quotations

the other day i was reading thru my posts tagged "quotations" and i was surprised at how many good ones i'd completely forgotten about! i also stopped posting them on this site and will start up again. :)

from alan richman - fork it over: the intrepid adventures of a professional eater

"you should not look for the spots of the sun but the light that it gives."

"nobody is more close-minded than me when it comes to vegetarian cuisine, regardless of whether it's vegan, macrobiotic, or vegetarian... i find vegetarian restaurants both smug and culinary unsuccessful. still, i have always been inclined to allow vegetarians to go about their business without interference from me. but i don't feel quite the same about vegans. what infuriates me about them is their self-righteousness, their insistence that we miscreants give up our enjoyment of food and eat what the eat."

omg, the last one. t keeps telling me i'm a picky eater. and yeah, i'm the first one to admit it. but isn't she also? she doesn't eat a few things she doesn't like (goat cheese, blue cheese, lamb) but she doesn't eat tons of things because they're "unhealthy", like cow milk, especially not whole milk. it's just so annoying because i'm not pretentious about my dietary habits but she totally is. ugh! you're not better than me just because you eat healthy. we just value different things. oh, right, and i'm not an ass.
