Chris,
I haven't been following this thread for the past week and I'm not caught up yet.
I'm a little confused by the above paragraph.  Are you vegan or
lacto-ovo-vegetarian?  It sounds like the latter to me, but I wanted to be sure.
FYI, I've been vegan(1) for almost six years and veg for a while before that.  I
didn't think there was someone else close to my dietary habits on this board(2).
Ok- I'm going to try to catch up on this thread now...

1- except for the occasional mistakes/errors, or course.  There was that time
   I was free-gan too.
2- based on data collected in WAMALUG meetings and the excitement over mcdonalds
   sets.
