I need to try those.

I got the veggie dog habit from an ex who picked up the habit back when she'd been veggie. Generally the ones that taste nothing like actual hot dogs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The way I generally explain it when people ask is that I don't think it's right to kill animals for food when I can easily survive without it. I've been vegetarian since I was 13.

Interesting. Thanks.

I'm the world's worst at dietary modification, no matter the issue--my health or anything else. So when people say "I'm a ..." that sets out rules for their eating it makes me pause and think.

Well, no--I do have limits. Whales, dolphins, and anything in the ape/monkey family. Those are the only non-visceral restrictions I've placed on myself. Or, perhaps, discovered I had. It's not something I've much questioned or thought through. I just wouldn't feel comfortable.

On purpose? Or accidentally?

I think it was on purpose, but that's just beastly. I'll have to ask her.

Whole wheat spaghetti is NOT delicious. Man, I thought that would be tasty and I feel like I just tried licking sawdust instead. I had such hopes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What brand? That sounds like my reaction to the Hodgson Mills kind. My reccomendation for the best is Bionaturae, but the Trader Joe's and Safeway house brands are also good.

Hmm - I like whole wheat pasta. But I tend to smother pasta with lots of sauce.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's a shame, Cass. I'm sure I've had WW spaghetti that was delicious, but it might just be that my tastebuds are different from yours.

IME, the whole wheat spaghetti works best with things like a stir fry, where they make a passable substitute for soba noodles or that sort of thing. The whole wheat noodles are good too for savory things like stroganoff where the nuttiness is a plus. As straight spaghetti I can't stand them.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Mmmm...noodles. We at at Noodle & Co tonight and it was very, very tasty.

I've avoided whole wheat pasta because of the above reasons, even though it's supposed to be good for you.

Trust my rage

A friend made whoe-wheat spaghetti noodles with chicken recently and it was very good. I noticed that the pastas was very much al dente and have been wondering if that helped with the texture, which I usually dislike.

Back to bed for me. I got up and had two baked potatoes and hopefully I can now sleep again.
