Gasoline and vasoline

Eric triumphed in tennis again, beating me 6-4. When my serve is right on, he can't return it. Sadly, this only happened about 5 times last night. Feels good to get out and run around - hope we can make it a weekly occurance.

I'm buying gas today, because I'm a terrorist.

Also, how come no one told me about Quorn before? That faux chicken patty I had last night was the best I've ever had!

Lately I've been thinking about how people start dating. Marie and I met and became friends while she was engaged. Had she been single, I wonder if we would've ended up together - something about her being taken made it easier to just be myself. To those of you who are currently in a relationship, were you single when you met the person or involved with someone else? How do you think it affected your new relationship?

I've heard of Quorn, but haven't found it up here. I'm loathe to suggest things that I haven't tried.

On that note, does your grocer carry Veggie Patch products? Their fake chicken patties (and nugs) are yummy. If you have a Trader Joe's near you, I really miss their fake meatballs.

Dave and I met while both of us were single. Of course, living in different countries, we had only IM and e-mail to get to know each other. In retrospect, I think it's easier when you don't have to face a person and misinterprete their facial expressions and whatnot.

No Trader Joe's here - but I hear it's praises being sung all the time on LJ. I'll have to check into Veggie Patch - we usually get Gardenburger or Amy's.

It's funny - Marie and I spent a ton of time via email and IM, despite living in the same dorm. It was a good mix on in-person time and semi-distanced time.

Those fake meatballs are so good. I had them last night.
