Vegan Family Recipes – check out this Recipe Service

 

I am delighted that my friend LaTara of Vegan Family Living is providing Vegan Family Recipes.

I was vegan for about 6 months.  That was a few years ago, and I found it so difficult because there were no resources available to be able to easily provide myself, my 2 sons and my Mom (who lived with me) with easy vegan recipes

Diana Walker – 8 things you may want to know about me!

Well, since Carrie has “tagged” me, I’ve been thinking about what I’ll put here.

1.  Our family lived on 70 acres when I was between the ages of 5 and 11– we had no running water (well, as my Mom always said —- “I did the running”) – because we had a well, an outhouse, no electricity, etc. etc. We did have a wonderful organic garden.  No pesticides then.

2.  I did grades 2 and 3 in one year.  Then I did grades 6 and 7 in one year, so I was 16 when I graduated from grade 12 (well, almost 17).

3.  I took Computer Programming in 1969 at McKay Technical Institute in Vancouver.  I was near the top of the class. There were only 3 girls in the class, the rest were guys.  (the girls took keypunching…)  Can you believe it, the computers took up rooms and whole floors of the office towers…?!  I did not make it my career – I became an Executive Assistant instead.

4.  I probably spent about $20,000 on “Self Development”, “Self Help”, “Personal Development”, courses, seminars and retreats, in the 1970s and 1980s.  I was always way ahead of my time – learning about health, nutrition, inner growth, yoga, long, long before it was popular!

5.  Having my 2 sons was the biggest “personal growth” course in the world!!!  They have given me so much joy, and I love them to pieces – they know that too!  They are 19 and 29.

6.  I’ve been a single parent for the most part.  I met my ex-husband (the father of both my sons) — on the beach in Hawaii.  It was very romantic…. We were together, and then split up after my first son was born, then got back together several years later, and I had my second son, and then we split up again. I completely have supported myself and my 2 boys during all the years.

7.  During the 1970s I lived for several months or years in the following places: San Francisco, California; London, England; Honolulu, Hawaii; Lucerne, Switzerland; Vancouver, Canada

8.  My mother’s Mom worked for Mr. Rolls and Mr. Royce – yes, of “Rolls Royce”. We still have family in London, England. My mother’s grandma used to have “high tea” with the Queen Mother.

Well, there you have little snippets of me!
