That's a great way to explain it!  A woman in the building where

I have a number of vegetarian recipes in my repertoire. We were
eating them as part of the heart healthy thing which we sort of
slipped away from. I had been thinking about getting back to them.
Last night I did the vegetarian pizza. Maybe this week I will do

the >>> chick pea curry.

I get the same giggle you do at the faux meat.  Anyways, I kinda

   More fool you.

 

   Two of the best cooks I know, are a vegan and a
vegetarian.

 
i know one vegan. a friend of a neice. on a camping trip she
introduced me to mushroom burgers by having me grill giant
portobello mushrooms for her. she was in her late teens at the
time.
 
since then i've enjoyed them myself from time to time. couple
years ago i spotted a beef patty and mushroom burger called a
portobomb at a food truck and got one. now i enjoy those
instead.
 
last time i saw the vegan was at a Japanese hibachi restaurant.
she was having a spicy beef dish. she decided being at the top
of the food chain eating animals is a tasty thing. :)

Sorry, missing . above makes the message wierd.  I know vegans and
vegetarians who have no 'attitude' and have posted many times on our
random (roughly quarterly) dinner get togethers.  1 is vegan and one is
vegetarian.  They work in just fine.  We have 2 that don't do pork.
It's a non-issue and no one pulls any 'superiority' crap over it. Janet
UK I assume is the one calling me a fool.  Typical of her.

Dave, yes on the trip and the troubles some vegetarians caused (wanting
the who trip to only be vegetarian for the duration).
