More About Me

Reasons why I prefer to eat vegetarian or vegan:

It isn't for health reasons. Factory farms are very cruel places whether the animals are there to give their bodies or merely eggs or milk. I don't want to be complicit in animal torture anymore.

I joined HappyCow Members Community because:

1) To give a review of a local veg-friendly restaurant, 2) to add my name to the growing list of people that restaurants and food stores want to make customers of.

Here are some places I've been that I liked... and places that I would like to visit one day:

Geez, is this a dating site? I loved Thailand. The Netherlands had its charms too. Rome, Pisa, Cologne, San Diego, Yokahama, Baja peninsula of Mexico, eastern France, middle Germany, Madrid, Boston, coastal Maine (the state), northern Michigan, Isle Royale in Lake Superior (!), southeastern Canada, St. Petersburg Alaska, London. Slovenia is gorgeous and charming. Grand Canyon is beautiful--especially from the river. Death Valley is stark but stunning. In space, I'd like to visit anywhere I haven't been. Australia next, maybe. Or Africa, South America....

Some of my favorite veg*n foods include:

I love vegan Thai and Indian food!
