CONDEMNED MAN’S HEARTY MEAL
Come on! Give it a try. You said you agreed that we eat too much artery-clogging meat, and were willing to give a healthy vegan lifestyle a try.
Yeah, but when I agreed to that, I envisioned potatoes and beans, perhaps broccoli and cauliflower – possibly lots of salads, with iceberg or romaine lettuce, radishes, cucumber and green onions – even ovo-lacto, with chopped, boiled eggs and bits of old cheddar cheese. I never imagined eating flowers. What kind of dressing do you put on them – Kim Kardashian’s perfume??
I can’t wait to put this meal on Instagram. No-one will believe it. 🙄

Ha, and it would end up on instagram too – why do people show pictures of their dinner? Never understood that.

Why do we blog?? Because we think that what we have to say will interest other people. The food photographers just have more ego/insecurity than most, or don’t understand the limits of others’ interest. 😛

Funny story, Archon. Give me Brussels Sprouts with a rare steak any day. 😉

Like politics or religion, I wanted to tweak those who go overboard with veganism/healthy living. The adult son would steal my rare steak if he could, but will pass on the Brussels Sprouts, calling them ‘little green brains’, from an old TV commercial. 😆

A confess I’ve never eaten Brussels sprouts… but if I were ever tempted…I’ll think of brains. 😦

If eating that drek produces Kardashians, I’m staying away from it! I saw a Kardashianoid at market yesterday. Her pouty lips arrived five minutes before she did, and I was still finishing my hot chocolate when her butt finally left. 😯

Hate to tell you… eggs are off the menu for vegans!
I’ll take the carnivore diet too… especially if you’re offering Kim Kardashian perfume! Blech!

Like Christians, Vegans come in a wide range. The self-righteous ovo-lacto bunch won’t eat ‘meat’, but will chow down on eggs and milk/cheese.
A Vegan honcho recently admitted that the diet is not healthy unless you include Vitamin B-12 supplements. 🙄

I’ve never quite figured out why eggs and milk are off limits — nothing is killed producing them. One might fuss about chicken’s tiny cages but dairy cows are treated pretty well. Technically you’d have to shun leather shoes & purses, too, seeing the animal must die first.

Viewed from the outside, the vegan lifestyle can be funny. 😆
Where do you repose that you use the British ‘humour’ version of the word? I write ‘humor’ and ‘honor’ and ‘plow’, for the predominantly American section of my readers. 😉

From the title, I thought we were with a prisoner on death row. Now I think maybe he wishes he hadn’t been so quick to agree to less meat 🙂

I hope you verify it’s all edible before chowing down. Wouldn’t want to see you with a tummy ache. 😔 some thinkers always better in theory.

An elderly acquaintance who’s an avid “all-natural & herbal” fan was telling us one day that “These (anti-cancer) drugs the doctors give you all have side effects. But plant derivatives, being all natural, will have NO side effects!”
We laughed about it later. Marijuana, Opium, Nicotine, Belladonna, Hemlock, Poison Ivy & Oak, Foxglove, Poinsettia, Castor bean, plus those you mentioned. 🙂
