Really enjoyed reading about everyone’s approaches to explaining their food issues. I’m pescetarian I guess, but in practice vegetarian most of the time. Now that I’ve given up gluten though, I feel like I should maybe start eating meat again, as I don’t want to be that person who’s all “Yeah I can’t eat that, or that, or that”. That said, I really don’t mind when people say that to me; it just makes me cook more creatively, which is a good thing. I’m the default cook amongst my friends and I have a number of vegetarians, a lactose-intolerant person, and some just plain picky eaters (vegetarians who don’t eat vegetables, for instance) and I really don’t mind catering to people’s allergies, intolerances or just plain preferences, so I don’t know why I’m so freaked out at asking other people to do that for me.

I'm at work. What the hell?

Skipping sigh-once-more because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Sophia Brooks' birthday.

Happy birthday, Sophia! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Happy birthday, Sophia!

Welcome back to the grind, Tom.

Happy Birthday, Sophia and smonster!!!

I avoid gluten and The Boy is a vegetarian. Cooking for us is annoying. We have a lot of stir-fry veggies w/rice, into which I throw a handful of chicken or shrimp or some other protein.

And Happy Birthday to smonster!

Watched the game with Daisy's other cousin- she set the TV up in the courtyard, and we drank Miller Lite and ate meatballs and played with the dogs and watched the game.

So, were they meat-meatballs or vegan meatballs? I saw she was making some, but was confused.
