The woman I am currently crazy about was a vegetarian for a year until I started dating her. As is the case with most vegetarians she had never eaten properly prepared meat only commercially packaged or otherwise abused flesh.
My dad was kind of a pool shark and had a Frank Sinatra Dean Martin thing going on. I've always been fascinated by the fifties because of him. There was a hip cool anything-goes atmosphere back then but looking good was still a priority.
