Vegetarian Nick? No WAY! (Yes way?)

Having met a vegetarian, I am having to rethink life on a major scale. Everything I always knew has to be thrown out the window. It's quite massive. But when I look at it carefully, it's not such a major shift. I was never a huge red meat eater, my steak blog notwithstanding, and chicken . . . well, a mushroom can stand in for chicken with no ACTRA repercussions. But this person is not just a vegetarian: throw a picky vegetarian into the mix! No wheat as well! Can you say "cooking challenge"?

Just a major mind shift. When the list of ingredients becomes small, one must really be creative. And I'm nothing if not creative.

Can I say I will become a vegetarian? No, I can't.

But the thought is intriguing, if only from a cooking point of view. The challenge: to convert all my old recipes to vegetarian ones. It can be done.

It can be done.

  2. Aaargh -- you're waterboarding me

    How did you know I was an inveterate domain name collector???

    I still haven't developed montrealcurry.com or montrealsushi (which I'm going to give up)

    Aaargh! Trust you to hit my sweet spot

    But if you want to purchase it we can go in together

    Looks like I'm in this vegetarian game for the long haul

    When it's someone you love... well, you make major sacrifices

    And so I shall.

  3. You collect domain names do you? That's interesting. So do I. I own some nice .coms that I bought a few years ago before all the good ones were taken. Some are quite desirable judging by the offers I've received, but I intend to keep them.

    That wasn't always the case. Although I registered quite a few names over the years I allowed some to lapse simply because of the cumulative cost of annual renewal, only to regret my decision later. By then it was usually too late and somebody else had snapped them up.

    So don't let montrealcurry.com and montrealsushi.com go Nick. It'll cost peanuts to keep them and while you own them they're your brands. If I could get some of my old domains back I would....

    By the way I'd love to let you know some of the names I own but if I did you'd just go straight to WhoIs and my cover would be blown.

  4. Nah, I ain't coming hunting . . . but it's true that there is only one domain for something and myonlymontrealfood.com does not work.

    Good advice, Assisi, maybe I'll hang on to montrealsushi. Christ alive, I was so lucky to get montrealfood . . . you should see what messes have been made by all the other xxxfood sites. Man. And it looks like mtl food is going to undergo a renaissance. Not sure when, but it will. Maybe a couple of months.

    About time. But you're right

    Will hang on to them

    Nick
