“What’s with the basket?”
Sharlynn’s lip curled up. “For the catch.”
Robert raised an eyebrow. “Thought you went vegan.”
“I did,” Sharlynn grinned. “But Bertrand resists, and I thought I’d shock him and prepare fish for his birthday dinner. It’s not every day that a man turns half centenarian.”
Robert groaned. At forty-nine, he was next in line.
“So,” Sharlynn’s eyebrow matched her brother’s. “May I come aboard?”
“Sure,” Robert waved in half-invitation, half-defeat.
“Don’t look so worried,” Sharlynn laughed. “I’m gonna clean’em up myself. Also, Bertie’s getting kale quiche. What I truly hope to ‘fish’ is some fresh seaweed.”

Well, if the catch is a success … it will be kale and seaweed quiche … 😉

They say seaweed is nutritious, as is kale. And I’m thinking the flavors are equally unpleasant 🙂

Yeah … I happen to like sea weed in some preparations (less in others), and I can tolerate kale as long as it is not raw or ‘smoothied’ – but I’m thinking that her hubby might prefer a pizza for his birthday … 😉

And, yeah, A for enthusiasm … 😉 Me? I’m gonna go with some spinach-cheese-potato-eggs-and-chilis quiche for my not-even-birthday dinner. 🙂

Sorry Missy.. but you said quiche and quiche means eggs and eggs mean not vegan. Just being persnickety 😉 (I’ll NEVER understand vegans. Ever.)
And that sounds delicious… Is your birthday coming up?

LOL! There are, as you know ‘egg substitutes’ (though I agree with you that it ought to be called ‘quiche’ and not actual quiche …). I’ll stick with eggs and such. And cheese.

Let’s just say that my birthday not till after the US elections … 😉

There are some vegans in my extended family. I respect their reasons, and their dedication, and their choices. But … I think I’d wilt within a week or so if I had do go without animal protein. So … I DO try to go for humane treatment of resources and food sources (for animal products as well as produce–because people have to work the fields and pick those, too …).

Na’ama Y’kara,
Kale and seaweed to sound good to me. Although I’d prefer to have a side of sashimi and perhaps some sake to go with them. Vegan? Me? Not ever. 😉 I hope Bertrand enjoys his half-century dinner.
Shalom,
Rochelle

At least she is trying to be thoughtful… Not sure how a vegan could stand fishing though. Most believe it’s cruelty and take the moral high ground. There are always exceptions.
