Hi everyone.
I'm Lisa, though usually Tick or Rose; rarely use my real name, even irl.
I'm gradually moving back to a vegan diet after a few years of omnivorousness; got into a bad space mentally/emotionally/etc last time (about 12 years ago), and slid into convenience.
So I'm slowly getting back to veganism, but still eating out other stuff in my cupboard; I can't afford to waste food, no matter what it is. Plus I think wasting something that's come from an animal is worse than consuming it in the first place. Not that there's much, I never was a huge meat eater (but cheese!).
Anyway, I'm a full-time carer, I look after my dad, who has alzheimer's/dementia; a bit of a homebody; and live in the suburbs where my yard is swarming with nature; lots of birds, possums, lizards, the ocassional snake, it's quite nice here. I also have fresh mulberries and mangoes in my yard when they're in season.
I didn't have the 'net last time I was vegan, so went looking for a forum this time around, and found this place. Yey!
