Here’s what’s cooking at my place today: vegetarian chili. And yes, I’m wearing non-leather shoes as it simmers. I picked up a nice pair the other day at Payless. Yea, I’m giving them a plug (for free), because they’re the only place around here where you can get decent leatherless men’s shoes at cheap-o prices. Admittedly, they’re made by non-union labor in China, but I’m all for world trade. Our economy eventually got out of its sweatshop phase, and I’m hoping that China will follow. Enough heavy issues for now, I’m gonna see how that chili is doing.
