About Me: I try to be the best Alex I can be. Sometimes I don't try very hard.

You're the shit! Now say something nice about me.

hey hows it going?

Grand & 44 area sounded good to me

So, for you, I've found this recipe:

Strawberry and Rhubarb Sorbet with Mint
Ingredients:

2 1/4 pounds rhubarb -- trimmed, sliced
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup water
2 pints strawberries -- hulled and sliced
1 1/2 cups orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh mint -- minced

Procedure:

In a non-aluminum saucepan, combine the rhubarb, the sugar, the vanilla extract and the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. The rhubarb should be very tender and falling apart. Carefully transfer the rhubarb to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. You may need to do this in batches and begin by pulsing or flicking the on and off switch of the blender. Transfer the rhubarb puree to a bowl.

Add the strawberries and orange juice to the processor or blender and pulse or blend until smooth. Combine the strawberries with the rhubarb. Chill the mixture in a refrigerator until thoroughly cool. This may be done overnight.

Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Add the mint while the mixture is freezing. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for at least four hours or overnight before using.

Super hell yeah you ought to come for a visit! I can do more than just make suggestions, I will be the tour guide and introduce you to our veg-celebs! People miss so much when they come here cause they fear socially awkward situations- we know how to host so email for phone number. It'll be rad.

Hey, I'm going to try to stop by and see you tomorrow at your booth! xo.

Hey! Just got back from NC a couple of days ago. We had a really great time! I'm not sure if you guys are still in Jamaica or not but I hope you are having fun either way! Talk soon! xo.

Born and raised in a series of small towns in Upstate NY. I moved to NYC for grad school. I was terrified at first haha. I'm getting used to it now. It's nice to have plenty of vegan places to eat, and something to do all of the time. I'm still not sure I fit in with the Manhattan crowd, you know? Who cares though...
How have you been?

Hey, Alex. I don't think I've ever left you a comment before, so I just wanted to say hi. I hope all is well.
Take care.

I am doing pretty good. Getting ready to leave for a week in North Carolina. I actually have been dating a guy that I met on vegifide for a while now who lives there. We do the back and forth thing, it sucks sometimes but it's worth it. How have you been? Anything new going on?

I like your new profile pic!

why disappointed? don't be. we all do things our own way. over the years, i've helped convert many folk to a vegan lifestyle. we all have the same goal in mind. just different ways of achieving it. so, don't be disappointed with me. I'm definitely not with you. You rock. You're hardcore and that's needed. I just wouldn't expect that from many folk. For instance, on here. Very few people took part in our conversations. i believe that's because it's a hard topic. I think there's lots of people on here who believe in passivity. I think it will take all the different types to make the change we want and need. phew. i tired now. so, if i've completely missed the mark in this conversation, sorry. if so, disregard.

the article was interesting. I agree with many points but not all. It sounds elitist and will come across as such. There are good points made though.

didn't sound so convincing. still annoyed? i'll read it and let you know my thoughts.
hope you're well.

Hey we should shoot hoops again sometime- give me a chance to win my money back. Lengthy non-sequitors are ok right? I thought so cause I don't shoot hoops- It wouldn't be vegan!

remember the last comment you made to me? Be pleased with equality as i think we had a disagreement this time around. Friends?

you midwest girls are somethin' else. sheesh. stop noticing all the "attention" i'm giving you.

Hey, let's be friends, wanna?

Aw, I try. :P

Thank you.

Ooh, I like being the ISH! hehe And you're fantabulous!! ;-)
