    First of all I have to say, I LOVE the pictures you are using on your site, they are hilarious! Secondly I read your whole blog, it was that interesting! But I didnt see anywhere that that it explained to the readers,…..Why did you become a vegetarian. I mean this is a mention in the second post about your hubby, but there is no back story. I would like to read about that! I am not a vegetarian, but I am trying to cut back on eating meat for the environment.
    And I might try the recipes you have listed!
