I went to a dinner party last night where everyone was drinking wine, listening to Marc Almond, and discussing things like the recent election and Bush's failures. I felt like I was in a strange movie. But then the girl next to me started talking to me about Food Network and I felt much better.

What was the dinner, you ask? Let me tell you...

Pureed spinach, chard and kale soup, stuffed squash and creme brulee. Anyone who knows me realizes it took all of my strength to control my gag reflex a few times, but I did, indeed, east a good portion of the vegetarian insanity.
