After reading the book "Skinny *****" I recently decided to make the huge leap into becoming a vegan. I have ate all vegan friendly foods (no meat, fish, honey, dairy, sugar, lots of candies and even changed my toothpaste) for the last month. I am still learning about what restrictions I have, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. The book has a long list of hidden ingrediants to look for and their definition. I am shocked at all the ways animals are incorporated into the foods I was used to consuming. Does anyone know of any good publications or websites that may aid me in this new lifestyle. I have had lots of ridicule from half of my family and the other half seems supportive. Also, my husband has no interest in joining me on this diet, but also doesn't want me to put our two children on it either.

Hey!! I have one for the chocolate lovers:
Oreo Cookie Truffles
1 package oreos
8oz cream cheese
8oz semisweet bakers chocolate

Crush all but four cookies (don't eat the cookies!!!)
Place crushed cookies in a large mixing bowl
Mix in cream cheese until well blended (best by hand)
Roll into 1" balls, place aside
Melt all 8oz chocolate in a small deep saucepan or pot until smoothe, be sure not to burn it!!
Using forks, roll or dip oreo-cream cheese balls in chocolate until covered completely
Place on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper
Take the four cookies you put aside and crush until fine
Sprinkle crumbs over still wet chocolate covered oreo-cream cheese balls
Place in fridge for about 2 hours or until you can't wait to eat them.

ENJOY!

Is it really just two dollars? Is it good? And can it be bought via the internet and shipped to me? I haven't seen it in my area.

Are shells considered to be vegan? Or are just certain ones considered not vegan? I have a necklace made of shells, and I have collected shells from the ocean. What's the perspective on this issue?

I have heard people say fish isn't meat since the 1960s when I was in grade school. I remember being annoyed when the Catholic kids said that even though I wouldn't be a vegetarian for another 20 years. (It was a public school, but we had a lot of Catholic kids, and the cafeteria served fish on Friday to accomodate them).

I keep on correcting people who say they are vegetarian and eat fish (or birds or whatever), and it's obvious I'm fighting a losing battle. People apparently don't read dictionaries anymore, they just make up definitions for words and then the dictionary eventually changes due to popular definition--that's the way it works in the USA.

Why fight it? If somebody asks me, I'll just say I'm a lacto-herbivore. With any luck it will never catch on. Even if it does, I will probably be dead by the time American celebrities start say "I'm an herbivore but I eat fish."

That is the question of the day. I had a rather unique dish
myself. I had some skillet fried shrimp with, beef flavored
noodles, mixed with geen peppers. It was delicious !
Nice and fat free eating. That is what I am talkin' about......
The fall season is here, and I wanna be more creative
this time around. What did you have for dinner on last
night ? Best dinner wins.

I'm having a party for about 30 people, during the afternoon. I'm going to order trays of food but I'm not sure how much to order. I plan on some cold cut platters, bread, rolls and some hot dishes. I'm not sure how much of each thing I should order and how I should order it - full tray/half tray, per pound, etc.

today for lunch, i has batchelor's pasta and sauce (tomato, onion and herbs) and it was sooo tasty. The pasta was little bit of twisty pasta bits.

So, i am now officially hooked on pasta. What else can i make,and what kind of sauces go with pasta?

I did eat lasagne once, but i didnt like the cheese and mince mix.

The office tramp has kindly informed me that my sperm is tasting foul. She puts it down to the fact that i am consuming rather large amounts of smoked salmon as part of my high protein diet.

Without making silly comments like, sounds a bit fishy to me or do you want some chips with that mate, as i have heard them all.

Can our diet affect so strongly what we are or smelling or tasting like?

Last year we did this and it seemed everyone sat with their own department and no one got to know anyone from other departments. This year we wanted to make sure it gets mixed up so we decided to do something like make each table a different reindeer and let the guest draw a reindeer at the door when they come in....Anyone have any other funny ideas?

HI.. I tried deep frying last night for the first time in FOREVER.. I got a craving for chineese cream-cheese filled won-tons.. I got wonton wrappers and cream cheese, stuffed, folded, and put them into hot oil.. they get golden within seconds.. Anyway..

But within minutes after being taken out of the oil they were soft and "soggy".. THey still tasted alright.. but I still have lots of wonton wrappers and cream cheese, so I'm going to be doing this again.. What did I do wrong? Any tips for how to deep fry (in a pan of hot vegetable oil, not a special "deep fryer") and keep them crisp, at least until I can sit down and enjoy them???

THanks!!
