I asked my friend Candy to guest post today. She is an awesome lady, who apparently doesn't eat meat. Yet she often describes sumptous foods in her tweets and on her blog. I think she should start her own recipe blog. She makes everything sound so good. Even though I am a carnivore by nature, my mouth waters at her descriptions.
Her blog is a very upliftiing place to visit. Go ahead. Do so. And beg her to start her own vegetarian site. Or to contribute here regularly. Whatever grinds your garbanzos.

Just to clarify, I do eat SOME meat. I have nothing against eating anything "from a mother" but I have a little personal problem with things like running gears and little pieces of the circulatory and nervous system you tend to find in meat. I feel safe as a herbivore.
