Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum, so I'll just start with some basic info about myself!
My name is Jill and I am 22 (23 on Thursday! woohoo!)
I live in a city of 140,000 called Dundee in Scotland!
I live with my fiance Graham & we have been together for just over 2 years and have been engaged since Christmas 2005!
I have recently become a veggie (have been veggie for about 2 months now), and feel so much better for it. I decided to do so because for one I have never really liked meat much in the first place, I only ate chicken on occasion, and also for reasons such as my love for all animals, seeing how they are treated and stuff, and many other reasons!!!!
I am probably the only veggie in my entire family (I have a very large family!) which isn't the best thing ever... my fiance is also a meat-eater, which is even worse as we live together!!! I won't even cook meat for him, I can't stand touching the stuff! Have tried to convince him to go veggie, but he likes his meat too much sadly... I have tried offering him Quorn/Tofu and other veggie options but he had none of it

I love most fruit and veg... with the exception of apples... I never have liked apples!!! And I'm not 100% sure why I don't like them!! lol.
I need to experiment more with cooking, and getting more imaginative food on my plate, as at the moment I am just eating veggie options from the supermarket, soups and such like...
Hence the reason for coming accross this site, I was searching online for veggie recepies, and thought this would be a good place to start..... although I have to say my cooking skills are extremely basic at best!!!! I really want to learn how to cook stuff from scratch, I'm sure I would enjoy it!!!!
I'm also finding the lack of veggie options when eating out in Dundee (fair enough it isn't a very large place but still annoying!!!) very irritating!!! I always end up having to eat a veggie chilli, or veggie burger... and aren't I sick of those lately!! lol
Other than the veggie/food stuff I enjoy most kinds of music, especially Indie bands such as, Keane, Snow Patrol, Razorlight, Coldplay, The Feeling, The Zutons, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian etc.
I enjoy alot of Rock & Classic Rock as well!
I do like a bit of general pop stuff sometimes!!
I love comedy movies, esp things with Adam Sandler!
Some of my faves from recent times and older films: Anger Management, Happy Gilmore, Click, Dirty Dancing *yes.. I am a girl lol*, The Departed, The Godfather, Goodfellas, Homeward Bound, The Incredible Journey, Shrek, Saw, Mean Girls etc.
Pretty much anything really!!!!
I love spending time with my friends, going out for coffee/lunch etc.
Well hope that's enough!!!! I like to start with the basics!!! Hope to have some good tips from here.. esp on the recepie thing!!!
