Hey Carlo, got any good vegetarian recipes for over the holidays. My poor mother is tearing her hair out about what to cook for me while everyone else is eating Christmas goose. :) Stick to the veggie platter (remember, the dip contains ceam cheese, an animal (dairy) product), and try not to act too superior to the omnivores around you.
Oh yeah, and go find a mirror, smile real big, and try to rationalize why your teeth are designed by nature (or evolution, if you prefer) for chewing flesh from bone.
Thanksgiving day, after all, should give one pause for introspection, shouldn't it?
Before you go off on a pompous tangent you might want to realise that I'm a vegetarian for health reasons - my family has all sorts of genetic timebombs from diabetes to heart disease. The vegetarian diet, as such, helps me and suits me. It's not for everyone, nor am I saying it's for everyone. This is a less arrogant position than you telling me that I have to eat meat.
Happy Holidays.
Ivan
