Gifted Gourmet

Wasn't so very long ago that we had a lively discussion on "flexitarians" right here! not meatatarians nor carnivores ...

Thank goodness for ethnic cuisines! They offer a wide variety of options for those of the vegan persuasion! and I like the idea of a pizza bar immensely! also a pasta bar ...thanks, heidihi!

Thank you for this delicious reminder of the great humor the Pythons brought to us in their heyday! My personal favorite?

What?! No website for wine pairings with the all American taste treat? Have they no conscience? Was Cleese unavailable for a phone Q & A? Did you check with Larry King?? Regis?? I always opt for pairing Spam lunch meat with champagnes ... enough of the bubbly and one forgets that he/she is reduced to having to consume the greasy product ...

I feel your pain and can identify, snowangel ...

A note here: for those of you who appreciated the actual focus and whose posts here have moved that conversation, on Jamie, forward as I had intended, thank you ...
