“I’m not a vegetarian because I love animals, I’m a vegetarian because I hate plants.” –A. Whitney Brown


As I’ve previously stated, it’s much easier to eat vegetarian when Nathan’s gone. It’s not that he complains — I actually can’t remember him complaining about anything I’ve cooked, ever (and it’s certainly not because I haven’t given him reason to). It’s just that I feel guilty. He’s a big guy, and burns calories for a living, so I hate to feel like he’s not getting enough to eat. However, a meal like this one is perfect for me to eat on a night when I’m bacheloretting it.

A hard-boiled egg (usually two, but I only had one egg left last night), a clean-out-the-veggie-drawer salad of romaine, red leaf lettuce, blanched green beans, red onions, carrots, celery, and tomatoes topped with a dijon vinaigrette, and a whole-grain cracker topped with goat cheese. I love eating like this.

And we won’t talk about the four chocolate-chip cookies I ate afterward.
