Ever quit being a vegetarian? [December 22, 2009 | 08:00 PM]

vegetarian

[armscrossed]
Has anyone gone from being vegetarian back to being an omnivore?

I've been a vegetarian for almost 10 years (I'm currently 23), but I'm having a hard time these days. I just started my career and often go out for meals with co-workers. It's getting annoying to have to get completely separate appetizers and meals that don't have meat in them. On top of that, I have to deal with people going "Why are you a vegetarian?" I'm sick of answering questions, but it's rude for me to ignore them or fire back with "Why don't you eat mustard on your cookies?"

To complicate the situation a little bit more, I took a job where I will be traveling full-time internationally for three years starting this fall/winter. I know from experience that it's difficult to be a vegetarian while traveling and I can't even imagine what it's like in foreign countries. I'm bound to start eating meat again out of necessity. Plus, there's going to be a ton of unique cuisines I don't want to miss out on.

Not to mention, I'm just not sure I want to be a vegetarian anymore. Sometimes I just miss having bacon at breakfast or diving into a giant grilled burger, but when I see it in a restaurant, it makes my stomach churn.

I'm so confused; I feel like going back to eating meat and see that I will eventually HAVE to, but it grosses me out. Anyone have any input?

Peanut Butter Crispy Treats [November 22, 2009 | 07:53 PM]

[p1nk5pider]
i got this recipe somewhere (i wanna say from Compassion Over Killing, but i'm not sure) a few years ago, and have made them every year around Christmas time to bring to work and give out for cheap gifts. It takes maybe 10 minutes to do! They're vegan because they require no marshmallows (ie no gelatin). Yay!

*6-8 cups Rice Crispies cereal
*1 cup corn syrup
*1 cup brown sugar
*1 cup peanut butter

In a large pot, heat the corn syrup and brown sugar over medium heat til boiling, stirring often. Add peanut butter, then remove from heat and add the cereal, stirring and coating evenly. Transfer to a greased 9x9-inch baking dish and let cool.
The recipe says a 9x9-inch pan but i think that's too small, unless you want really thick crispy treats. i used both a 9x13-inch and a 6x13-inch pan for one batch. Took some to work today and everyone was raving about them :)

Fishy Situation [December 22, 2009 | 05:28 PM]

vegetarian

[piccoli_baci]
Hey everyone!

I'm new to this group as well as being a vegetarian. Since I began my journey as a vegetarian, I've been struggling with the idea of eating fish and seafood. I don't eat meat primarily for ethical reasons and fish farms fall into that unethical treatment thing that I'm trying to avoid. On the other hand, eating fish and seafood would make restaurant dining eating with my family much easier.

I guess I'm just looking for your opinions and whether or not some of you eat fish and seafood. I understand that at the end of the day it's my decision but I would appreciate some guidance.

Thanks!

with little kisses,
Kristin

Sore Throat/Flu Relief Drink [December 22, 2009 | 07:32 PM]

[ mood | sick ]

I woke up yesterday with a terrible sore throat, and it seems to have become full-blown flu. Aches, cough, congestion, the whole bit. I'm feeling quite a bit better this evening, and I think it's thanks in part to this tea-like drink I made using Apple Cider Vinegar. I also used a Neti Pot, gargled with salt water, gargled with ACV & water, kept myself toasty warm, etc. All the things you do to try to make yourself feel better. Anyway, I was searching for natural sore throat "cures" and decided to combine a few ideas I'd read into one tasty drink. Since it's flu season, I thought I'd share.

1-3 Tbsp. honey (I use one)
1/8 tsp. ground cayenne
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
Add hot water, stir, cover, and steep until it's drinkable temperature
Add 3 Tbsp. ACV (Bragg's is my favorite)
If needed, add more water to fill mug.
Enjoy! (You may need to keep stirring as you drink it, so the cayenne and cloves don't all sink to the bottom)

The gargle helped immensely, too. I used a 2:1 ratio of water to ACV. I rinsed my mouth with water and baking soda, but was careful not to swallow it, so it wouldn't neutralize the ACV except on my teeth.

