12/01/2001 Entry: "Eat your veggies."

Off to the Boyfriend's house for homemade dinner. He doesn't cook like this very often but does a pretty good job when he does. Among the items on the menu are Brussels Sprouts, since at Thanksgiving dinner there was a little mishap involving the over-eager application a particular ingredient of the recipe. Whoops.

Normally he's really good at making sure I can eat when we go out. He was a vegetarian for a while, so we've had few if any arguments between dating vegetarians and meat-eaters. It seems like common sense to me: Don't mess with what other people eat. Just as my reasons for not eating meat are personal, other people may take offense if I berate them for their food choices. If nothing else, I pause and consider that there are worse things they could eat.
