Ok now I am playing with the font and size. This is definitely not that interesting for a blog. Let's talk about Vegetarian Times, the oh so tasty magazine I subscribe to. Am I a vegetarian? Only when I eat vegetables and vegetarian meals, however that doesn't stop me from experiencing the "other side." When I first subscribed, I was skeptical, especially since I also subscribed to Food and Wine magazine. I decided, as one who delights in experimental cooking and baking, I would give it a shot. Now I am hooked to Veg, Times and I will continue to subscribe. Don't be down on vegetarians! In A Cook's Tour, Anthony Bourdain wrote that one of his worst culinary experiences during his travels involved an all vegetarian dinner. He felt the food was not cooked properly, the vegetables were abused, etc. Whenever I read that part, I wonder who the heck these vegetarians were! The meals I have prepared and tasted are interesting and delightful. Although, I will admit, there have been some real duds (i.e.the tofu pudding I made was terrible). I think there is a particular stigma attached to people who enjoy a good vegetarian meal or choose to be vegetarian for whatever reason. I say celebrate being a vegetarian or enjoying the variety of a vegetarian cuisine.
