Super pumped! I am really excited for new recipes and a new diet :) I even convinced my omnivore husband to become vegan, which was no easy feat. I've been vegetarian for 10 years and vegan for 1 day 8) so if you have any advice for me that's great. Talk to you guys soon!

people are always weary of veganism... "OMG you don't eat cheese? you are a psycho"... you can say vegetarian and people understand, you know since we would all die without cheese and all... vegans are apparently crazy people because they eat food that's actually healthy for them and not loaded with artery clogging meat and dairy... knock their socks off with some amazing vegan grub... that will shut the haters up!

Glad to see you here! There's a t-shirt or something I saw once: "When vegetarians grow up, they become vegans"... Welcome to grown-up cooking! ;D

Ignore most of what other humans say (about most subjects -- not just this one!); most of 'em are filled with nonsense, and definitely should NOT be taken seriously...

Anyway... enjoy VegWeb!
