Hey everyone. I'm writing this as I recover from a nasty sore throat. But in the last few months I have never felt better in my life. And I know that is due to the fact I am eating more veggies and fruits. So I am asking for help from everyone here: I am seriously considering becoming a vegetarian. I am not eating as much meat as I used to. But I do know I am not interested in becoming a vegan, at least not yet.
But are there certain steps in heading off the meat and starting on a new veggie like menu? Lifestyle changes obvisouly take time. It took me three years to lose over 60 pounds. But my internet research has turned up more misinformation than I care to wade through. Please help! I am pretty serious about this. It started when I hit my goal weight a few months ago. Just after that I started doing more veggie dishes, with the help of some articles from Men's Heath Magazine ( cooked Cauliflower sans butter is excellent!! ). But after seriously thinking about it, and I have been thinking about it all year, the time has come for me to pursue it and see what happens.
Help?

I want to choke this comment up to mental heath and artistic integrity. The Group Photo is reminiscent to a Stairway To Heaven so while I am normally a bit more asking of literally keeping on topic in a given group I hope all can see the conceptual continuity here.
I went to see Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience and the performance was all about artistic integrity. In my view JBLE is not a cover band, it is professional excellence of the highest regards.
To make an analogy, what Dweezil Zappa Plays Zappa is for live Frank Zappa music JBLZE is for Led Zeppelin. Our party of four all agreed with me on that thought. I did have a back stage pass where I had hoped to share my sentiments with the band but unfortunately I arrived just before showtime and could not stay for after-show festivities. If anyone is a fan of Led Zeppelin I highly suggest seeing this show. In addition to the music the multimedia production is an extremely unique and personal experience taken from the Bonham family archives, it makes use of film, motion graphics and images that fit extremely well with the works of Led Zeppelin. Peace!

I think this group should come back to life! Tripmyster, you're on the right path.. and what an interesting photo you posted.. sad to see we strayed like that, but maybe.. just maybe, we really will go back to "eating the roots" if you will..
Great day today. Finished setting up a 8' x 8' workout area in our basement. Quite a bit of clearing out to make room. This is a sub basement that had been used for storage. Tomorows garbage pickup will be pushing the limits on how much you are alllowed to leave curbside so all sytems are not only go for my daily workouts and but also for my eldest daughters martial arts practice.
Speaking of my daughter, she had half a day at school today so with the weather being very good we went to a large local park wher she rode her bycicle and I walked our younger girl in a stroller while she took a long nap. Not that the walk was high impact but it was an hour of excersize.
Came home and I made some fresh lentil soup, made with mushroom stock, carrots, celery, a few multi colored peppers, onion, garlic, bay leaf and some oregano. No carbs just the soup. Made a salad beforehand with shredded romaine, fresh figs, red onion, EVO and fig vincotto. I finely slice my red onions ahead of time and soak them in water to mellow them out. It's that time of year where the figs ar…Read more

It's that time of year where the figs are fresh out back in the yard and the fig vincotto is an amazing product to pair with that.

A lil tip 4 anyone who wants 2 or has 2 stay away from dairy: I have substituted almost any dairy with coconut milk. You may have 2 invest some time until you have found the right brand (proper ingredients, taste and texture - there's quite a few differences, just like with wine), but if you have, it even tastes great in coffee! Plus it's so much healthier...
I hope most of you know this, but just in case (and especially 4 the ones who have kids):
Stay away from aspartame (almost any chewing gum contains it, apart from many light products) and fluoride. Aspartame is one of the biggest toxins, as - depending on your given biochemistry - it can turn into formic acid in the system.
Fluoride isn't any better, it affects the thinking apparatus, which is especially unfortunate 4 kids while they grow - no wonder your governments promote the heavy intake of this substance.
Be careful with vaccinations, as they contain heavy metals, which they suddenly started using since the early 90s, if I'm correct. There's a number of homeopathic remedies who can help you detox those metals once they have entered the body.

I'll be culinary hunting for wild mushrooms today. With all the figurative emulation of "Summer's Over" as if back to school maneuvers is society's differences between the literal, I pronounce we still have 21 days of summer ahead of us, and but also the Indians taught us all a bit about fall harvest and extending the season.
So in preperation an "Ode to Autum" has me thinking "Wild Mushroom Friccasse over Buckheat Polenta". When there is no concerns of fats I would normally make a creamy polenta, being of a more healthy conciousness and lifestyle is of concern I will easily substitute the earthful flavors of buckwheat polenta over the creamy corn meal preperation that has too much fat content for my dietary intake these days.
For thos that have been enjoying my weekly "Call Any Vegetable Recipe", Cauliflower will be just ahead or rolling in at the same time. The reason being is that mushrooms are not a vegetable, funghi to be exact.
May the writing of a young John Keats ring in the season, recipes and healthy lifestyle that will continue.
