Exercise

feeds@yuku.com (SurlyCurmudgeon) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:29:47 GMT

I'm writing this because I remember a few conversations about exercise and fitness over the last few years, and wanted to give those interested something of a personal testimonial.

Around June of this year, my wife and I started P90X, which you may have seen advertised on infomercials. We went through the whole program once, and now are using it in a four-week...

flu shots

feeds@yuku.com (gypwytch) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:07:26 GMT

Mom and I went in this morning so that mom could get the regular seasonal flu shot and the H1N1 shot, the health unit was doing a public health clinic at our civic center. All the fliers sent out said it was for everybody, and it was from 8am to 6pm, we get there and find out they changed it to 9am to 7pm, and only for at risk/high risk people. I can't have the shots because of allergies, but we figured mom would be considered high risk because she has only one working lung and asthma,...

Winter reading recommendations

feeds@yuku.com (Little Miss Cake Monster) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:08:10 GMT

I don't know how things are where you guys live, but when winter rolls around in my city, I don't do much in the way of leaving my home. (There's a reason I live three blocks from where I work.) As it's nearly refuse-to-leave-the-house time, I'm looking for some book recommendations -- preferably non-fiction, preferably vegan-y and/or animal rights-y. Aaand GO!

Top 5 meals

feeds@yuku.com (1dandelion) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 08:35:18 GMT

Hi there, I am always struggling to come up with different ideas for meals, especially weekday dinners, when you don't have time or energy for anything too fancy. I thought if we each shared our top 5 standbys, we'd have a nice list to consult when we're running out of ideas or are bored with the same old, same old....

Here are mine:

perogi/Tofurkey sausage/sauerkraut casserole
chili
fajitas
breakfast for dinner (i.e., sausages, baked...

Boooooo!!

feeds@yuku.com (veganfoodie) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:10:54 GMT

Happy Halloween to you all tomorrow. Doing anything special? We don't get any kids where I live. I stopped getting candy in the hopes of getting some so that I don't eat them myself. Not that there are many vegan ones out there.

The Seventies!

feeds@yuku.com (veganfoodie) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:44:28 GMT

Went to a 50th birthday party Saturday night with a seventies theme. The birthday boy had bought one of those "as seen on TV" DVD special of a show called Burt Sugarman's Saturday Night Special.
9 DVDs, each featuring one year's worth of special musical appearances of that year's hottest songs. I wasn't familiar with this show since I didn't grow up in North America but man, we had a fabulous time. The songs, the hair, the outfits!!!!!!!!. Many artists were...

moldy oldie

feeds@yuku.com (NikoleK) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:14:28 GMT

anyone have any tempeh laying around they can take a look at?
a few days ago i bought a couple packages of stuff that had a SELL BY DATE of tomorrow 29th.
i thought no biggie, that's just the sell by date, so it should still be good up until then, right?
well i chowed about half the package, then noticed when i broke some apart that its a tad fuzzy
inside...
does it always look like this???...

How to?

feeds@yuku.com (Carrie) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 02:02:18 GMT

Good Morning! I've recently realised that I am very apologetic about being vegan, for years I have been so anxious not to offend and keep the peace that I have let people get away with being really rude about my beliefs because I could not see the difference between being non confrontational and being walked over. So I'm at the point now where I am ready to stand up for myself-but I don't really know how to it! I was wondering if anyone had any tips from their own experiences they...

vegan cheeses for us Canadians

feeds@yuku.com (veganfoodie) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 05:34:03 GMT

FYI, to those who are dying to try those vegan cheeses out there that haven't been available (easily) in Canada, the online store VivaGranola is now offering Teese and will soon offer Daiya and cheezly too.
Has anyone tried anyone of those and are they worth it? The only vegan cheese available to me locally are Follow your heart/Earth Island and I don't like it too much. I have tried sheese but wasn't over the moon over it either.
I'm game to try everything once...

Quick veggie stock?

feeds@yuku.com (Hippie Van) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 11:41:17 GMT

A lot of vegan recipes seem to call for vegetable stock...unfortunately, I have a severe sensitivity to MSG and can't use the store-bought kind. I've tried looking up recipes to make it myself, but they all require at least an hour to make, which I usually don't have time for.

So I was wondering if anyone had some ideas for how I could make either some quick vegetable stock or something that would be a suitable substitute. So far, I've just been using salt water,...

inserting images?

feeds@yuku.com (1dandelion) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 06:33:06 GMT

I can't seem to insert images or smilies since the board switched to yuku.... It's not blocked pop-ups....... When I click on the icon, nothing happens. I was able to copy and paste a smiley, but not a photo. Can anyone advise?

sore paw

feeds@yuku.com (1dandelion) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 06:30:34 GMT

One of our babies ripped her nail off a back paw, while running around the yard. It happened one week ago and we thought it was healing (the toe wasn't hurt, but it's as though her nail was cut off right at the base of the toe). It's started bleeding again and she didn't seem herself yesterday. Not sure if the vet could really do anything....it does not look infected. Any advice?

Wedding Menu

feeds@yuku.com (APMorgan) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 23:51:34 GMT

My fiance and I are planning a wedding for June of 2010. The place we are looking at for both the ceremony and reception provides their own caterers and we wouldn't be allowed to bring any outside caterers. They did mention that as they want to customize it to our needs, it may be difficult to provide a vegan meal. Mind you, it is all buffet style so we really only have to stick to one main dish. On their menu samples they only have one (almost) vegetarian option which includes the...
