Vegan
I am not a vegan, but my girlfriend showed me a book called “Original Fast Foods” that contains a reasonable approach to moving to a largely plant based diet. For flesh eaters, it recommends scaling back significantly on meat – probably a good recommendation for most Americans (since they, on average, get about 50% of their calories from animal sources).
My goal is to live off entirely plant based foods for three weeks. I am currently on week 2. After week three I hope to reintroduce a small amount of meat (mainly fish) into my diet. So far, I have prepared salsas, smoothies, pancakes, shepherd’s pie, lasagna (my favorite to date), and chile.

What’s this about a girlfriend?…

oh, I see. The baby was conceived while Carson was on a diet of weeds and kelp. THAT is why the word “Vegan” appears at the top of the expose about the happy origins of baby fenimore.
I should have predicted this. The pictures of the two combatants on the big ballooonie thing were representive of the bloated feeling in early pregnancy and the good hearted play that leads to the condition. The pictures at the beach of feet in the sand were a muffled cry to all the world, wanting to reveal the pregnancy, but waiting for the right time. Anyone who’s attended public school knows that the origins of life on the planet were in the sea. And then the fish got legs. Yes, the signs were always there, right out where we could all see this coming.
And now, at last, the picture of the potato shaped object in the familiar windshield-squeegie-vee of an abdominal ultrasound printout confirm what none could have guessed: the Fenimore’s will be discussing baby names!
