Hey Tim/Mikeypod. Good show, still enjoying it but before I forget.

Cold remedy. Neti pot, I know it’s gross to think about but it does work. Also, lots of fluid and zinc tablets under the tounge when you first feel it. (Zycam)

I feel for you and your stories about having to interact with a meat eating world. It is, of course, totally different for me living in the burbs of ATL than it is for you guys in DC and NYC…. I very rarely go out to eat and when I do it’s to a very select subset of places that I know are vegan friendly. I’m with Mikeypod on the …. the longer I am a vegan, the less tolerance that I have for meat conversations. Also, Tim, you handled the dead bird on the sandwich much better than I would have….. I’m widely know for scene causing and I would have pulled it right out for the second time they messed up my sandwich.

We were at a california burrito place the other day and the ppl behind the counter couldn’t understand why I didn’t want cheese or meat on my burrito EVEN THOUGH we go there fairly often and they have vegan options on their menu. I wasted no time at all filling their entire staff in on my preferences and that I wouldn’t tolerate any further sideways glances. Well, John and I got our meals for free, an apology from the manager AND I think that the people that were working there that night will think the next time somebody says no meat.

My theory is this: If you are so accommodiating, as a vegan, that nobody knows what vegans need then there will never been any tolerance towards vegans. Another way to put it is that social pain (in this case them feeling awkard because I was yelling) is the only way to truly movitate people into turly learning a lesson.

Yeah, I know this sounds harsh…. but I think harsh is having to live in a world that doesn’t respect anything about you or your beliefs.

Cold Remedy: My mom used to make me pastina with butter. Not vegan, but, to me it’s the best comfort food.

As usual, I’m listening to you guys while I try to fall asleep. This time in my Detroit-Rock-City hotel room. I’m laughing out loud, thus not sleeping. But, FYI, Ramble is right…Amy’s scramble is amazing. My mouth is kind of watering thinking of it. I also make them at home, and think I posted it on my blog. The picture isn’t really pretty as I took it with my phone, but it taste amazing.

And, I made jambalaya the other day with Field Roast chipotle sausages and Gardein fillets. Served it to a bunch of critter-eaters and they loved it!

If you write a note to Gardein they will send you great coupons. I’m kind of going nuts with their goodies!

Ok..xoxo. SA
