100 for 100

December 11, 2008

This is my 100th post! I thought I’d make a list of 100 things I like to eat. In the old days of being a vegetarian, people used to always ask me – incredulously – “What do you eat?” Of course, the answer is not what I (or any vegetarian) eats, but what I don’t. For me, there are four things I don’t eat. Red meat, poultry, the other white meat, and fish. Every single other food out there in the entire world is a possibility for me. It took me about 5 minutes to come up with this list and I could easily have come up with another 100.

Happy 100 to me!
