We're in the news!

On Tuesday after school Joel and I were interviewed by Diena newspaper reporter Ieva Alberta about living as a "mixed"- that is vegetarian and omni couple.

The article can be found here.

For those of you that don't read Latvian- basically the few things it says from me are:

• We met a year and a half ago at school- when we started going out to lunch together,I "noticed" that Joel was ordering/eating meat. (This is not altogether true, I mean, ok, I noticed, but truth be told, I generally assume people are meat-eaters unless I know otherwise.)
• Thankfully she says that I have a healthy attitude towards the whole situation- recognizing that being vegetarian is not the norm, and that I should not expect people to conform to me.
  
• Then there is the little funny story about how the first time I cooked for Joel I made Vietnamese spring rolls (fresh veg, pineapple and noodles rolled in rice paper) and that Joel gagged on them. Now I cook him meat.
• And lastly, my quote about how I like to cook for two people, not just myself. So it's worth it to me to cook meat for Joel. Unfortunately for him, I don't taste test what I cook for him, so sometimes it comes out too spicy, salty or something for him. Oh well!
  

The article goes on to quote another article that ran in the New York Times that I had also previously read.

Very unfortunately, the picture attached to the article is dumb! OK- Joel looks really nice actually, but I just look (I apologize for using the term, but) retarded.

So there you go! :)
