The Joy of Standardized Testing

It’s a semi-known fact that yours truly tutors the SAT for a major test prep company to supplement his income.  I’ve got nothing negative to say about the experience, but lately I’ve developed this strange problem.  I can’t write more than three complete sentences without reverting to a multiple choice format.  I can’t contr… 1) At a certain restaurant 1/3 of the diners paid for their meals in cash, 1/2 paid with a credit card, and the remaining 16 washed dishes in exchange for their food. If the person to your right is eating red meat, you think to yourself: A) How unhealthy; I’m a vegetarian! B) How deplorable; I’m a vegan! C) How delicious; Can I have some? D) How compelling; Is that beef grass-fed? E) 96 2)...

Read This!

Someday, when I write my book, The Vegetarian Epidemic, it will include a chapter entitled “Margarine of Error.” Despite the working title, I have no “beef” with vegetarians (in their presence I prefer tofu). In fact, I think I understand where they’re coming from quite well. How can this be? Well, you’ll just have to read the book and find out. It will be positively groundbreaking. Look for it in stores sometime next decade. In the meantime, read this (over and over and over again).

Thinking Deeply

Hiya folks. Things are busy, busy, busy right now. Here’s a thought to chew on for the time being. Stop by tomorrow and I’ll provide you with something far superior to chew on… a frankfurter! Oh yes, the thought. Why is it that of all the events I’ve ever catered the only one where veggie dogs have been anywhere near as popular as frankfurters was for a group of people who call themselves “The League of Pissed Off Voters”? Could it be that vegetarians are naturally angry and aggressive??? I jest, of course. Vegetarians are swell. Not only do I like many of them, I also like what they eat. It’s just that I also really really enjoy what they won’t eat. There are many vegetarians who have earned my deep respect...

Can't We All Just Get Along?

I have a dream, that one day kielbasas and veggie dogs can sit blissfully next to one another on the same grill… In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, we will be closed this Monday, January 15. See you Tuesday!

Beleza Coffee

Sure was a fast weekend. I must have blinked for an exceptionally long time, because I don’t quite understand how it’s already Monday. Now, I’m not a big advocate of coffee. Not so much my thing. When it comes to food and beverage intake, caffeine is my achilles heel, so to speak. Nonetheless, I have been known to enjoy a cup of joe every now and then. Especially at a good coffee house. What does that have to do with anything, you ask? Well, I met some seemingly cool people who live on the North Side over the weekend. They appear to have an uncanny amount in common with me. They’re vegetarians, they’re originally from Michigan, they love coffee… hmmm, wrong list. They’re in their mid-twenties, they’ve...
