Any vegetarian Prius owners here?

Raises hand <---

I prowl around looking for Indian and Thai food.

 

I would hope at least 25% would be, and hopefully 10% vegan, I think a recipe exchange is a great idea.

 

20+ year veg here, GreenGuy. :hippie:

Ignore the sarcastic comments from those who don't get it, that's nothing new!

 

Yes.

I'm an aspiring Raw Vegan - though I am very willing to share my wealth of vegan recipes!

 

Aspiring Veggie here. A couple things I don't know if I can do without once in a while, although maybe I'm underestimating myself. I do seem to have just quit coca-cola after a 5 day bout with food poisoning. I figured I already went through the withdrawal, why not stop them. It's been easy. I even have some on ice and no real desire for them. So maybe I don't need my once in a blue moon bacon fix which would be nice so that I don't get made fun of when I order a veggie burger with bacon.

So, with that said, if I am allowed to read and post here... I shall. Although I'm not very adventurous with food so I don't know if I'll be very helpful.

 

Are there any Prius owners out there who are Lutheran?

 

I am not. I am thinking about it, though.

Just wanted to say, GreenGuy, that if you are ever in Lowell Massachusetts there is a great vegetarian/vegan restaurant called Life Alive. It is my favorite place to eat now and one of the reasons I'm considering becoming a veg.

 

Lowell is right off of 495, near the intersection with Rte 3. It's an old mill town which they've tried to rehabilitate many times over the years. It has some beautiful old buildings, canals, cobblestones, and converted mill buildings, as well as some nice museums (railroad, textiles, quilt). Great for ethnic food, as pretty much everyone there is--ethnic. There is a nice little arts district about 2 blocks long. Much of the city is pretty rough.

The best reason to come is probably the Lowell Folk Festival in the summer (it's free). It's more like world music than folk days.

Where do you live in R.I.? I lived in Providence for a summer when I first moved to New England. I am still fascinated by the R.I. accent.

 

For several years back in my twenties. Was never a purist about it though. Someone told me once, better a broken stomach than a broken heart (when being offered food). Something about spending some time on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and going back to law school turned me back into a carnivore! Still try to eat reasonably healthy though, including some vegetarian meals.

LOL, I went through Lutheran sunday school and confirmation. Gave it up when I entered my agnostic phase. I think it was all over for me when our minister told us our cats and dogs couldn't go to heaven!

 

Yeah, I agree, what kind of place is heaven if you can't have pets?

If anyone took offence to my earlier comments on this thread I am sorry, ...

... but you need to get a sense of humour.

I was almost a vegitarian in my late teens, after I moved out of home. Although I would eat milk, cheese, eggs and every now and then, fish or chicken.

 

I've been a vegetarian since 15, so 14 years now. I still eat milk and egg products sometimes; it's pretty tough to dine out otherwise. My favorite restaurants here in Vancouver are Bo Kong and the Naam. :hungry:

 

Uhhh...isn't everybody 'ethnic'?

 

I have been flexitarian for more years then I can count. I do eat fish.

 

I'm a "vegetarian", but sometimes a closet meat eater on occassion. But I was a vegetarian for about 8 years. I am trying to eat meat because it's healthier, and trying to make babies in the near future, and I want strong healthy kids.
