The Wrath of Purvis

It was an extraordinarily long meeting of the book club and we were having a Mexican dinner when Purvis cornered me about what I wrote about him.

He was so pissed about what I wrote that I began to wonder what I had done that was so horrible.

When I arrived home, I re-read my earlier post. Nothing too bad. Simply that I was just not going to fuck him. Well, given how he is, no wonder he was insulted. And the big teeth and ultra blondness could hardly be insulting, given that most beauty contestants have those attributes, but again, it IS Purvis, who can be very sensitive, whether he likes it or not!

He had also hinted that what he read, "changed the way" he thought about me, the dig being that NOW he thought so much less of me, despise my literary prowess. Oh. Boo. And Hoo.

But onto the food.

I have recently gone vegan. Mostly. Yes, I have. Get out your whips if you must (and read Eat to Live if you must have an explanation).

The latest craze? Ezekiel flatbread (microwaved for 1 minute) slathered with eggplant hummus on one side and fake cream cheese (from Trader Joe's (TM)), fresh basil and sliced persian cucumber served with a side of baby carrots. YUM! I also have this with a cup of veggie broth. It's delicious.

Another favorite is salad greens with either black or white beans, topped with fig balsamic dressing and/or vegan ranch. Delicious.

Now I have to say, I miss cheese. Particularly the dill havarti that they sell at Trader Joe's(TM). I used to eat that with a combination of raw sunflower seeds mixed with salted pumpkin seeds. Now it's just the seeds.

I am hoping to find some good vegan cheeses out there and I know it's not easy, but I will prevail!

I remain,
