Periodically I've tried to go vegetarian. Can't go the whole way, though. I don't care for beef, pork or chicken, but I love seafood, and it's too hard to give up dairy products entirely. Soy milk and other products just aren't the same.

Any such attempts came to a screeching halt when I moved back in with MrIris. Meat is what's for dinner for him, most nights.

Culinary school? Why did I think you were going to be a teacher?
