Mad at Morningstar...
Have I been living under a rock?! I thought Morningstar Farms was going to cut back on the use of egg and dairy ingredients in their products?!... While at the store tonight I discovered that their Recipe Crumbles aren't vegan anymore, they now have eggs and milk... and upon further exploration of their website found that only four or five of their products are vegan, this seems like a reduction.... Why do companies like this have to add eggs and milk to products? Current Mood:  irate |

Hi Everyone, Thank you so much for all your advice and thoughts on my last post regarding the co-worker who has been ridiculing me on a daily basis. Today, there hasn't been any offensive conversations between us, however she forwarded a "joke" email to me that was a picture of a fox with a rifle and three dead rabbits next to it. Not a cartoon, three REAL DEAD RABBITS. Consider the following which may magnify the situation: a) I have a pet rabbit b) I was excitedly telling someone this morning that I had wild baby rabbits on my lawn grazing at 7am That was the last straw! I emailed HR and am currently waiting for a response. ( Letter to HR )Thanks again for all your support everyone! |

Sauce, please!
I'm making some whole wheat pumpkin ravioli soon but am clueless about what sauce should accompany it. I'd like to make it myself but am open to suggestions for store-bought sauces that are available in the Chicago area. It doesn't need to be super cheap, just not crazy expensive. I saw a pasta sauce recipe that called for black truffle oil, for example, and another that called for saffron. If a single ingredient costs more than $10, the recipe is not for me! I'm not picky and enjoy thick or thin, chunky or creamy, sweet or savory. I just really have no idea what to serve this pasta with since I have seen it mostly with mascarpone sauces. Thanks in advance to anybody with a good idea. : ) |

A hill of beans
Literally! Last night, I set out some beans to soak for a chili recipe I wanted to make today. Somehow, I managed to soak about four times the amount I needed. (yesterday was a..trying day, lol) Now, I've got a huge 1-gallon bag filled most of the way with a mixture of navy beans, black-eyed peas, and pink beans. Can I just stick them in the fridge for awhile until I figure out what in the hell I'm going to make with them? I've already got a bunch of meals planned out and a fridge packed full of food, so it's going to be awhile before I can use them to make any more food, lol. Maybe the freezer? Please halp, fellow cooks! |

How do you cope with a ridiculing co-worker that you need to share an office with? I've tried the direct approach and it doesn't seem to be working... And unfortunately I can't completely alienate her because: a) She's my superior b) We need to work together c) I don't want another job! Since we've been forced into an office together, she's brought up my veganism at least once a day, normally indirectly. For example, she'd been pushing for us to go and see Julie & Julia together, but when I saw a screenshot online of Meryl Streep holding an upside down raw chicken, I told her I didn't think I could handle the movie. She put on her most patronising voice and asked "realllllly?" which made me snap at her and say "don't act like it's so ridiculous" and she said "yeah, but you know it happens..." and I said "but it doesn't make it OK". THEN she tried to push a conversation about how I would react in real life if I had to deal with looking at something raw in a restaurant and I cut her off and said "I've already told you. Last time I went to the Japanese restaurant they sat a plate of raw prawns in front of me and I had to run to the toilet to puke - then I couldn't eat for the rest of the night". She just turned her head to the side and said "aww" as if she was talking to a child who'd just fallen over and grazed their knee. On other occassions she's encouraged conversations with other staff about raising and slaughtering your own meat, which has forced me to leave my office [on one occassion to go to the bathroom and bawl my eyes out]. She does things like splattering flies and spiders in front of me, even though I would gladly remove them from the room alive if I knew they were there and bothering her... I don't know what to do. Like I said, I've tried the direct approach. I've even told her to "get over it", but she just can't seem to let it go and it's emotionally draining having to defend myself every single day! Thankfully we're not sharing an office permanently but in the meantime...? >> Just for a bit of background... This woman grew up on a farm. Eating meat is the most normal thing in the world to her and she's constantly trying to draw attention to how abnormal I am. To the point of attempting to humiliate me in front of other staff members (who thankfully don't take the bait and join in). P.s. She's iron deficient. HAH! |

So, i'm having a problem. I"m quite frequently stuck in my office for long long LONG periods of time and I often don't bring enough food. Does anyone have suggestions for things that can be kept in a desk/fridge for a decent period of time as backup food? conditons: I do NOT deal well with sugar, so things like granola or granola bars are out. Also, gluten free is preferable, as is whole foods type stuff. If it has more than 7 ingredients or so, I won't eat it. That being said, suggestions? *EDIT* I should probably have said this more clearly, i'm looking for things that can be stored for a moderate amount of time that can make a meal. Snacks do not suffice when i'm stuck here for 12 hrs. |

you guys would be proud
I'm no longer vegan but today, I was browsing the blog that the owner of my gym runs on nutrition and was looking through the comments on a recent post when I came across this paragraph: "As far as supplements go I reccomend EFA's (essentail fatty acids) mostly Fish Oils capsules high in Omega-3 (look for Brands that state low or no mercury) here is some attached links. Unless you are a vegan which in that case you should find another gym and trainer, you should avoid Flaxseed oil." I did a double-take. Did he really just say that? I didn't realize veganism and fitness were mutually exclusive lifestyles. It's like the time my kickbox instructor had a difficult time wrapping his head around my unwillingness to purchase leather gloves when there were perfectly acceptable alternatives that didn't involve me wearing the dead skin of animals. Well, I wasn't going to take that BS slide so I posted a response. "I'm kind of offended by the statement about how vegans should find another gym or trainer. While some vegans are completely ignorant of their own nutritional needs, a lot of them are very much capable of working as hard as the next guy or girl (assuming they're meeting all of their nutritional needs). Mike Mahler is a vegan, as well as a strength and conditioning coach, and kettlebell instructor, that is far more than simply a respectable trainer . He's a great athlete and even trains UFC fighters. Brendan Brazier is a professional Ironman athlete, as well as a vegan. While some people may not be able to achieve peak performance following a vegan diet, it doesn't completely disqualify them from being excellent athletes. Veganism has been proven to be capable of satisfying nutritional needs and can be altered to satisfy the nutritional needs of athletes as well. There are dozens of moral/ethical arguments advocating veganism, and I myself was vegan for quite some time and still managed to get in the best shape of my life, as well as build a significant amount of muscle mass. Vegans can CrossFit, too. If we can pour our passion and energy into animal rights advocacy, we can definitely pour that same passion and energy into our WODs." I think it'd be wiser to turn down, oh, say, anyone that drinks, or stuffs their face with saturated fat on a regular basis. Buddhists advocate vegetarianism...tell them to find a new gym, too. Douchebag. |

Vegan or Not? Prius and Insight
Does anyone know if the new Toyota Prius or Honda Insight is vegan? My car broke and I need a new one (hoping to lease to avoid a maintenance trap). Apologies that this isn't exactly a ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) cheapvegan question, but this seemed like my best vegan resource. =) |
