trying to not eat meat!

[vash]

not that easy! i am lifting weights so i do allow myself lean fish and seafood. i am doing it out of curiousity mostly. funner in the kitchen for sure. i like the challenge of trying to make a bunch of tofu and veggies satisfying.

tough part is i promised some friends a standing rib roast. tuff to cook that and not dig in.

Stay with it if you really want to go that route. Once you start eating good stuff your body will lose its craving for junk. I've been veg. for 14+ years and no regrets at all. Don't miss it one bit.

My Wife's a veg and we don't keep meat in the house. I only have it at lunch or when we go out. Try Seitan as a meat substitute as well - it's good stuff.

She makes this chili with it - man is it ever good...

but (bacon) meats soo dam good (roastbeef). with (tri-tip)war and (pork loin) world events (BBQ chicken) will i live long enough (pork chops and apple sause) to get any value from going veggie (sausage)?

i will bring some beef jerky on sunday cliff should you become weakened by the stress and energy you will exhert during the drive. cant have a driver all weak and dizzy on a mines run.

Do you remember when we heard that lead was being removed from fuels? Predictions of gloom and doom.

After you lose the cravings (after about 2 months) it seems almost normal.

between us all here, i dont think my girlfriend can hack it. smart money is that she caves first. i made my first platter of eggplant parmegian (spelling?) and it came out kickin A! tonight is veggie kabobs with that bulgar wheat, tomato, mint...salad. i cant remember the name.

like i said the cooking part is fun.

Go to a decent "health food" store and check out some of the frozen meat-replacements. Morningstar Farms has some teriffic stuff (loved the Buffalo Wings w/ ranch dressing). So does Boca. One of the burgers ("Grillers") tasted so much like beef to me that I couldn't eat them.


Diagnosed with gluten intolerance, though, so all of that stuff is off-limits to me now.

Be strong. Get the tofu...

Hey...I too have been a vegetarian. Not for more than 1 day in a row but I do definitely agree that meatless cuisine can be tasty, interesting and satisfying.

Having a son who is allergic to soy (and just about everything else in the universe) puts a major damper on going veggie. Unless you have made a habit of label-reading, you would have no idea how many consumer food products contain "soylent green"! (Hint -- infinity minus 3 is pretty close.)

Ruth's Chris, anyone??
