Temptations / was OT: Not getting all your mail???????????

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the update - another person with a busy summer! You say:

 

>I've been a bad veggie girl lately, but you know, when you go for tapas and

see grilled calamari, well....calamari is a weakness, you know...

 

Truly baaaaad veggie girl! Living creatures are not appropriate foods for

vegetarians (or anyone else for that matter).

Personally, since you bring it up, I think you should think of two things when

you are tempted to eat your fellow creatures: one is your health. Waterlife is

bad for you because of the pollution. The second thing is much more

important to me - the concern for the creatures themselves. it is most

inappropriate that these animals should be consumed by fellow beings who

know full well how to feed themselves without turning to near-canibalism.

 

LOL Okay, did that do the trick? Did that swat you over the back with limp

bokchoy or soggy noodles? Baaaad veggie girl, I say- don't do it again!

 

About the organic foods - wonderful when you can get them easily - and of

course we are talking vegetarian foods now, right? Even our local

supermarket sells them now, as well as a couple of places at the (covered)

market and several stalls on the twice-weekly farmers' market. I got some

lovely fresh organic edamame on Saturday! Whoooooooooiiiiiieeee!

Have a lovely trip, happy birthday to your dad, and *be strong* at that bbq.

 

Best, Pat

Well...the second argument not so much as the first (my health)...I

know I feel loads better when I'm going full veggie than when I'm not.

More energy, less gastro-intestinal issues (like acid reflux),

etc...and we all know how I feel about the second argument, so I'll

leave it at that...*grin*

 

although, I would *never* have soggy noodles...I'm genetically

italian, and soggy noodles would be an insult to my hertitage!

yup...I've been trying to get to the local market on Saturdays, but,

well...like I said, I've been lazy...so this would be a really cool

service for me because I'm busy...although, I think when I move, it'll

be easier for me to cook and keep track of what I'm eating...my

roommates are nice and all, but they tend to either eat my food or my

food gets pushed to the back of the fridge (they buy a lot more than I

do)...there are reasons why I stopped living with other people...

Oh, I will...I'm looking forward to New England corn anyway, and no

one will blink twice if I fill myself up on it... Besides, my mom

makes a killer potato salad! It's going to be wierd going back there

though....here and there are just really different places, you know?
