Of all the vegetarians I have none, very few of them have stuck it out more
than a few years. I have to admit that some of them seem to benefit from it. A
few of the female vegetarians I know have wonderful complexions. Others have
just looked sickly.

I posted previously about being expected to cater to a vegan niece at our house
a few years ago. The next time I saw her was at a buffet brunch where she
gorged on bacon, ham, chicken, roast beef.

I am sorry, but I am not a vegetarian. I cook lots of vegetables, but not
"vegetarian dishes". I just prefer to stick to what I know and what I would
like to learn, not what to do to indulge people who adopt diets that are devoid
of what I consider to be the feature dish of a meal, the cooked flesh, and in
some cases the uncooked flesh.
