Snuggly I am soooo green with envy! Which resort are you off to? I actually dreamt about the snow last night. Miss it so bad!(DP and I are huge keen snowboarders) waaaaa
Cherished-How did your herb jungle turn out??
NaNa- Gotta love tvp spag. Tastes so good, but man it does BAD things to my bowels!
Aliash- Good to see you back. How good are the not burgers?! We had them in salad wraps for dinner on friday. Yummy with soy mayo and avo. I have always been a big spicy food fan, but since BF I had to tone it down so Im weaning myself back onto it slowly...
Last night DP made a pasta salad for dinner. Its Dad night sundays so he has to cook which is nice as Ive become a bit of a kitchen power tripper since being SAHM
Not working Christy! Bother! Can't wait to see it.
Snow was good. Just got in. Flying to Sydney tomorrow for this TV thing, then again for a hens night on the weekend. The carbon guilt is enormous and it aches! (or maybe that's from the skiing?)
Qantas excelled themselves with the vegan meals. Brekkie was cornflakes with soy and the yummiest warm fruit bread, and a banana. Dinner out of CBR was vegie hotpot with rice, bread roll and mandarin. Not bad, really. And the friend we stayed with cooked mountains and mountains of vegan food, and did a great job! Especially one dish, which was a pumpkin pasta, served inside a hollowed out roasted pumpkin. There was heaps of leftover pumpkin, and I ate heaps of it - heavenly!
Christy I tried to open your link the other day when you posted but if didn't work and it's still down today.. I love new ways to change pumpkin soup so what did you put in it?
SnugBug that's great about your food hon, I've never been to the snow! It's not really on my to do list either (any time soon anyway) I don't think I would like skiing as I dislocate my knees heaps and it just seems far to dangerous for me I need to stick to non-contact sports, swimming and the gym... I would however love to snuggle in a log cabin in the snow with an open fire eating the most delicious vego stew with freshly made bread
So my food has been pretty boring lately! I couldn't even tell you what I've been eating as there's nothing new... I did enjoy my green curry for lunch the other day though..
A kid I know - who is three- has turned himself vegetarian! went to the butcher with mum, saw the animals hanging, started asking questions, and now refuses to eat meat! I am so proud. Will have to come up with lots of recipes to give his mum to help her out!
YAY how great is that! i think kids are getting smarter these days A girl I know saw a butcher draging a lamb across the floor when she was about 12 and didn't eat meat again for for 15 years... she eats meat now though..... Ahhhh who was it that said if abattoirs had glass walls we would all be vegetarian? I think if all children saw what that little 3 year old saw none of them would ever eat meat...
sorry I've been awol lately, but things have been a bit hectic! Anyways, we're moving to Brisbane in the next month!! So you folkies up there better get started on the recommendations and suppliers of the good, good stuff (like tofu and spices!) for me pleeeeease!! It's been forever since I ate out in Brisbane, let alone shopped for food (other than wholesale stuff) so any advice would be most welcome.
Hope you're all well!
I think children have a genuine interest in, and affinity for, animals. Sadly, some parents and society lie to them about where their meat comes from. Children love their family pets and would not contemplate eating them. I believe that young children would choose not to eat animals if they knew the truth (ie. that an animal had been killed against its will to feed them). As adults, that reality has been suppressed for years or decades and people have become desensitised to that fact.
As I said in a previous post, we read children's books about animals, we teach nursery rhymes about animals, we point out the car window 'look harry, there's a doggy!'. We teach our infants how to make animal noises, and then they are served animals for dinner. Why is there a distinction between a pig or a dog? Why does society find it acceptable to raise one for food (in the horrors of the factory farm) while the other is regarded as '[hu]man's best friend'. While on this topic, did anyone watch a show on ABC1 called 'Nick in the Life'? The presenter, Nick, hung out with pig shooters and kangaroo 'cullers'. Very interesting and upsetting. A kangaroo was shot, and then a joey was discovered in her pouch. In order to kill the joey, the hunter trod on his/her neck. Very sad. Ask your average child what they think of that and I bet they would be horrified.
