From yesterday’s Times:
No-holds-barred carnivores, for example, may share the view of Anthony Bourdain, who wrote in his book “Kitchen Confidential” that vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans … are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit.”

yah, first Lori Gottlieb says desperate women need to settle for Mister Warm Body http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200803/single-marry
and then in the Times we read about guys being dumped for liking real cheese instead of soy cheese. Which is it? Youth wants to Know!

My daughter is a vegetarian. The rest of us are omnivores. We eat mostly vegetarian food, and only eat meat a couple of times a week. It’s menu most of us like. However, it’s sometimes a real pain in the ass to not have everyone on the same page.
If I want to make a dish with salmon I have to make two versions. I can no longer use chicken stock in soup.
I don’t like the idea of having her just scavange for herself, because we are a family. We should eat together.
It’s little stuff that ultimately I don’t mind doing, but it’s annoying enough that I look forward to her going to college and having the rest of the family on the same diet.
I put my foot down when she said she wanted to be a vegan. There is no way we are buying/cooking around that.

…unfortunately I lost track of time and space at the mention of Anthony Bourdain but when I finally came down to earth, I read the NYT article and thought to myself, god, Americans have far too much time on their hands.
p.s. found 11D via Pajamas Media and your interesting look at the mom label. I never tore my label off even though the youngest is 18. I loved my cashmeres but after the first few milk and food stains, realized they were badges of honor. Someone was being held and fed and loved to beget that stain. Cool.

My bookclub has a vegetarian and when it’s my turn to host I get constipation of the soul. I’ve managed fancy omelettes while camping, 5 course meals while under sail, but cannot, cannot, cannot cook for my bookclub.
I’m here from the PJMedia article on the eco-moms. I laughed out loud with the line “Dont.Buy.Shit” Still, I’m addicted to my water bottles (which I wash and refill from the tap.)
