Lola at the Coffee House

Wow! Interesting conversation about veganism and not. I wish I had more time this morning, but fact it, I don't. I'll catch up later. Quick coffee, please.......Wassau, you know how I like it.

I've been told that most wines are non-vegan. Has to do with the production process.

Wait . . . Vegans? Are we talkin' about this guy?

His eyeshadow is awesome.

Why won't you ever wear eyeshadow?

It itches . . .

Lola...Ossobuco's comment " Love a duck though..." reminded me of that roast duckling we used to get just down the street from your place.

I don't remember the street or the name of the joint...but I would gladly kill for one of those.

No way I could do the vegan bit if any of that plate were around. There is a picture of me in your kitchen carving one of those things in one of the threads here. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Do you think Wassau could do one up for me if I order it in advance?

Couldn't find the one of me carving, but while searching, I did find some threads with pictures you all might find interesting.

Enjoy with your food.

Agree - 100% - but I can't walk! Since the accident that crippled me, I've developed diabetes and osteo-arthritis, but I am able to use an exercise bike, a cross trainer (sitting), and do some weight training, but am unable to do all the simple things that used to be second nature - like walking, running, cycling, riding! Manuals on exercise tell you to run up and down stairs instead of using an escalator, or to walk to your destination instead of using a bus or car - all a bit useless to somebody like me! I use a mobility scooter and can get out and about to shops. or the park with my dog, but none of it really compensates for the stuff I can no longer do.

However, I do stay relatively fit and my diabetes is controlled by diet only - no medication, even after fourteen years - and I put this down to a fairly healthy diet, eating a lot of fruit and vegetables, lots of fish and no red meat, only chicken or turkey breast. The only sweet things I eat are virtual ones - in reality I don't eat any cakes or biscuits at all! But I do want to lose weight, and to get as fit as possible, so am turning to more and more things like dairy substitutes.

What am I -- chopped liver?

I certainly hope not. Chopped liver is regusting.

Andrew is a merry sort of guy.

He don't give a crap what you eat as long as you don't feed it to him.

youre often more serious to the younger crowd (like me).

Yikes.

Is there vegan single malt whiskey?

I believe Kokopelli was, erm, kind of a fertility god. Lots of otherwise unexplained pregnancies were attributed to Kokopelli.

Kokopelli is the flute-playing fertility deity of the Pueblo peoples, e.g. the Hopi. His image is seen everywhere throughout New Mexico and parts of Arizona, scratched on rocks as petroglyphs and sold in every souvenir boutique in wood, sterling silver, turquoise and what have you.

Are Bitcoins accepted in this virtual establishment? I have forgotten my wallet you see.
