopped spring onions.
-Finally, add the balance of the dressing and mix well.
More fresh lemon juice may be added if desired, as this
dish should have a distinctly 'sharp' taste.
-Serve on a flat oval dish and top with the chopped tomatoes.

eat and drink.
Fruits that can be peeled: bananas (you won't need a
knife), apples, oranges, mangos, pineapple
Pancakes
Oatmeal
Fried or baked potatoes
Squash
Nuts
Drink only bottled water (available almost everywhere now)
or sealed drinks like fruit juice, soda or beer.

Third World Vegetarian Traveler - Foods To Watch Out For
At Your Own Risk:
Fresh Bakeries (Look to see if they have a fly problem
around their sweets.)
Salads, raw tomatoes (Bacteria or viruses are not killed by
cooking.)
Street Venders (No refrigeration and often problems with
flies.)
Blended drinks, like smoothies (May be prepared with
untreated water)
Drinks with ice (The ice may come from regular tap water.)
Always ask if they use bottled water in their smoothies
("aqua pura en los liquados" if you are in a
Spanish-speaking country). Many restaurants now do.

Wellll,
Fresh Bakeries (Look to see if they have a fly problem
around their sweets.)
flies are a problem everywhere. Look for a baker's stall which covers it's bread. Find out when the bread/cakes are delivered and be first there!
Salads, raw tomatoes (Bacteria or viruses are not killed by cooking.)
As soon as you return from market, make up a solution of bleach water - two capfuls of bleach to a bucket of water, soak salad vegetables for 20ins in this solution and rinse thoroughly in fitered water. The vegetables are then safe to eat raw.
Street Venders (No refrigeration and often problems with flies.)
Food that is freshly cooked before your eyes is almost always safe to eat
Blended drinks, like smoothies (May be prepared with untreated water) Drinks with ice (The ice may come from regular tap water.) Always ask if they use bottled water in their smoothies ("aqua pura en los liquados" if you are in a
Spanish-speaking country). Many restaurants now do.
Ice is almost always unsafe in restaurants, despite the temptation DO NOT HAVE IT! Bottled drinks like Coke are a safe bet anywhere
I can probably find a lot more to add here if you want it!!!!

Vegetarian Traveler - Protein Sources
You can find Chinese restaurants in virtually every city in
the world. These are a great source for tofu when you are
far away from home. Occasionally you'll come across Middle
Eastern food, where you can get a garbanzo bean falafel.
Beans and tortillas and rice and beans provide complete
protein and are generally safe since they have been cooked.
Peanut butter is protein in a jar that will not spoil. Many
people find it necessary to add some dairy to their diet in
order to satisfy their protein requirements. Be aware that
in some countries you may need to make sure that the milk,
and especially locally made cheese, has been pasteurized.
Yogurt can help maintain your natural intestinal flora and
is usually pasteurized, so that is safe to eat.

The Correct Way To Cook Corn On The Cob
Many people boil their ears of corn in a big pot of water,
but not only will this take much more time to prepare, but
also valuable vitamins and nutrients are washed away. Fresh
corn on the cob should be steamed.
Use a wide, large pot that will give you plenty of room to
arrange the ears. Pour about 1/2 cup of water in the pot.
Place a steamer rack inside and arrange the ears so that
they touch each other as little as possible. Any spot where
the ears are touching will take a little longer to cook.
Cover with a lid, bringing the water to a boil.
Steam for no more than 5 minutes. Ears should change color
from light yellow to a darker yellow or from white to
off-white.

English Cucumbers
These are also called European or hothouse cucumbers.
-English cucumbers are thinner and longer (up to 2 feet)
than the more common varieties. They are available in most
large supermarkets. Look for them packaged in
shrink-wrapped plastic to help preserve their flavor.
-This variety is considered seedless. The flavor is milder.
They are also more digestible than other types.
-Use them as you would any cucumber. In England, they are
used to prepare tea sandwiches. Cucumber slices are also a
classic garnish for salmon.
*There is an Hawaiian version of these cucumbers which were developed by the U of Hawaii Ag research station here.....they are advertised as "burpless" as well as more digestable. They don't need to be peeled.

Pan Fried Bean Curd
Bean curd or tofu is said to have been the meditative food
of the emperors. Bean curd is said to act as "a big sponge"
and cleanses the intestines.
There are no set quantities for this recipe - use each
ingredient according to taste.
You will need:
-a little cooking oil
-a quantity of dried Chinese mushrooms soaked in water
-some fresh ginger root, peeled and shredded
-spring onions
-1 packet of tofu (bean curd) - strain off all liquid
before using
-dark soy sauce
-a little rice wine OR dry sherry
-touch of brown sugar
-salt & black pepper
Method:
Rinse the dried mushrooms lightly and put in a shallow dish
filled with water. Remove stalks and place with the
underside of the mushroom underneath. Heat the oil until
very hot. Throw in the shredded ginger root, spring onions,
and tofu, and keep stirring. Add the brown sugar. Add the
rice wine or dry sherry and salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat. Take the tops off the dried mushrooms
(now soaked) and place all over the pan mixture. Cover at
high heat for 1 minute - the taste will now go into the
bean curd.
Serve with basmati rice with its lovely nutty aroma.
Decorate with spring onions and accompany this with a fresh
salad.

Eat Your Vitamins
Although I've discussed vitamins and supplements for
several tips, the first way you should get anything is
through your food. This is hard for many people because it
means you'll have to do some work. Do you know which foods
are high in folate? (Beets are one choice.) Or which are
high-alkaline foods? (Beet greens, dandelion greens,
spinach, and raisins are all high-alkaline foods.) There
are many books on the market that will provide lists of
what foods have which vitamins and minerals. All you need
is one good vitamin book and you're on your way to eating
your supplements, rather than taking them in pill form. You
can do this with your remedies as well. For example, if you
know you need garlic during the cold and flu season, start
eating meals that are high in garlic content. And for some
things, such as fiber, there is little reason to take pills
when you can easily get what you need in your diet.

Guatemalan Corn On The Cob
When living in the Latin American country of Guatemala, we
learned what foods were safe to eat when away from our home
kitchen. One that was delicious and available from street
venders is roasted corn. It is safe to eat because the
shucks protect the kernels from any exposure to germs, and
after shucking, the corn is placed directly on the heat.
Here's a delicious recipe for roasted corn that will add
some spice to your next barbecue. Tastes great on steamed
corn right out of the pot too.
Remove corn shucks and place the ears over the coals.
Prepare 1/2 cup of salt by mixing in 1/2 tsp chili powder
and 1/2 tsp ground cumin. Slice a lime in half. Dip the
lime in the salt mixture then rub it over the roasted corn,
squeezing the lime juice out and spreading the salt mixture
over the ear. Sabroso! (Flavorful!)

Vidalia Onions
These are known as the word's sweetest onion.
-True Vidalia onions come from an area of southern Georgia.
They were first grown in that region in the 1930's. The
climate and the soil there are believed to give this
variety its unique taste.
-Vidalias are available from May to August. Look for the
special label to make sure you are getting the real thing.
-These onions are prized for their sweet, mild flavor. Many
people believe they are the only type that can truly be
enjoyed raw. Others say they make the best onion rings (and
Bloomin' onions). They can be used in any recipe that calls
for onions.
-If unavailable in your area, they can be ordered from a
Web site at http://www.vidaliasfinest.com.
