I like to butterfly it and marinate it in this: small jar of grainy mustard 1 jar full of soy sauce 1 jar full of peanut oil Grill.........not too long ! so incredible, and I dislike mustard.

Tonight we had the cherry vodka I just made on cracked ice with lime and mint..............oh yum ! Talk about going down too easy.................

Or is it a matter of the animal already being dead and not being killed just to eat? ← Yes. She was FIVE................

That's really interesting; peculiar, that... Cannot look like what it is -- "clean." Is that to prevent the eater from realizing what the meat is, or where it came from? ← both, I think. when you realize that her objections were moral, I presume she had little discussions going on in her head about whether it was OK to eat meat. She seems to have gotten over it......

This would really make me sad. I especially like their new chile/lime.............but the original is awesome. Hope you can find it. In CA, we have large bottles in our CostCo. Do you have a CostCo?

This is interesting to me. How does one get started as a vegetarian at such a young age? How do you think this affected her development? How do you feel is has shaped her view of food now? ← Well, we were sitting in a McDonalds eating fish sandwiches and she asked if the fish "were already dead".............no....... The conversation progressed to "What are hamburgers made of? Were they already dead?" It was her first conscious realization of where food comes from. The conversation then ensued about vegetarians and what they ate. To make a long story short, she made a moral decision to be a vegetarian, completely supported by me. Interesting because she LIKED meat. She went off to college and started eating VERY CLEAN chicken (it cannot look like what it is, is the rule. No bones, skin, etc.........NEVER a blood vessel! ) She is 21 and is a serious foodie and eats most everything including lamb, beef and poultry. Not real fond of pork (had to dissect a foetal pig in high school ) LOVES to cook~and is very good at it. One thing I find is that her appreciation of veggies is much greater than I think it would have been. She uses meat more as an accent. Who knows. She is thin and surfs a lot so maybe it is a body thing..? I think she may, in fact, be healthier because of those vegetarian years............

“If we don't watch out, the pleasure to be gained from the discriminating enjoyment of food will be lost. It may not be long before the art of fine cooking is viewed as the invention of a handful of snobs....A whole aspect of living well, of civilization itself, is threatened with extinction.” Benoite Groult, 'La Mer a la Cuisine' in 'Loaves & Wishes'

LOL !

No kidding. My daughter was vegetarian from the time she was five until she was 18, in a very carnivorous family. She ate a lot of peanut butter, cheese and yogurt. It wasn't easy. (On occasion WAS seduced by bacon.but not often !)

Maybe I amconfused on the concept, but don't those kidney beans need to be eaten...raw? I think they sprout them and eat them but aren't kidney beans toxic when raw?

Buchner funnel cakes.................

Yes ! Pickled things.........but I don't like mustard (???) I think it is a texture thing...........textures to me are far worse than flavors. Love sushi but uni..........arggggggggggggh.

YEAH ! What HE said.................. (fruit with meat..ack. sweet tomato sauces, bleh. sweet sushi...............gah. But I LOVE bacon with maple anything..........go figure )

zoe~I'd love the Minimalist ! I'll PM you with details. Kathy

Bryan~ I know I am not alone in being sorry to see your blog come to an end. I am delighted that you are enjoying California for your birthday. Have a safe trip back and know that it is NOT always this hot in CA ! WHEW............. (107' in Paso wine country today.)

LOL AND the blondies ! Is that recipe available?

I missed something.............where are you moving to?

What was it? You aren't saying root beer smells like Germolene, are you? (Minty?? )

I'm thinking green zebras and red currants.........the currants are great in a caprese salad with Trader Joe's (or CostCo's) Perlini (or just eaten like grapes.....)

Cute shoes, phlawless....I loved your blog! Can you put these in recipe gullet? I'm out of town and need to find them when I get back...and I am notoriously bad with the search engine !

I LOVE LOVE LOVE all kinds of sushi AND sashimi. But cannot eat uni. I was just describing it to my FIL the other day as rancid pudding. ← What SHE said !

Can't forget POTATO SHACK in Encinitas for giant pancakes and great spuds for breakfast ! Not a bad burger, either. In the same area as Meritage is another wine bar, Gaffney's.

So? What happened? (Inquiring minds want to know ! )

I know--I've sent numerous emails but have never gotten backa response. Maybe someone else could try? I'd love to get one going if this one is defunct. Maybe we can all pitch in and make it happen!

thank you, Deb. Maybe you can PM me with your info so they'll have some idea who sent me this is such a delightful area, and I am amazed that I haven't been able to connect with more 'food groups'. Must be looking in the wrong places !
