you buy the groceries and I will do the cookin! I'm hungry anytime!

Welcome!

HOla! Welcome aboard!

Welcome Brandon! Any Vegan hotspots in Salem?

you could always build a robot and send it shopping for you!

I am no expert but maybe eating coconut (whole fruit) is not so bad, but using a concentrated form (the oil) is not so good.

I miss the Southside! I remember when the Beehive first opened in Oakland and then they added the 2nd location in Southside. I hope you all can make it to VV so I have someone to talk Pixburghese with! Did you apply for financial assistance? We have been raising money to help folks get here. Sounds like you are having a really great time. Except for the awful groundhog killling...were you saying the guy who was doing that was a Krshna follower?

Just got back from taking my exam! I passed with high scores in all sections! One down, one to go! I can officially get licensed in the state of Washington now.

Thank you guys! I am taking the test this morning. I am excited to have it over with (as long as I pass) and to start preparing for my practicals! I will let you know how I did!

Really nice definition. I can differentiate between whcih muscles are which. i will refer back to these pictures when I am studying my Kinesiology! I think that it is awesome that you are using the playground equipment. I like for people to see that they don't have to have money to belong to a gym to work out...(even though it is nice).

So, I am frantically studying for my National Exam toward becoming Licensed as a Massage therapist. I have basically been preparing for this for a whole year. I am feeling very under prepared and stressed, I will fell awful if I fail it, and it will be a couple of hundred (or more) dollars to retake it i fail and more time. I have a hard time sitting down for hours and taking a test, plus the wording can be confusing and not what I am used to. the anxiety is building and the clock is ticking. On one hand I want to stay up late to study, on the other hand I know I ought to get good rest and feel confident with what I know and have learned. Loveliberate is at work, so I am mixing studying with taking care of the kids and the housework... not actually that different that my whole year in school. Luckily the kids are being pretty mellow right now. I have a review book and there are online resources that I am using. I also plan to go over my school materials. Well that is all for now, I just wanted to vent. Wish me luck...and send positive thoughts my way! thanks!

Sounds like a good thing to celebrate....but not for the fish. What is the reason for the specific foods chosen? I don't know if you could get it there, but you can actually buy vegan fish here, usually in the Asian markets

Oh...Hi! You can buy the in bulk at Peoples Co op in the refridgerator section. Probably at Alberta Co op too, (in bulk). Other than that I have seen them on the shelf at whole foods, New Seasons and Wild Oats. Hope you find some!

Vegan vacation is happening here in Portland next month. This will be the second one and lots of forum members will be attending, so it a great time to have some fun and meet forum members in the flesh. We will be having a forum members only retreat at the beach and then some activities here in town that are open to everyone. At the end of the main page here on the forum you will see a few topics relating to VV...Check them out, and as always if you still have questions please don't hesitate to ask. I hope you can make it.

those look good! Were they? You could also add raw corn and pepitas! I want to make more raw entrees! We should pick a few recipes from my raw food recipe books and get together and make a meal sometime soon.

loveliberate is alwaysgood at finding things like that! I don;t know of any lists out there, you would probably be better off to compile one yourself.

Here in Portland I just but them at any healthfood store. Some places we can even buy them in bulk. I am sure that if you can not find them in your town, that you could order them online.

It was great hanging out with you while you were here Lizworld...We are glad you will be coming back to Portland and excited to hang out with you some more! Sorry we missed the party!

welcome trueboo! Portland is a great place to live! I love it more and more all of the time! Being vegan here is soooooo easy! But I still go to Food Fight! (the vegan grocery) and check labels...habit I guess! Seattle is a nice week end trip too and extremely vegan friendly! There is actually 2 all vegan lunch buffetts there, one is Thai and one is Mediterranian!

Welcome Beth! I love Grocery Outlet! I find great stuff there for cheap! I lived in Phoenix for a short time, but it was way, way, way too hot for me!

Welcome Destiny! Think you will join us for vegan vacation?

That was a really fun day! Bagby is a great place to spend the day especially when you are with your friends! I hope we get a chance to take a trip up for vegan vacation! Which hot springs should we go to next?

Thanks Robert! I expect to see you in my office from time to time!

Good to see you here! I like your picture! I will keep my eyes open for a roomie! P.S. We met last year at VV and talked at Vegfest at the VBB&F table! I am the mama of 3! Hope to see you this year at VV
