  • This is so frustrating! Packages should have correct labeling! Thanks for the website; I hadn't seen that before.
  • Thanks I appreciate the explanation! It just confuses me that the unit ON THE PACKAGE is by volume when it makes sense to measure by weight!
  • : Everyone, in the begining. :smile:
  • Going out tonight! Can't decide if we will go to the vegetarian Indian buffet or something else. I loooove the buffet, Friday is Indo-China night. But of course there is the temptation to over eat, and we go there a lot!
  • Okay, thanks everyone. Seems simple enough, except... Here is another example of my current frustration: Right now I'm eating almonds. The package says a serving is 1/4 cup, or 30 grams. If a cup is my unit of measurment I'm assuming that is a volume unit. I know that 30 grams is roughly one ounce is roughly 24 almonds. No…
  • Hey everyone! My name is Jaime. I’m 30 years old. I live in Indianapolis with my husband (newlyweds!), three cats, and an adorable elderly Chihuahua. I describe myself as a lactose intolerant vegetarian who doesn’t like eggs. I’m “nearly vegan.” My husband is vegan and has been for 17 years! I would say I’ve always…

  • Panis! Sounds dirty, but its that shelf of fat obese people have on their lower stomach.
  • Mu husband works late tonight so it's dinner on my own. I'm having a baked potato with salsa and earth balance and some left over black bean soup. The soup is aaaahmaaazing and the recipie is here: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/10/stormy-black-bean-soup.html
  • Do you have a recipie to share? I think I inherited a gene that makes it impossible for me to prepare a good chana massala.

  • I recently discovered Adzuki beans and I love them! I'm sure I had been eating them before when I eat Asian food but I didn't know what it was. Usually in Asian food its just called black beans but it was never like any black beans I'm used to. Turns out it was Adzuki beans all along! They are small, black, and sweet…
  • I drink a few tablespoons a day mixed with water. I love it! It just tastes good to me. I know there are supposed to be health benefits too but I can't say I've seen any. Because I love the taste though it does help me to drink enough water.
