Silence means security silence means approval

My stance that meat should not be identifiable as having come from something living is once again validated. I do not practice vegetarianism so much as plausible deniability.

I know it sounds crazy, but I'd RATHER have meat from an identifiable part, because then I know one animal died for my dinner and gave part of its muscle for the pot roast sitting in the crock pot, rather than 1000 animals having various bits processed into solid protein "nuggets" or "patties."

I have no problems with vegetarianism, and I will happily acommodate vegetarians at all meals. Vegans, though, I have no idea what to cook them. I'd probably just hand them some lentils and the spice rack.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Pasta. Stir-fry w/o any meat. Pad thai w/o any meat. PB&J sandwich.

PB&J sandwich, cut up into cubes and deap-fried in vegetable oil.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You might as well tie booties on it and give it a hat. It practically has a personality now! How can you eat it?

So, you're not from a family that makes Mr. Turkey dance Thanksgiving morning, then.

Is is Poke Salad or Polk Salad? I think I've seen both. (I know that Annie gets it out of your truck patch.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Lentil soup made with mushroom stock! Spice rack optional.

I did eat at a Vegan Vietnamese restaurant once, where various beefy staples were made as beef-flabored tofu staples. (Tripe pho, in particular.) Now, tofu does not have a stomach, so it has no stomach lining. If you had to choose, would you want tofu that pretended it was the most delicate waftings of a steer's nostrils, or the grimy guts of same?

And yet, tofu "tripe" pho.
