I find that the easiest way to adopt not eating meat is to not be too harsh about it. I really try to avoid eating beef (only have it for special occasions), since it's terrible for you and the environment. I've never had a habit of eating lamb/pork/ect so those don't matter. I generally allow myself much more leniency when it comes to chicken (in salads), since isn't nearly as harmful as beef. I usually eat 2-3 chicken salads a week, since the dining halls at my university don't really offer good salads without chicken. The non-chicken salads are usually covered with fatty dressing, which isn't good at all. | ||

I have always preferred Lans but I know that Uvic CSL guys meet once a week at the uvic campus. That may be on halt this summer, but it would start up come fall. | ||

I thought it was funny until I realized it could ACTUALLY matter to you, so I just edited. I love meat a lot and would not become a vegetarian, but it is good for the environment (to obtain 1 kg of beef you need to feed the beef like xxxxx kilos of soya and corn that you could have eaten if you were a vegetarian, and xxxxxx liters of water. Without mentioning the beef flatulences...). So gl, I mean it.  | ||

I am fully expecting at the end of the month to go running back to meat unless this somehow magically sticks. Fun month regardless though. | ||

But I'd probably kill anyone who dares to eat an In-N-Out burger in front of me. | ||

Eating vegetarian food is not terribly difficult in Chinese cuisine, as meat is often used for flavour, rather than consumption. | ||

Chill, and infinity21 can vouche for the anitjitos unless they have forgotten their taste as its been a few years since I made them for them haha. If you have any decent vegetarian recipes though I'd be glad to give em a try. Asian cuisine in general I really only know how to fuse their flavours with ingredients I am familiar with. | ||

Off of the top of my head, I know two dishes that are really tasty: Egg with tomatoes Mapo tofu I don't know the exact recipe, as Chinese cooking is mostly by guestimation (for family cooking at least), so it's really dependent on experience and observations. I would suggest looking up proper recipes on the internet than getting it from me. I am also very fond of Korean tofu stews (or just tofu in general). | ||

Love the stuff though, it's probably one of the first things my mom taught me how to make. If I were going vegetarian, I'd probably go for a lot of Indian cuisine. A lot of the vegetarian curries feel very substantial and flavourful that you don't really miss the meat at all. Ask Artosis for recipes? He's a vegetarian right? Good luck, I look forward to seeing how you do and maybe trying a few recipes that you share. | ||

Google it, it's a meat substitute that's really great. By the way, cheese is your friend, don't ever forget that | ||
