What do you mean by "herbivore?"

This is where I blabber on and on about food, in particular food that herbivores eat. You may be thinking, What do you mean by "herbivore?" Most people would use the would vegan to describe a person that abstains from eating any animal product. I tend to think of vegans as activists and herbivores as animals, including humans, that only eat a plant-based diet. Since I am not involved with the animal rights movement, I will use my own vernacular of herbivore. And I will most likely interchange vegan and herbivore throughout my writing.

I won't post often. I journal almost daily for my husband to read my thoughts while he's deployed. And I already have a livejournal account (re: kdsaj) for ranting about eco-living and my social life. For our families to know what is going on in our crazy lives, I also use a wordpress account with my husband.

So why have this blog? I love food (re twitter name: foodjunky) and feel a need to have another blog only regarding food. Therefore, I will only post about food I have recently prepared or eaten (or both). Occasionally, I may even include a unique recipe. However, I tend to get my inspiration from wonderful chefs who have created amazing cookbooks. Therefore, I will give them their due credit in my posts, even if I have adapted the recipe to our taste.
