Hi @eth @Molliex @Angels333 @outlander and any other vegans, vegetarians or others who try
I did a lot of vegetarian cooking when my son was around - I found he behaved better and seemed happier when eating vegetarian food -
I found it was helpful to me to though I still ate meat and still do but not every day - my then-h and daughter both wanted to eat meat but put up with different vegetarian food some days - I refused to cook two meals for dinner so I would cook enough for two days and vary it - or maybe did my best
So it was vegetarian not vegan and I found cottage cheese to be a good binding agent - and got into the habit of freezing soy beans or chick peas and I would still do it I think but it is so messy - but I often make vegetable soup with barley and peas for protein - and feel really happy if that's all I have for dinner sometimes
My grand-daughter is vegan - she started this for her health and it must help as she has been doing this for a couple of years or longer - I don't think I could be totally non-meat-eating - I like it too much - and I just love the way animals eat grass and turn it into protein for me
But I do agree that vegetables are the best - I love them - I miss my vegetable soup when I go away
I hope people are getting ready for Christmas without too much hassle - the shops were busy when I went out earlier - I mailed my grand-daughter's parcel - alas - I am not used to this and posted it a bit late - I could have changed everything and sent it express but they were busy and I thought - hey - I have learned something here and I am sorry my grand-daughter is not likely to get her parcel until after Christmas but I would have paid for her to come to Melbourne if she had wanted to
And I miss her and wish she was coming down
All the best peeps
Dec
