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."
"I hav…

It was late.  Everyone in the house was asleep but me.  I was happily folding laundry while watching mindless TV and laughing because King of the Hill is just funny.  I finished, carried my basket upstairs, and smiled.  It was nice having all the laundry folded.  Now to put it away.

I climbed the stairs, making certain to turn off all the lights.  When I got to the top, I noticed the kitchen door was unlocked, so I locked up for the night.  I stealthily entered Beth's room, putting her basket of clothes just inside the door because that baby sleeps like a cat.  I then went into my room and began hanging my clothes up.

I was going rather slowly and daydreaming while I did it, lazily looking forward to sleeping in my bed.  Faye had begged Jeffrey to sleep with her because she couldn't sleep, and so I would get to sprawl to my heart's content.

Suddenly, I heard the doorknob to the kitchen door rattle.  Then I heard the unmistakable sound of a shoulder heaving against the d…
