Vege update:
Social scientists and law enforcement officials
have identified animal abuse as a symptom of emotional illness and a precursor
to violent crimes against human beings. To allow individuals guilty of
perpetrating such cruel acts to go unpunished or not sufficiently punished
would be to sanction these horrific crimes and would permit them to go
on to possibly commit violent crimes against humans.

Green Rice (Arroz Verde)
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 cups firmly packed fresh cilantro (coriander)
leaves
1/2 teaspoon hing
1 1/2 cups diced chopped white cabbage
2 cups firmly packed spinach leaves
3 poblano chiles
4 cups warm water
2 cups long-gran white rice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Pureed spinach and cilantro add a beautiful green hue and zesty taste to boiled rice, taking it far beyond a mundane side dish.
1. Roast and peel the poblano chiles.
2. Heat a medium-size pot over medium-high heat, add the oil, dicedchopped white cabbage, and hing powder and saute until the cabbage is translucent. Add the rice and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the water and bring to a rapid boil over high heat. Lower the heat, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice cool.
3. Meanwhile, in a large pot, cover the spinach and cilantro (coriander) with water. Bring just to a boil and then drain and shock the spinach and cilantro under cold water. Working with a handful at a time, squeeze out the excess water.
4. In the jar of an electric blender, combine the spinach, cilantro, and poblanos and puree until smooth. In a bowl, blend the rice with the spinach puree and season to taste with salt and pepper. In a saucepan, heat the rice over medium heat, stirring frequently, and serve.

Eggless Mayonnaise
http://news.iskcon.com/node/839/eggless_mayonnaise
By Kurma Dasa on 23 Mar 2008
Here are three different recipes for eggless mayonnaise, lifted from my first cookbook 'Great Vegetarian Dishes'.
The first recipe uses condensed milk as the base and is a sweet mayonnaise. The second recipe calls for evaporated milk, and the third is a dairy-free variety featuring pureed tofu.
Mayonnaise I
PREPARATION TIME: a few minutes
SETTING TIME: 10 minutes
YIELD: about 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients:
1 cup (250 ml) sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon mustard powder
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Combine all the ingredients except the lemon juice in a bowl. Gradually add the lemon juice whilst stirring with a whisk until the dressing thickens. Allow the mayonnaise to set for a further 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Mayonnaise II
PREPARATION TIME: a few minutes
SETTING TIME: 10 minutes
YIELD: about 2 1/4 cups
Ingredients:
1 cup (250 ml) evaporated milk (unsweetened)
1 cup (250 ml) safflower oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon mustard powder
Place the evaporated milk in a blender. While the blender is on, gradually add the oil until the mixture slightly thickens. Add the salt, optional honey, lemon juice, and mustard powder. Continue blending until the mixture thickens further. Allow the mayonnaise to set for a further 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Mayonnaise III
PREPARATION TIME: a few minutes
SETTING TIME: 10 minutes
YIELD: almost 2 1/2 cups
Ingredients:
2 cups mashed firm tofu
1/2 cup (125 ml) olive oil
4 tablespoons (80 ml) fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon mustard powder
2 teaspoons honey (optional)
1 teaspoon salt water (if required)
Combine all ingredients (except the lemon juice and water) in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the lemon juice. If the mayonnaise is too thick, add a little water. Refrigerate.

Spinach, Pear, and Fennel Salad
The flavors in this salad are very different, but go together wonderfully.
Serving: 6
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 70 minutes
Ingredients:
3 cups washed, stemmed, and torn spinach
2 cups sliced fennel stalks
3 ripe bosc pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
olive oil
pear or raspberry vinegar
freshly ground pepper
1. Lightly dip the pear slices in the lemon juice to prevent browning.
2. Toss the spinach, fennel, and pears. Place in a large dish or in separate bowls. Sprinkle the salads with the cheese.
3. Dress the salads with the oil, vinegar, and pepper to taste, or serve alongside.
Cook's Note: The recipe the author uses says they prefer to coarsely grate the cheese rather than the really small pieces that you typically grate parmesan into. If you do not like parmesan cheese, you can substitute a sharp cheddar.
Churma Ladoo
http://www.harekrsna.com/practice/prasadam/recipes/sweets1a.htm
Ingredients:
Wheat flour (coarse if possible) 2 cups
Ghee 3/4 cup
Ghee for frying
Jaggery - 1-1/4 cups
Dry grated coconut 1/2 cup
Khus khus (poppy seeds) 2 tbsps
Put the flour in a thali. Add ghee and mix well. Make stiff dough with water or milk. Roll into balls. Heat the ghee and deep fry on low heat till they are golden brown. Remove and cool. Break and crush them. Sieve the crumbled mixture through a coarse sieve. Melt jaggery till it starts bubbling. Add the coconut. Mix well and pour it over the wheat mixture. Mix well and make the ladoos while still warm. Roll each one in poppy seeds and then arrange on an offering plate.
Apple Ice Cream
Something a little different for dessert. I don't think I have ever
seen this particular ice cream in any of the specialist outlets that I
have been to. For this recipe, you need to use a crisp, juicy fleshed apple
variety. In the UK the best one is called 'Fuji' but other varieties should
be just as suitable. In NZ try Pacific Rose or Braeburn.

