Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight.

We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind.

Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!

Just cause you don't eat meat doesn't mean you can't BBQ. BBQ'd veggie skewers are the best. OMG bbq potatoes too. Please there are tons of veggie and tofu burgers out there.

That was so funny! There are lots of yummy things you can BBQ that have nothing to do with meat! I am sure it was great!

Don't ever go to a Dutch BBQ if you don't eat meat! That's ALL there is. If you're extra lucky you might find a small potato salad somewhere but mostly it's just meat *L*

Ironic, indeed!

Here in Pakistan, nobody can conceive the idea of a BBQ without meant! It's like they live on meat here. Seriously vegetarianism is an alien concept here. I am glad you still have options for your BBQ.

I hope it went well! :)

That was really funny! Barbeque-ing is such a novelty in our culture isn't it? Well there are veggie patties and veggie dogs available at health food stores. Last time I went to one, my friend was thoughtful enough to get me a boca burger. What a dear heart. My personal favorite is the kind they have at Costco here- one kind is a spicy black bean burger and the other is more of a veggie patty. Sometimes when we want to mix a bit of cooked with our rawness, we put one of those on one of our crackers and away we go! Yippee!

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

The End of This Chapter

Last night the quiet of the house was heaven. After a full day of the park, the library and the kids at their grandparents house while Jeffrey and I went up to take care of our rental house, lease signing, moving out inspection and repairs, we were all very tired. The children were finally nestled into their dreams, and I sat with Jeffrey, my head resting on his shoulder, his hand caressing my arm, just visiting. We talked about the children.   We talked about school. We talked about our rental house. And our plans for the future. As we sat thus, formulating plans and dreams, we had a rude awakening. More so me. Because Jeffrey is so calm and even keeled.  He balances me perfectly. While I stress and worry, he is there to patiently and softly guide me through the storms of my frustrations and mostly imagined hardships. Last night was a perfect example. We received the news. The dreaded and anticipated and longed for news. And it came in the form of an email from a
