Our #2 Daughter is almost-a-vegan. She’ll eat eggs from her own chickens, because she knows they’re spoiled rotten. 😉 She’ll eat dairy from small farms which will let you come visit the cows. But mostly, she’s vegan.

Because of her influence, Charlie and I are mostly vegan, as well, although we aren’t as principled as she is, and I’m less principled than Charlie. SHUT UP! I MEAN ABOUT VEGANISM. I’M PLENTY PRINCIPLED. I AM, SO!

ANYWAY, for those who feel sorry for vegans and think poor old vegans have nothing they can eat, here is a picture of one of our meals.

Reading from left to right, that’s beet greens, breaded and fried summer squash, and bi-color corn, all from local farmers. I particularly enjoyed the beet greens, because I bought the beets and the greens came with them as a bonus. They’re delicious and beautiful, with the red and green of them.

If you want to see some real fancy vegan vittles, visit Vegans Eat Pencil Shavings. You’ll wonder why you bother with boring old meat.

I’m posting today at Fatal Foodies on the subject of my new favorite snack, Crusty Charlie.
