Oh well, I guess I just know about it because we were lunch buddies before. And if we ever went to McDo, he would only order french fries and some drink.<BR/><BR/>So how are your meatless Fridays?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1142177417545240662006-03-12T23:30:00.000+08:002006-03-12T23:30:00.000+08:00Shannelle: Henrik's Buddhist?

Good thing that there are a lot of places serving vegan cuisine nowadays...<BR/><BR/>I think that that's a good way of putting it: "The wider the range, the strange the coverage is." It's as though we're all outsourced freelancers with no supervisory control, if you'll excuse the business terminology.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1141998104449173222006-03-10T21:41:00.000+08:002006-03-10T21:41:00.000+08:00Hi Sean,Catholicism is indeed strange and maybe be...Hi Sean,<BR/><BR/>Catholicism is indeed strange and maybe because it attempts or tries to define itself to be "universal". I guess the wider the range, the stranger the coverage is. If you recall our theology (can't recall which subject though), entities such as saints are not worshipped by the Catholics. Well, afaik, we don't worship Mary nor the saints because we only believe in one God. We just have this so called devotions like with the novena and stuffs but then because of the fervor by some -- ok fine, many -- Catholics, it seems to people that we worship other entities aside from God.<BR/><BR/>Btw, good luck on your "diet" :p I'm skipping the abstinence for this year's Lenten Season. I get too much headache these days that I don't need to add a worry like what I should not be eating for the next few weeks @_@ <BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, I suggest you try to contact Henrik. :) Since our college days, he's been practicing the veganism because of his religion (Buddhism) and he really amazed me with his strict diet. Maybe he can help you out if you run out of ideas of what food to eat.<BR/><BR/>Have a good weekend! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1141895407558567422006-03-09T17:10:00.000+08:002006-03-09T17:10:00.000+08:00Zam: Same here, only it's my grandmother who bring...Zam: Same here, only it's my grandmother who brings us along. It's weird, really. With the emergence of places that sell vegetable-paste-based cuisine, I'm not sure if we should continue referring to it as "buddhist". :)<BR/><BR/>I'll throw you a line via Yahoo Messenger, Zam. I'm not sure why your project would revolve around this kind of topic, though...Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1141894739237414062006-03-09T16:58:00.000+08:002006-03-09T16:58:00.000+08:00Hi!

A friend told me you were, but I'm not sure if you are. You see I have to write a feature article on the blog of the year for our magazine in Filipino class. Due date is rapidly catching up on me. So, assuming that the answer to my question is yes, would you mind if I ask you a few more questions? And would it be all right to correspond with you through e-mail? Just drop me an e-mail at zam3p@yahoo.com and if you could, please, asap! :( I'm so sorry for imposing schedules on you, but due date is monday!

I'm told, however, that true vegans refrain from consuming such things as egg and dairy products. A more extreme practice would involve consuming only seeds and grains.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, though, I'm glad that this comes around for only six weeks a year. And only on Fridays, for that matter. I have enough trouble balancing my diet without religion coming into the picture. :(Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1141632931798224102006-03-06T16:15:00.000+08:002006-03-06T16:15:00.000+08:00I like your post, but I like your reference to TOS...I like your post, but I like your reference to TOS Trekkies out there better. :) Plus the fact that I'd also like to say you can always opt for those standard fukienese lumpias. They're pretty good. Soybean drink is pretty nice too. So are bean sprouts, mongo beans, chickpeas, kidney beans and taho. Mediterranean would also be a good option for vegetarian food - there's samosas, hummus, tabbouleh, babaganough, falafels, tsadziki and kosharies. Italian has bruschettas, standard red-green-white(tomato, basil, mozarella) pizzas (is cheese allowed?), pestos and gelatos. Don't have to stick to buddhist dishes - there's a lot of choices out there.<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>Man, I'm getting hungry.cstiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090083899249455393noreply@blogger.com
