“Miracle Salsa?!” “Git a rope.”
Peach Mango Mircacle Salsa
Remember those old TV commercials that illustrated some cowboys on the range settlin’ down for the night? Getting’ their grub, one of those cowboys grabs some salsa to put into the chili. The other dude looks up and grabs the salsa whilst wigglin’ his handle-bar mustache. He squints his eyes, focusing on the label. His eyes shoot open. “This salsa was made in New York City.” The others can’t believe it. “New York City?!” That poor misguided city slicker who brought that New York City made salsa is mighty affeared and sweatin’ Read more »
“Is there meat in this?” Vegetarians at a company potluck and the games we play.
A company potluck is like the tunnel in “Goonies,” full of booby-traps. I should know since I am an accidental connoisseur of company potlucks; I have been employed at 34 jobs during the 28 years I have been on this planet and that has translated in my attending hundreds of potlucks, company parties, buffets, and smorgasbords. The one thing each potluck has in common? The organizer and contributor’s have no idea that vegetarians exist.
Don’t get me wrong, like any decent vegetarian I don’t expect special treatment at these events. I am satisfied if there is a vegetable tray present, because vegetarians know that a vegetable tray is money at a potluck; a vegetable tray is like meat-eater repellent, “can’t waste valuable stomach space on something that didn’t have a beating heart.”
HOW TO TURN PEOPLE INTO VEGETARIANS
Ok … so the headline may be a little misleading. I should have titled this article “how not to be an irritating vegetarian,” but then you wouldn’t have started reading it. Now that you are here and are finishing up the first paragraph you might as well keep reading.
When I first became vegetarian, over ten years ago, I was fascinated with all of the scare facts and statistics offered by PETA and other in-your-face organizations. I was so enthralled by these facts that I wanted to share them with everyone and I thought if I simply shared this information with people they would not only change their lifestyle, but they would probably be so pleased that I graced them with the knowledge I would undoubtedly be named in their will.
Tolstoy link fixed.
For those who attempted to read the entire article, “The Immorality of Carnivorism”, by following the link in the article on Leo Tolstoy, It is now fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Somewhere between here and there
While recently speaking with a family member, I was reminded of a comical situation. In so doing, I felt inclined to share.
For many who know me, it may come as a surprise to find out that I’m an Idahoan, or as we say, a tater tot. I was born in a little town called Parma, Idaho, just off the Oregon state line. Though it should have been apparent, with my desire to incorporate potatoes into everything possible, and that single tear that rolls down my cheek whenever I hear that ole’ Mountain Bluebird just-a singin away. Though my life spent in Idaho was a short one, we have family throughout the west, as a result, we were always passing through.
Now there was a little diner just on the outskirts of Parma. On one of these visits we decided to stop by and grab something to eat. Starving, we all got out of the car and filed into the diner. Being the gentleman that I am, I decide Read more »

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. —Albert Einstein
