Could still be on for a trip to Dallas for work. Just looked at flights and the ones going out are at decent times but coming home will be shit. I can't sleep on planes which doesn't help.

I live in Dallas!

I'll let you know if it happens. We can go out for donuts. I will be in Carrollton.

^ Huh?

Great. I'm in Irving.

Hey, Blue, can my name be orange?

I can't figure it out. Then again anytime making people a certain color is a pain in the ass on this crappy ACP

Ewww. Gross. If it's UK, it's got to be Dojo.

Well, thanks anyway for trying to make me orange, Ryu. I guess you'll just have to make me a mod.

Don't worry about it, my friend.

:?:

Kiba's name looks orange to me.

Sonikku's signature on here is badass.

Yes, it was the only signature badass enough to accurately reflect the inherent awesomeness of the individual it was aimed at representing.

Best sound board ever!

^ Welcome.

Well I've given up all animal products. I've gone vegan now. I couldn't justify it anymore.

And welcome Ys!

Yep, no more cheese . If I ever go to France I'll be stuck drinking wine. (Not complaining about that. , but I will get none of their great food. )

I don't eat beef or lamb as they make me ill. I've considered going all the way but the alternatives aren't that great. Also don't touch dairy as I can't take the milk, just wants to come back up all the time.

The thing about Tofu is its all in the way that you cook it. So many places when they cook tofu as an alternative fry it up like meat and it tastes pretty bland and ... well terrible. Yet this vegan restaurant that I love going to makes delicious tofu and tempeh. There's also another meat substitute called seitan which has a very convincing texture. I don't know what's available over there but you should check it out sometime. I'm sure you don't have this particular product over there but it might give you an idea.

But heck if you don't eat dairy right now it shouldn't be as hard. I think cheese is one of the hardest things to substitute but even that is progressing quite well these days. Daiya is pretty great, although sadly more pricey than cheese. And there's plenty of recipes for nut based cheese like sauces that can be pretty good.

^ Actually not that keen on cheese anyway. I've been eating tofu for years and I've never seen it as a meat substitute as it's nothing like meat. I do like it though.