Hope you're all healthy and don't need this, anyway!

The thought that counts [December 20, 2009 | 12:54 PM]

vegetarian

[lurkitty]
[ mood | happy ]

As a diabetic vegetarian, I greatly appreciate the thoughtful friends who have given me beautiful dry bean soup mixes in mason jars this year instead of the usual sugary treats. These are quick things I can put into the crock pot and don't require much work.

Unfortunately, a lot of the folks who make these are not people who eat bean soup on a regular basis. They don't realize that dry beans need to be rinsed after soaking to wash out gas-promoting residues, so they include the spices right in with the beans. The lovely spices will just get washed down the drain!

As it is, I have devised a solution in the form of a colander and a plate. The spices easily go through the holes onto the plate, but the dry beans stay put.

An interesting article from the BBC... [December 20, 2009 | 09:29 AM]

vegetarian

[hidemyweakness]
I found this article this morning on a link from the BBC news page. It's generally an article that uses the typical Christmas turkey as a segway into reasons for going veg*n. I found it fairly easy to understand (although the intro is somewhat preachy) and would recommend it to anybody who's looking for a good intro article for people they know.

Think Before You Carve
by Justin Rowlatt

Can I apologise right now if the content of this blog dampens your Christmas spirit? It is about something many of us believe we should do, but very few of us actually get round to doing.
It was certainly the hardest thing I did during my "year of living ethically" for the BBC.
But Adolf Hitler managed it and so did Linda McCartney. Indeed, the government's former chief economist says we should all do it.
Are you there yet?

Got the recipe?!? [December 19, 2009 | 12:26 PM]

[zirbeau]
There has got to be a vegetarian sausage ball recipe out there... I mean, it's really just spicey cheesy bread, right?

Does anyone have a recipe for no-meat sausage balls?

I don't even think you'd need fake sausage in it - in fact, I'm sure it'd be better without the fake sausage.

substance. [December 19, 2009 | 01:26 AM]

[ music | babe i'm gonna leave you, led zeppelin ]

so this is what it comes to, me, my predictive self, and you and that glitzy girl who all our bigmouth friends tell me about. partly my own fault for wanting to know, and well i think to myself, SO WHAT? i fucked benji in his room in guelph and he made me come twice, two mindblowing times on that dick that never stops, so what if you're chasing this pretty girl around, touching her breasts on MDMA. you're like me, i suppose, trying to make your way around town, except the difference is that i have been astounded by your pretty body and the way your voice sounds when you tell me about your mother and her tough past growing up in wales, her dad a pimp and beating her up now and then. god am i just one of those people who romanticize everything? when there's really nothing? is all this just nothing?

the truth is i know that i am just mythologizing you like i do to certain people when i have been single and playing the field for a while, tired of the wet sex on nameless nights. you, who stuck around one morning to hold my head in your lap while i blew out mango flavoured smoke. i put on beirut for us, and we stayed there, late into the afternoon. that seemed like ages ago even though it was only last week. an overcast monday afternoon, or was it sunday? all the days run in together and it all becomes one continuous, tiring, long mess.

i feel like squeezing out some tears just to get the heaviness out of my chest but the oxycodone and hydrocodone will not permit me. i start to think i'm addicted.

i start to think about benji and how he delivered two otherwordly orgasms, even though at the time, i was so far removed from him, his bedroom, the freezing, dry guelph wind through the crack we opened for ventilation, the marilyn monroe poster on the wall, his mother's paintings of skeleton cats with their eyes removed. his gorgeous, plump little mother margaret, who always ends up having conversations with drunk guests of benji's at the house in lorne park.

how he always comes to pick me up from where ever i am, dropping me off late at night one time all the way from his house to toronto, so i could meet justin, like it was nothing. barely passing commerce but pulling 5 all nighters to get through it. but i mean what is this all?

i need substance, i guess that is what i am really searching for, and i thought i found it in max, but he's just another one looking after his own hunger, and aren't we all? who am i to get angry? jealousy is a human emotion and it dissipates eventually, into the rest of the haze of questions and answers in this existentialist search for __________________________.
