Weekliy Roll Call....From Missouri

[Guest guest]

This is Mindy from Missouri (about an hour from the Arch). I've been

on this list for just a few weeks. Right now I am sneaking up on

vegetarianism slowly but stealthily like a great cat. I aspire to

become a lacto/ovo, which I almost am. Supreme pizzas sometimes foil

my efforts.

 

This week I waited on a man who changed the light bulb on top of the

St. Louis Arch. I helped him look for work (he's laid off) and

grilled him like a sandwich for about 30 minutes about the Arch, what

it was like on top of it, inside it and all around it. I learned a

lot.

 

As far as salad goes, my favorite one is always made from whatever I

find lurking in my refrigerator and cupboard -- usually red leaf

lettuce, sliced green onion and green pepper, tomato, lemon basil

from my backyard, black olives and (since I am not vegan) a hard

boiled egg and low-fat mozzarella cheese. Over this, I pour sun-

dried tomato dressing. Yum Yum! Occasionally I will drop some nuts

on top and maybe a peeled and sliced tangerine or orange for flavor

and color.

 

Salads are a party in a bowl! Party on!

Mindy - I love the way you write! What is it you do for a living?

If supreme pizza's foil your vegetarian attempts, why not try the

Boca or Smart brands? They've got sausage and pepperoni alternative

options.

 

Welcome to the group!
