Not very PC, but it did make me smile!

Hi Busygirl -

I never eat tofu just plain, without any seasoning or marinade (as its shown in my avatar). I find it waaay to bland and unappealing that way. But, when marinated or seasoned, or fried, I really do like it. One of my favorite things to do is cook it with Mexican Taco Seasoning. Yum! Very very flavorful and delicious in tacos!

I can't recall ever having been called a "nutter" (to my face) for being vegetarian. haha. But I have cooked veggie meals for many of my reluctant carnivorous friends and they were pleasantly surprised at how good veggie food can be.

England has been great as far as finding good vegetarian options to eat. But, I am originally from San Francisco, California, and that area is VERY veggie-friendly, so I do miss a lot of the veggie food I always bought there. But, I'm sure when I move back to the U.S. I will miss a lot of the great British vegetarian foods that aren't available in the U.S.!

Are you thinking of going vegetarian? You can certainly do it without ever even eating tofu. When I went vegetarian, it was several years before I finally started eating tofu. The thought of it grossed me out, to be honest! But now that I've learned how to cook with it and get creative, I'd say I eat it at least five times a week!

Our best friends are veggies, and we have to admire them for it. I can tell you, they didn't suffer the anguish we did when news of CJD was announced (and a friend of our kids has actually been diagnosed - absolutely heartbreaking). But, did we change? Nope, afraid not. Convinced ourselves that the pesticides etc on veg are also potentially harmful, and that the only safe way is to 'grow your own' - quite impossible.

Just call me an ostrich!

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend with CJD. So sad.

I find myself going through phases of paranoia about pesticides and all the toxins in the environment, but then I stop because my brain can't cope with all that worrying! Sometimes I buy organic veggies, but most of the time I don't because they cost so much more!

Oooh... I like your idea of growing your own food! Sounds like a great diet plan! With my black thumb, I'd probably manage to grow about one carrot a year!

Get your name down for an allotment. I`ve got one (a double, actually) and they`re a great source of fresh air, exercise and vegetables grown any way you want.

That's a great idea. I walk by the allotments in my area each year and am so jealous looking at all the great gardens! This is the time of year to start planting. Have you got an allotment, Val?

Val I dont think I could inflict my children on the old guys at the allotments.  It wouldnt be fair, they only go there to get away from their wives. 

Sorry Wildie.

Yes, I`ve got a double allotment, I love tofu. I`ve had it for ten years now. Dare I say that allotmenting is nearly as interesting as camping?

I go there to get away from my Hubby...and the kids, sometimes! I think at least 1/3rd of the plots on our site are held by families, 1/3 by couples or younger single folk of both sexesand only the last 1/3rd by old guys. Except me, of course, who`s the token grumpy old bat in the corner.

Am going to buy some some nemaslug (nematode solution) tomorrow.  I get a magazine called 'Grow Your Own' and so far spend more time reading that than gardening.
