JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Meals in the Mail

Did you know that there’s a company just up the road in Black Mountain, N.C., that offers home-delivered vegan, organic meals? At the Hungry Vegan you can order a week’s or a month’s worth of meals for one or two people, or you can subscribe to the service. The cost starts at $75 for meals for one for a week, plus shipping. And the meals sound fabulous. Next week, for example, the menu will include such dishes as Thai Vegetable Stew; Lemon Risotto with Peas and Scallions; Firecracker Red Beans, and Chocolate Mousse Cake. This could be a lifesaver for vegans who don’t like or have time to cook. I want to try it, next time I have a very busy week coming up. Readers, have any of you tried this service (or any similar services?)
