If you know of any books I can get on how to deal with the "phobia" aspect of a vegetarian who will not touch anything that has come in contact with meat. Even though the item has been cleaned, it cannot be clean enough for her to touch it once meat has come in contact with something. I'm ok with cooking vegetarian. It's just that every day there seems to be a new rule about how things are done in the kitchen. The other day I made pepperoni pizza and washed my hands afterwards. Then she had to take a shower because I hugged her and touched her after handling pepperoni. I am just a worried mom who needs to talk with someone in a similar situation. Please email me if you have any encouragement. Be sure to put something in the subject of your email like "vegerarian" because I usually delete unknown emails. Thanks, Linda
