Things That Make You Go “Der!”
On Friday, Chris and I are having our lovely friends over for dinner. One of the dinner guests is a vegetarian. Following is the conversation Chris and I had about the menu.
Chris: How about hamburgers?
Me: Well, Catherine is a vegetarian.
(silence)
Chris: So, what about chicken then?

That’s okay. When we found out we were pregnant with my daughter, we determined that we must have conceived during our vacation to Canada. My husband’s response was, “So that means our baby is Canadian?” Oh boy . . .

LOL. I have a vegetarian sister. The first time we prepped a meal with her in mind, my husband made lasagna. He wanted to do all the cooking, and I was like “cool, just remember, VEGETARIAN LASAGNA.”
Imagine my surprise when I came home a few hours later to a ground beef lasagna because, AND I QUOTE, “what do you mean she doesn’t eat beef? I thought being vegetarian just meant she ate vegetables?”
Sigh.

Did you find a recipe yet??
Check out 101cookbooks.com for some good ones!
Or my blog! I was vegetarian for a month, and it was fun trying some new things.

i think chickens are vegetarians aren’t they? wouldn’t that make it ok to eat them, but then I think cows are vegetarians also, and pigs, what about them? oh it’s all so confusing, i think i’ll go order me a big mac!

You can still make hamburgers, just get a pack of veggie burgers to go along! Most of them can be thrown on the grill (top shelf, please, so they avoid any drippings). Morningstar Farms Grillers are pretty good but you may want to ask your guest if they have a favorite kind.

That’s really funny. My soon to be adopted sister is a vegetarian, except she wanted to eat shrimp and asked my mom if it was okay for her to be a vegetarian and eat shrimp and my mom said yes… so now she eats shrimp. i told her I think she’s considered a pescatarian. But it was still ridiculous that my mom told her that. ha.