Each serving contains: 281 calories, 27g sugar,
7g fat, 12g saturates, 0g salt.

or until completely frozen.
6. Decorate with fresh mint and sliced apple before serving.
Mango & Cranberry Smoothie

Making Food Sacred - Offering
our food to Krishna:
....excerpt from lecture by HDG Srila A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada - Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.3.1-3 -- San Francisco,
March 28, 1968
The Vedic literature says like this, that God has no leg, no hand. Therefore the impersonalists take advantage of it. "Oh, here it is stated God has no legs, no hands." But the next line is, javana grhita: "He can accept everything which you offer Him in devotion."
Now how He can accept? If He has no hand, how He can accept things from us? That means He hasn't got a hand like us. His hand is different. Therefore even though He is situated in the spiritual world, which is far, far away from us, still, He says in the Bhagavad-gita, it is said,
patram puspam phalam toyam
yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam
asnami prayatatmanah
Krsna says that "A little flower or little water or a little leaf, whatever My devotee offers Me in love and devotion, I accept it." And tad aham bhakty-upahrtam. "And because he has brought it with great devotion, therefore I eat." Tad aham bhakty-upahrtam asnami. Asnami means "I eat." Now you can say, "All right, I'll offer these fruits and flower to God, but it is the same. It is remaining. How He is eating?" But His eating is not like my eating, because He hasn't got a body like this. This body is material. If you bring me a plate of fruits, this body immediately swallows it. But He has got spiritual body. He eats... Simply as soon as He knows that you have offered it in devotion, He eats immediately.
Go here to follow the simple system for offering
foodstuffs to the Lord
... and always
with the Magic ingredient - Offer it to Krishna.....
... with L'n D (love and devotion)

Points of View
I don't know if Shel was actually a vegetarian or not, but he did do
some pro-veg works like the following:
Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless,
Christmas dinner's dark and blue,
When you stop and try to see it
From the turkey's point of view.
Sunday dinner isn't funny
Easter feasts are just bad luck,
When you see it from the viewpoint
Of the chicken or the duck.
Oh, how I once loved tuna salad,
Pork and lobsters, lamb chops,
too,
Till I stopped and looked at dinner
From the dinner's point of view.

lyrics)
Pictures of Animals in the womb
showing their maturation and development much the same as humans
http://prisonplanet.com/articles/november2006/231106animals.htm
They are alive in the womb, they grow in the womb, they take birth,
they mature, they have their own families, and reproduce.
"They" are spiritual beings who simply took their birth in the animal

Cruelty to Animals: Mechanized Madness
Watch the Video
Animals on today's factory farms have no legal protection from cruelty that would be illegal if it were inflicted on dogs or cats: neglect, mutilation, genetic manipulation, and drug regimens that cause chronic pain and crippling, transport through all weather extremes, and gruesome and violent slaughter. Yet farmed animals are no less intelligent or capable of feeling pain than are the dogs and cats we cherish as companions.

Pepsi and Coca Cola Contains PORK (PIG) extracts - PROVEN!!
Shocking / Bad News :
Pepsi and Coca Cola contains extract
from Pork (Pig)
Most of the people avoid Pepsi
and Coca-Cola for various reasons:-
because of harmful chemical contents
such as excessive carbonates, etc.
Now there is yet another reason which is more dangerous. The scientific and medical research says that drinking Pepsi & Cola leads to cancer because the key element is taken from Pigs sausage.
The pig is the only animal that eats dirt, dung and urine, which makes lethal and deadly fabric polluted germs and microbes.
According to a report published in Jordanian magazine, the Head of Delhi University Science and Technology , Dr. Mangoshada scientifically proved that the key element in Pepsi and Cola contains extract from the intestines of Pig which causes cancer and other deadly diseases.
The Indian university conducted tests on the impact of drinking Pepsi and Coca Cola which proved that drinking them lead to more rapid heart rate and low pressure.
Also drinking 6 bottles of Pepsi
or Cola at a time causes instant death. It also contains chemicals such
as carbonic and phosphoric acids, citric acid which harms teeth and causes
bone fragility. Bones kept in the Cup of Pepsi melts during the week knowing
that the bones of the dead remain in the grave for thirty years.
Research itself confirmed that
the calcium dissolved in Pepsi and it weakens the bladder, kidneys, kills
the pancreatic, leads to diabetes and infectious diseases.
Pepsi or Coca-Cola lovers nothing to worry as it is not the only drinks available on this earth, as we have other healthy alternatives such as natural fruit juices, canned coconut water, flavoured milks, buttermilk etc.., all of them are conveniently available even in the small stores.

“If anyone wants to save the
planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat.
That’s the single most important
thing you could do. It’s staggering when you think about it.
Vegetarianism takes care of
so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty.”
--Sir Paul McCartney
