I love how you put it. I'd swear and use the f word and be all mean saying how I f'ing loved it but I don't want to be rude. Lets just say it rocks.

My Brooklynese tends tocomes out when I shoot from the hip. I am so glad you spoke up and the situation changed.GiGihttp://gigi-2boomers.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370090115939866676.post-86163030694279857972011-10-31T15:47:15.340-07:002011-10-31T15:47:15.340-07:00I really think we are bypassing the true issue her...I really think we are bypassing the true issue here, GiGi: The fact that someone made FOUR dips consisting of yogurt (??!!!) What happened to guacamole or salsa, people??? I can't even list names of 4 dips that contain yogurt.

I was so embarrassed to have been rude, but after that, the food at the party began to change. Now there's tons of stuff that's vegan. They didn't mean to be anti-vegan, they just hadn't thought about it.<br /><br />Your friends were shockingly clueless, and I don't blame you for being upset. Sometimes I wonder if subtlety is lost on certain people, and just telling them how you feel is a more realistic approach.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370090115939866676.post-68228645580795033862011-10-31T08:50:54.869-07:002011-10-31T08:50:54.869-07:00Cara- So astute.

Last week I had the good fortune to see "Vegucate" and experience a terrific Q&A panel afterwards. Colleen Goudreau kept reiterating how as vegans we tend to sit in the corner, remain mum, and don't speak our truth because we don't want to be a burden. (of course there are exceptions to the rule- the vegan who proselytizes every chance they get and makes people uncomfortable-that is not me!!!) Anyway, Colleen kept talking about as vegans we should raise the bar, and come out of hiding. This gave me food for thought. I think, personally, I need to feel like I deserve a little more. Ah growth. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and respond!GiGihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453992304052489225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370090115939866676.post-29013301026478403842011-10-30T20:01:55.639-07:002011-10-30T20:01:55.639-07:00I think when you choose to live your life differen...I think when you choose to live your life differently than the norm (or are forced to due to allergies, disease, etc), a lot of people find you to be a big pain because it either a). It forces them to look at their own habits and challenges them to change; b). They are just lazy and don't care; or c). They are just plain ignorant. Unfortunately, as we have all experienced, this goes beyond eating, doesn't it? Humans be humans, and though I do the same as you would--if I had I guest I would bend over backwards to accommodate, I sadly no longer expect anyone to return the favor. This way, when someone does, I am so happy! :) hehe.Carahttp://www.forkandbeans.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370090115939866676.post-65357920546098156912011-10-30T06:52:05.350-07:002011-10-30T06:52:05.350-07:00Awww, Kittee.
