We

were at the store earlier and Jeff asked me in all seriousness, " You want

feak or ficken? " I said I wanted the ficken, and also some fausage fatties.

Strange folks, aren't we?

Not too strange---I also used to call it " facon " (or fakin')! And here I

thought I was so original! =o)

Now I'll have to add feak, ficken, and fausage to my vocabulary.

Thanx Kadee!

I am originally from Oklahoma, but now an adopted Texan! We moved

out here to be close to my parents (what the **** were we thinking??)

But now they are packin' up and heading back to Oklahoma---Yay!

I think we'll stay. I kinda like it here.

I am SO grateful for all the veggie choices in the stores now! I

LOVE the " burgers " and " corn dogs " (my family does too!). I have to

say that I was worried that I would really miss eating meat since I

was a HUGE fan of chicken, but it's really amazing to me that I do

not miss it at all! I have no cravings, no desire. It feels

perfectly natural, and I feel great physically! Now if my son and

husband would just join me... lol

I'm not nagging them, just being an example for them to eventually

follow! =o)

Guess I'm feeling typy, too!

G'nite!

to live in Houston. Cool town, despite the fact that my in-laws live

nearby. Good luck continuing in your new eating choices... it's

great, you will soon be an " old pro! " I am amazed lately by all the

vegetarian things at the store. I just found some Campbells mushroom

gravy in a can, no suspicious titles like " natural flavors " or

anything, and boy does it beat the heck out of stirring constantly

till thickened! Just put it in the pan and heat it. Pour it on some

Potato Buds and eat up. Good food. Fresh Gourmet brand cheese and

garlic croutons are wonderful as well, dipped in Italian salad

dressing. I've eaten two bags of those things since yesterday.

typed half a novel for a 360 blog entry for no reason at all.

Hmm.

Like a bumper sticker I saw once- " I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as

fast as I could. " I think those meat alternatives are the only reason I

didn't have to drag my husband in kicking and screaming. We kind of started

jokingly referring to the Morningstar Farms bacon as " facon " , the MSF steak

strips as " feak " , and it has really gotten out of hand. We were at the store

earlier and Jeff asked me in all seriousness, " You want feak or ficken? " I said

I wanted the ficken, and also some fausage fatties. Strange folks, aren't we?
