This fast is getting to me. I have been seriously thinking about going into my backyard and hugging some trees. Guess that would make me a 'bleeding-heart, tree-hugging libertarian'.

I made some potato-patties last night. Boil some potatos and mush them together with fresh cilantro, green chilis, soy cheese (yes, really), and some chives. Add salt/pepper to taste, form into little patties, roll them in various ground nuts and fry them in oil. Yum. The thing is, though, that I made this dish in an earlier part of the fast, and I really didn't like it. I thought it was bland. And without substance. Pointless, really. And this time, I wolfed it down.

I can't be turning into a vegetarian. That would just be wrong. Somehow.

It will all be over on Good Friday.
