You are quite right. I need cookbooks. I will go to the library and get some I have been recommended. I made vegan fettucini alfredo tonight and hub and I really liked it. I didn't mean to say I was back into eating meat like a Texan or anything, just that it was getting tough. Did anyone see the Dinner Impossible with Mike Symons where he had to serve non meat products to 500 cowboys? I wish they had given more insight into exactly what he did. I should search for some of those recipes. You see, sometimes the recipes you find are from people who don't necessarily have very good palates or haven't had meat in so long they forgot how good it tastes. I am not a very all or nothing person so my goal has been to drastically reduce my poultry and other meats and to cut out regular eggs and just use home raised. But, like when I had a cold a month or two ago I made chicken wild rice soup and I had a turkey this month because it was free. And I still eat some fish and scallops and shrimp. I believe crab legs are more cruel but I am not proud of eating fish either! Still, I am gradually getting there.
