Superstar VegWebber of the Week: mirrya1!
This week's Superstar VegWebber is mirrya1! A fabulous person (with the cutest fur babies around...have you SEEN her profile: http://vegweb.com/index.php?action=profile;u=53776) who makes the VegWeb forums a great place to spend a (more than) little time. Her fur babies posts keep me entertained (and often enlightened!) and are some of my favorite to read, especially when I'm feeling sad. I know I'm not the only one so thank you very much for that, mirrya1! Oh, the one thing I do need to address is that she's never tried seitan! Mirrya1, you've got to get on that, we have tons of recipes on VegWeb: http://vegweb.com/index.php?board=329.0

What’s the best thing about being vegan? (if you are!) The food!!
Favorite romantic recipe on VegWeb? Happy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies..you can't go wrong with chocolate chip cookies.
Favorite recipe on VegWeb to make for non-vegans to show them how amazing vegan food can be? It's a tie between Lucid Anne's Lentil Rice salad or the Cheesy Bean and Cheese Enchiladas.
Any New Years' Resolutions? A few. To meditate daily, stop procrastinating on my homework and to keep in better touch with my friends and family.
One thing you wish you could make vegan but haven’t succeeded at yet? Cheddar cheese jalapeno poppers. I'll succeed one day.

Three people you'd most like to have dinner with? This is hard...but I'll stick with family. My mother, my twin and my father (he passed away 23 years ago.)

yay, mirrya! Have you tried the jalapeno poppers from this blog: http://myveggiekitchen.blogspot.com/2009/10/garlic-stuffed-jalapeno-poppers.html ? I've been wanting to try them.
Yayyyy! I <3 mirrya. I have my artichoke magnet on my fridge that she mailed me. Which is awesome and definitely superstar worthy.
woooohooo congrats Mirrya! I've never tried tempeh either, but Laura's right, you've got to give seitan a whirl!
