I know I could do it. I quit smoking almost two years ago and have cut down to a couple pops a month. if i can do that I can do anything!!!<br /><br />Let me know if you find some good books.<br /><br />Blessings, V.Vivienne Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521668500782189081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177935673290025151.post-38264352119705499672011-11-26T19:37:47.648+00:002011-11-26T19:37:47.648+00:00Vivienne,

I have managed to dramatically cut down, but would love to find the strength to make it all the way. I suppose having to cook for two non-vegetarians every day doesn't help, but the failing is mine alone.<br />Wish me strength!!<br />I am looking for vegetarian cookery books now.<br /><br />Blessings YYgrainehttp://ygrainebarrow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177935673290025151.post-75209122210005258362011-11-26T19:29:46.784+00:002011-11-26T19:29:46.784+00:00Mel,

I do feel for the poor things and have often thought of giving up meat. i know my youngest would do it with me but my oldest is a meat and potatoe gal. I'm afraid she would strave. Grteen beans is about the only veggie I can get her to eat. <br /><br />Do you know of any vegatarian books with great and easy recipes I could read?Vivienne Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521668500782189081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177935673290025151.post-84796427176505269562011-11-26T09:55:37.253+00:002011-11-26T09:55:37.253+00:00Your poem agrees with my entire sentiments; furthe...Your poem agrees with my entire sentiments; further I often think that every meat eater needs to spend time in an abattoir !A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177935673290025151.post-58387686096946976032011-11-26T06:52:38.942+00:002011-11-26T06:52:38.942+00:00I have constantly wondered what they think as they...I have constantly wondered what they think as they watch me pass through the pasture.
