Question of the Day: Any former vegetarians out there? What happened? Why'd you go back to meat?
Being a poor student! I was happily veg for 4 years of high school, first 2 years of college while I lived in the dorms. Then I got an apartment. I have no problem cooking a totally vegetarian diet for myself in my home - I never buy meat ingredients at the store. And I still very rarely pay for meat when eating out, unless I'm really sick of just ordering the freaking veggie burger. But the number of free food events at my university and my poor student budget make passing up free meaty meals seem wasteful. I call myself a freegan now (vegetarian unless it's free). I've heard others use the term too.

About: trying to graduate, little time to cook anything beyond sustenance. but I love great food well prepared and try to eat it as frequently as possible. grew up in the US, learned to cook in England (Leith's!), fell in love with cuisines of the world.
Favorite foods: sriracha sauce, beans, hummus, fresh fresh veggies with deep flavor, pad thai, pho (recently!), nicaraguan tacos/plantains/everything, Chocolate, brownies, bread!, olives!, pickles!
Last bite on earth: the last perfect bite of the middle of a nicaraguan taco, covered in cabbage shreds and crema. heavenly.
