I use Shelfari mainly to keep track of favorite books I might want to read again, or recommend to friends... I also use the "plan to read" shelf as a wish list, so that I don't forget which books I want next (hint, hint, shoppers!). I can't possibly take the time to enter all books I've read, or am reading, or own; I'd have no time left for... more »

    I'm experimenting with a blog about my vegetarian-ish experiment: http://myyearoflivingvegetarian.blogspot.com/ If you have insomnia, you might want to glance at it!

    I love your recipes and remarks (esp about the "Jehovah mandate"!) on vegweb! I've put your vegweb page in my bookmarks toolbar in Firefox, to encourage me this year as I try to be pretty much vegetarian...

    Thanks Tanya! I'll check out that Alexandria Forum, sounds like my kind of stuff. :) Hope your New Year was grand, and as 2010 gets underway, hope that grandness multiplies!

    I pulled up the www.ecovore.com but it only brings me to the name selling domain of eco... I think your idea is great, and I'd love to get involved. So would my husband, he usually has SO MUCH more to say than I....(I'm the quiet one, lol.)

    What a great-looking site! Thanks! No rush on other sites, just if you come by them while you're looking for yourself! I love your niece's expression!

    Tanya, thanks for making me aware of your site. I went to it yesterday and perused it and a few of the links. It is very organized, eye-pleasing and, most of all, meaningful. I plan to share it with interested friends. I imagine that it took a lot of time to create. Thanks for spending the time and sharing your knowledge and passion.

    Wish me luck/perseverance! With your appealingly rational example, I've planned out being lacto-ovo vegetarian this year, with the occasional fish when I eat out. I'm assuming I'll find some niacin- and iron-fortified cereals. Let me know any other favorite vegetarian (not vegan-only) sites you adore...

    Thanks! Happy New Year to you! I couldn't get www.ecovore.com to work, but my internet is flaky. I'll retry later! Sounds interesting! Meanwhile I was just doing more research on vegetarianism for myself when I read your note! I think my main deficiency with that here would be niacin rather than B12 and E which I was concerned about; I'll check this week if supplements are available here (few are but I hope they'll have some decent imported breakfast cereal with it).

    Thank you so much for pointing out the vegweb.com site! The only reason I don't go 100% vegetarian is because of (human!) health reasons -- hard to get B12, that sort of thing -- are there any book(s) you recommend on taking care of those questions? Thanks!

    I was going to recommend Craig Child's Animal Dialogues and see that you've got it on your list. Oh, wait until you read these passages. His prose is so exacting that I could actually sense fear, thirst, curiousity, exhaustion right along with him. If you like this, you'll also like House of Rain.

    Hello Tanya. Just a quick note with my sincere Christmas good wishes to you and your family.
    I have so much enjoyed your posts to the Alex' Forum.. This has been my window on the world this past year.
    Your straighforwardness, common sense and humour reminds me so much of someone I remembered many years ago. I look in the mirror each day and he is still around, but looking decidedly like his father!
    Have a great Holiday season. Jay

    Thanks Tanya. Yes! I know what you mean. And the debate we were having was certainly passionate. What I really hate about the creation/evolution debate is the - "every intelligent person believes evolution" compulsion. Intellectual bullying - if you don't believe it then your intelligence has to be questioned, and you have nothing worthwhile to bring to the discussion. And then, when things aren't travelling too well in the proof dept., or questions raised show up an untenable position, the thing to do is not take the heat off by coming back and disparaging something you see as ridiculous on the other side... just deal with questions raised and be honest. "Oh, I had never looked at it that way before. Yes! That is worth thinking about." Etc.

    hi tanya! yes, i recently started a blog and part of what i write about is cooking and entertaining. i'm not writing about recipes in any of the books i own, however, i do use them to educate myself about flavor affinities, textures, traditional uses of ingredients, and ways to add a twist through fusion and substitution.
    i bought the book "clean food" because i wanted to learn more about that kind of eating. there are many ingredients used in this book that i've never used before, and i have many friends, family and acquaintances who are either vegan, vegetarian, or alternative eaters for religious reasons.
    i am none of the above, however, i do believe in the benefits of eating close to the source and based on what is naturally grown in respective seasons. i buy/cook organic when i can, and i try and do a couple of meatless meals each week.
    so for those reasons, i've found the book very useful in learning about how to use unfamiliar ingredients in my improvisations. i haven't yet applied that knowledge yet, as i just got the book about a week ago. :)
