I've recently gone on a health kick... more a 'lifestyle change' kick.
Cleaning out my apartment and revamping right down to the bedsheets
(yay for high-count sheets that don't sand my ass when I slide into
bed!). This included a revamp of my fridge. I've decided to become
vegetarian for a couple reasons... first, it seems really healthy and
quite possibly the best way to insure I finally incorporate a large
amount of produce into my diet (no more giving myself double veggie
credit when consuming 'sour cream and chives pototo chips' ya know, for
the potatos and chives of course).
Secondly, I've long been an animal lover but more recently have been
feeling the pull towards an occupation in animal health, such as Veterinarian work. Because of this I've felt a strange internal conflict with the fact that I'd be eating, well, potential patients.
Thirdly, when people go on about the fact that they eat only high
priced organic I have an automatic one-up on them... "oh really, but
you do still eat poor, innocent animals, right?" :) kidding kidding
(ok, not really.. i do look forward to that.)
Point is, I'm
eating vegetarian and, so far, loving it. I've already tried a couple
fabulous recipes and will share these here on my blog occasionally but
I also look forward to any input on other great recipes or tips. I've
found cooking veggies & tofu & fish (yes, i still eat fish and
dairy such as cheese) so much more simpler then cooking poultry or red
meat. Plus, I'm very excited that even if i don't fully cook my veggies
or tofu I won't get food poisoning (like I've done to myself SO MANY
times with chicken! Evil bird.)
So there it is. I'm a food snob.
And while I fully plan on showing off to all of you my new fabulously
healthy snob diet, past history has taught me that I'm really much too
lazy when it comes to bragging (or most things really) so you don't
have to worry :) Bon Appetite!

Ummmmm...Excuse me Ms. Amanda. When will your debut book be coming out? I am faithful follower of your column (blog). I simply can't get enough. You are so funny and write with such ease. I laughed so hard when I read your last posting. In fact when I went to bed that night and woke up the next morning I was still chuckling. Looking forward to your up coming book and next posting.

ok food snobbie ;) this food snobbie will commit on this quote. First i will say that we eat very vegetarian, although we are not vegetarian. we eat a lot of different ways, vegan, pescitarian, ect. when it comes to eating red meat and chicken, we only eat meat that comes from happy, grass fed animals, that have let a cruelty free life. it's very important to us!!!! this also why we eat vegetarian, happy meat can cost a heaping amount of money.
oh i have some recipes to share, i don't know how to cook eggplant though. sorry, you will have to teach me.
i am so loving your veg choice....it has made us just feel so much better. i can't wait to see you.
