So how about it? Group hug? Just for today?

    Congrats – a job well done – lots of work yet to do.

    Thanks to Richard and all the participants here.

    In the meantime, brief Brit comedy piece on Vegetarian eating and entertaining via Instapundit.

    Enjoy and don’t offend yourself.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all!

    Wow, that’s a pretty comprehensive list! (I used to be one of those until last month!)

    Here’s to keeping the “thanks!” in Thanksgiving!

    Yes, giant hug to all

    Thank you Richard, for being the unrelenting voice of counter-contempt that so deservedly needs to be sprinkled around (and preferably in the faces of the contemptuous). Also, thanks for your many salivation-inducing photos of real food and primal recipes :)

    Hope you had a good one, Richard and all.
