I love this website - VegWeb has the best recipes around!  I've been using the recipes for a while  now, and finally got around to joining.  I've been vegetarian for almost 10 years and vegan for the last five, and have had a hard time finding ideas for "good" food.  If anyone needs support and encouragement, it's us vegans - I still get funny looks when I tell most folks I'm vegan (or blank stares if they don't know what that means) and too many people still ask me, "If you don't eat meat, dairy or eggs, what DO you eat?"  I get offered salads and steamed vegetables (which I dislike), and not much else, and family and friends have a way of making too big a fuss about meals, causing me to feel even more like an outsider.  So, I'm learning to cook more delicious and varied vegan dishes, and plan on, if not converting folks to becoming vegan, at least teaching them that even us "weird" vegans can eat pretty well.
