I hope that I didn't use the expression "real food"! My sister is vegetarian as are a number of my friends. I've never seen much sense in running around trying to serve ersatz versions of foods, whether I am entertaining vegetarians, people with food allergies, or people on restricted diets. It's on a par with serving cheap cuts of meats when using the best is necessary: Rather than ruin a dish or reach for a result that is really not attainable, I have always believed in using one's ingenuity to meet the requirements of guests while serving them food that is really delicious and healthful. It can be a bit of a challenge when the guests have multiple restrictions, but, as you know all too well, life itself is a challenge. Anything or anyone that is precious is well worth the challenges. Which brings us to gaugie's first rule of vegetar: "Don't worry about offending vegetarians; worry about them offending you." Hmmm. I never even thought of being offended by a vegetarian! Of course, I've not had much contact with the "holier-than-thou" types, if they are whom you mean.

<<Matter of fact, imitate real food too much, and you'll gross some of us right out>> Ooooh, and don't I know it... Go to a barbecue with your salad and be met by a well-meaning host/hostess... "Oh, we were thinking of you and we've bought this package of tofu hotdogs... and they taste JUST LIKE THE REAL THING!!" "Oh, reeeeeeeeaally... Gee, how thoughtful of you"....... :-[

<<Which brings us to gaugie's first rule of vegetar: "Don't worry about offending vegetarians; worry about them offending you.">> I have an extra 16 bales of hay and a 50 pound sack of grain. Tell me where you want them delivered. Wife said all the horses will be gone and they will be tomorrow. I hate the fuckers but damn I'll miss them. I had a routine worked out. The mare is sold and she was a messy poo pooer. Cody is on loan as a learner horse. Jenghis is in training. Now I can get the ditch and barn really stract. I'm thinking about buying a jackass later after I get get everything right. Bill
