Mark recently went home for a visit. The way he tells it, everybody in his life commented that he's gotten fat and bald. Upon his return he informed me that we're going to get healthy. Now I can't eat meat, eggs, or cheese in peace. Thanks Ohio.
Mark has always led a healthier lifestyle than me, but he's completely lost perspective. He yells, "You're trying to kill me," if I use a Teflon coated pan or the tiniest bit of oil. If I tell him he's as handsome to me as the first day I met him, he screams, "Liar, I don't believe anything you say."
In spite of the vanity at the heart of his aspirations, I am cooking vegetarian these days. Today I have a delicious sandwich recipe from a cookbook my sister Megan uses, The Vegan Table. I don't like most of these ingredients on their own, but this sandwich is truly spectacular- even if you're not a psycho health nut!
