One of my coworkers organized a vegetarian (although not completely vegan, there were a few lacto/ovo dishes) potluck, as a way to welcome spring. I made Broccoli Mushroom Noodle Casserole (from the Moosewood Cookbook, which I had to run to B&N to buy a new copy, because both copies we had mysteriously vanished from the kitchen [possibly gone in the Big Cleanup]), in the half-empty square dish near the front. It went surprisingly well, considering how much resistance to the idea there was in the beginning - this is an office with a fairly high percentage of people who like to hunt and fish. I was full, anyway, and everything was delicious. Well except for the the eggplant. Blech.

Note: me - omnivore, but not averse to meatless meals. Also, any new Trek icons you see are by mrs_spock lemonrocket, who is a genius icon-maker, and I have been meaning to glomp some of hers for some time. ;) Present icon: one of my favorite vegetarians.

That sounds really nice! Spock is a vegetarian? How did that escape my brain back when I watched Star Trek TOS. (At least, I just googled and got a page saying Spock and Nimoy are vegetarians...)

Of course I wasn't one then, and I am now but not frantic about it.

Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender is a vegetarian but I don't seem to have an icon of him.

It was supposedly a part of Vulcan culture and one of the things they renounced along with emotions. It played a larger part in this episode (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Our_Yesterdays_(Star_Trek)), where because of a time travel thing, Spock seemed to be reverting to his people's time, before Vulcans and Romulans split.

I didn't know Nimoy was, but it doesn't surprise me. ;)

Well, I'm not 100% sure about Nimoy; it just turned up on a google search.

Hee, thanks! I think I may have seen the episode and somehow forgotten.
