12 Months Vegan - Further Info pt 1

[DarkAngel0125]

I was once asked why vegans celebrate how many months they have been vegan. I told the person, I don't know about everyone else, but being vegan has saved my life. Literally. I used to be obese and still rapidly gaining weight, I used to have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I'm not even 30 yet, but I have managed to reverse all of that damage (or most of it, but I am still on my vegan journey).

Are you vegan if you've eaten honey? I want to be full vegan, but right now I'm easing out of meat, just curious so I can get my own "vegan-versary" down, haha.

when you were talking about the hyperglycemia, I was like, oh my gosh, that happens to me! eekk!

[D3clanb]

Veganversary =) It's mine... TODAY!!

[TheVeganicWitch]

YAY!!! Congrats! :-)

[donnahell]

Thanks for sharing that! Would you explain more about the course you are taking? Like, what are some of the topics, is it associated with any particular school, etc?

[TheVeganicWitch]

Tell me how to make it and maybe I will :-)

[CatCommunication]

You'd never know the difference, that's how we make them!

I like the soy creamer, he likes about 1/2 soymilk & 1/2 soy cream.

I can't stand organized religion. Spirituality is way to complicated to have been written before the connection happens.  That's why I wrote my own. Most can't understand how one can be an atheist but have a religion, but that's my deal and it works customly.

[TheVeganicWitch]

Yep, its awesome. What I love about paganism is that you could be completely atheist and still enjoy it, essentially you are free to believe whatever you want. It's hard to explain how it works but I guess mostly it comes down to not believing there is a man in the sky who watches everything you do and loves you, yet will send you to hell for eternity if you piss him off LOL XD

How do you work out percentage of body fat?

[TheVeganicWitch]

I have special scales that use impudence which is something to do with sending electricty through your body and seeing how fast it travels through you back into the scales. The scales do weight, body fat and water content so you can track how you are doing because someone could be getting fit think they are gaining weight but they may be loosing fat and gaining muscle. Some really good scales do body fat, muscle mass, bone mass and hydration as well as weight.

[TheVeganicWitch]

LOL I mean impedence, not impudence!!!!! XD

[CatCommunication]

LOL I was looking up the definition of impudence to see if there was an alternate definition that could fit in with a body-fat-measuring SCALE!!!!

Yummy intro, getting hungry again at 1.10 AM!

Good to hear good news from you.

Congratulations on the first veganversary!

What do you mean the cabin "arrived"? In one piece? Is that like a granny flat that they just drop off?

What are you eating? Recipe?

[TheVeganicWitch]

Yep to your question about the cabin, i'm going to post a montage so people know what I'm talking about.

Aha! Vegan Burger has its first customer! Well its a bread roll with stuff in it obviously LOL. I take half a block of firm tofu and marinate it in Soy Sauce, Japanese rice wine, a bit of sweet chilli sauce and sesame oil. Then I pan fry it and put it on the roll with salad and hommus, its also good with BBQ sauce :-)

[CatCommunication]

Ooooh that sounds good. Do you press the water out of the tofu first? How long do you marinate? I think I've done a similar marinade with soy sauce, rice vinegar & ginger.

If you put your tofu in a frying pan & press the water out on med. heat, just until it starts to be a little golden on each side & the popping slows down, your tofu will be like a SPONGE ready to soak up marinades!

[DigigirlAshley]

yay for your house arriving :)

[TheVeganicWitch]

Phew, here is part one. It seems there was a glitch the first time I uploaded it which wouldn't let it process.
