Since we made all our fund-raising goals for the abortion fund, I have a lot of promises to keep! (Of course, you can still donate and help us wildly exceed our goals here.) And, as you all know, my food posts have attracted a surprising amount of haterade, though I've made my peace with it. (I remembered that a woman writing about anything considered traditionally feminine---fashion, wedding planning, motherhood, housekeeping, crafts---is going to face people insisting that she's a complete failure who should be ashamed of herself. I shouldn't expect an exception from this rule. Plus, some of the comments are typical of the way that vegetarians get harassed generally.) However, it's so strange that it gets so ugly that I promised, if we got up to $1,500, that I would introduce democracy into the situation. I'm going to put up a poll to settle this question once and for all. And I promise to adhere to whatever the results are without complaint.
