I wonder if my cat likes mint. Lately she's been trying to stick her nose in my mouth when I say goodbye to her and if I haven't just brushed my teeth I'm usually chewing gum when I'm leaving the house.

I also don't like cauliflower, so I often skip the veggie mixture at restaurants--they tend to give you a blend of carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower.
California blend! I actually like all of those things but school lunches ruined the combination for all time.
I love all kinds of mint. And of broccoli. And I'm good with green peppers, but roasted red peppers are becoming the mango coulis of this decade. Seriously, enough already.
No to cilantro and all but minimal lemongrass.
When I was growing up I would only eat raw veggies, and even then it was mostly peas straight out of the freezer.

Someone here told me that the reason my cat freaks out over mint is that it and catnip are both in the same family.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm a little skeptical about that, just because the mint family incudes thousands of species, including most of the common herbs (mint, basil, oregano, marjoram, thyme, lavender, savory, rosemary, sage... all mints). So, if that were the reason, why just those two?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I feel like baking. What should I bake, bread or cupcakes? The cupcakes are easier and faster and yum, but I'm trying to be healthy. The bread is actually also pretty good -- the recipe calls for some leftover cooked grains, and I usually use rice, since that's what I have around, and the rice I have now is rice I cooked with saffron, and that makes really good bread. But if I make cupcakes, then I can bring them into the office and be Vegan Propaganda Girl tomorrow.

It's too hard to decide. Make both.

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

It seems like the most logical explanation for why my cat tries to cram her head in my mouth after I brush my teeth.

Nah, the reason she stuffs her head in your mouth is that she wants to eat your nummy tonsils. She just waits until you have good breath to do it, because ewww.

I should tell her that I had my tonsils removed when I was four....
