BYOK

At a small shop in the Barlow:
"Check out this very hippie version of Adam and Eve."

Chatting at Community Market, I hear about a dinner group in a small neighborhood.  The woman explains to me, "After doing dinners together twice a month for a while we realized there were three very different types of meals.  We had the hometown grill families.  We had the hummus and veggie plate families.  And then the extreme vegan meals that are usually wheat- and sugar free too.  You know, where you're still hungry after.  We had to design a system depending on who was hosting."  She showed me a group email:
D = desserts will have sugar
M = if you want meat/poultry you have to provide your own
V = if you want vegetarian option, have to provide your own
VP [veggie protein] = protein will be nuts, tahini, tempeh, etc.
NS = do not give children anything with sugar
W = wine only, any fancy health drinks like Kombucha... BYO

At the end of a friend's text:
"We meet every third Wed.  And by meet I mean everyone is so cheap & won't pitch in ten bucks a month, so we meet at Community Market.  Because, ya know, it's Sebastopol."

On top of spaghetti
all covered with ghee
I lost my poor tofu
when somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table
and onto the floor
And then my poor tofu
rolled out the front door.

Somewhere in downtown: 
"I don't need an excuse to go shopping.  I could do it everyday."
"The only thing that will get me shopping is having yoga pants with so many holes I can't wear them any more."

I was tagged in a post by a woman who did a week-long retreat somewhere in the hills of west county:
"Such a lovely vacation.  Really delicious food.  Although it would have been nice to have an option of doing something without it being consciousness-raising or healing or meaningfully life-changing.  Is it ok to do a walk on the property without having to meditate?  Even in town, talking to a cashier about carrots that led to veganism saving the world."

A Sunday school teacher sent me the following:  "We are talking at the end of class about good and evil... kids saying who is good and who is bad.  Evildoers are robbers, thieves, murderers.  I practically fell off the chair laughing when a boy says very seriously, 'The person who built the new CVS.'"
