My sweetie makes excellent vegetarian and occasionally vegan meals and I am fortunate to be an opportunistic omnivore, so life is good and we tend to finish our plates.

My Sister sent us a copy of the Veganomicon as a gift and the clouds parted, the sun came out and there was joy in the kitchen once again.
