Yeah! As far as I know, they taste pretty much like real pepperoni, but they don't crisp up much/at all. (Since I think the real flavor in pepperoni is the spice mixture anyway.) But maybe don't take my word for it since it's been years since I had real pepperoni.

parker624

yes and veggie bacon.  its not bad!

mandysmear

i like veggie pepperoni.  i get it in the section where you get tofu, veggie "chicken" nugs, soy burgers, etc.. and asian foods.  my grocery store is weird. 

i think they brand is st.ives or some crap like that.

Blasphemous!!

Edit: Nothing against vegetarians! I tried to be a vegetarian for a while (just a lifestyle choice) and bacon is what made me give in. I lasted 2 years! Hehe.

parker624

I Know!  But since turning veggie real bacon is the only meat I miss eating.  veggie bacon seems to be a good substitute, or good enough.

georgia_bride09

I will have to look for veggie pepperoni next time I'm at the store. Whenever we make pizza, rather than buy chicken and onions and peppers and mushrooms, it's easier to just eat pepperoni like my H. But at least if I was eating veggie pepperoni, I'd feel a little better about it.

























Mmmmm. Pizza.

kikibaby

I have a friend who calls herself a vegetarian, but she still eats pepperoni.

She's a curedporkaterian.

WildRumpus

Sweet, I never got one of these when I joined!
hey.  what is up. 
how old is your fi.  He's 23
do you guys live together. Yep
what do you do guys do for a living. I'm in school and working as a nanny 2 days a week. He sells furniture, which isn't what he wants to be doing with his degree, but it's paying the bills and giving him business experience
 what's your dogs name. Oxford, Ox for short
 do you sleep in past 9 on the weekends. Very rarely. FI leaves for work at 8:30, so I usually get up when he does.
Favourite vegetable of all time. Hmmm...probably cherry tomatoes
where do you live. Right now, Springfield, Missouri. I'm originally from Central Illinois though
  how long have you been here. 2 years maybe? I joined when my sister got engaged
 you never changed your picture for the longest time.  so now i have a hard time believing that your first sig photo is you.  i do believe you.  i just can't believe it.  were you like 12 when that picture was taken or something. Haha, close. I was 18. I had a friend who was just starting out as a photographer, and she needed some practice w/ couples.
 any tattoos you should be telling us about.  what about piercings. I have a heart tattoo on my hip. I got it when I was 18 and really wish that I had waited until I had something of some sort of significance to tattoo. Oh well. It's going to look super cute when I get pregnant. I have my ears double pierced, but never wear earrings.
  how long you going ot costa rica for.  what do you guys plan on doing while you're there - excursion wise.  i can't make up my mind as to what we should do/where we should go.  my gut tells me italy.  i think we're going to meet with a travel agent to discuss our plans... and see if they have anything to offer us for advice.  i think my sister has a friend who is a travel agent.  i'd love to be one.  they don't make very good money though.  so, yeah that's out.  but think of all the discounts on flights and stuff.  We would like to go for 10 days, but we'll see. I know that I want to go snorkeling, and Rick really wants to go ziplining. I also want to see the cloud forrest and the volcanoes. Italy's on my list...I have a HUGE list of places that I want to go. There's no way we'll ever accomplish it, but it's nice to think about. I always thought being a flight attendent would be cool, at least for a while.
what's for dinner tonight. California Pizza Kitchen's Margarhita pizza
 what do you and your fi do for fun.
Together, we like to go to movies, play the Wii, play with the pup, and travel. Seperately, I like to read, watch ridiculous amounts of HGTV, and cook. He works a lot, but he enjoys swimming, reading, and playing WoW when he has time.
 do you guys enjoy going for dinner at a fancy restaurant or just a local pub for beer and wings. Local pub, all the way. I feel really awkward out at fancy restaurants. We have a great sports bar right down the street from us with daily drink specials and amazing wings.
  if you had to order something from subway right now what would you get.  i just had subway for lunch.  i had turkey and ham.  toasted with all veggies.  it was good.  i must say it was a great choice.  i wanted to have chinese, but i thought i should be healthier and eat subway. I would probably have to go w/ tuna on whole wheat, with pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, green peppers, and cucumbers. I'm not a big lunch meat person. The only other sandwhich I'll eat from Subway is the meatball marinara. I love Chinese. It was our Sunday night go to meal while we watch True Blood, but we're both trying to get into better shape, so no more Chinese.
  when the heck is your wedding anyway.  i feel like you've been engaged forever.  on october 2nd it's going to be 3 years since i was engaged.  crazy how time flies.  in november it'll be 6 years that h and i have been together.  how long have you and your fi been together. We're getting married June 4 of next year. It seems like we've been engaged forever because we have. We got engaged January 24 2009! We've been together for 6 and a half years. That just seems crazy to me everytime I think about it.
 do you like pizza.  what kind of pizza do you like.  lately i've been making pita pizza.  lots of veg, veggie pepperoni, on a pita shell... very good and better for you - diet wise.  plus it's super easy to make.  my new favourite thing. 
I love pizza. If I'm choosing, we get ham and pineapple, or something a little more creative like spinach, mushroom, and feta. My very favorite pizza is spinach deep dish from Gino's East in Chicago. So good! Rick always picks the meat lovers, which means I pick everything but the ham off. Sausage and pepperoni give me heart burn. I have really bad acid reflux. Your pita pizza sounds good, I'll have to keep that in mind. My dad made me grilled pizza last time I visited. It had basil, red peppers, and feta cheese. YUM.
whats for dinner.  i'm  going to make a veggie pasta sauce with spaghetti squash.  boring, but i have tonnes of veg to use up.  best way... that or stir fry.  and i'm not into stirfry. Probably pizza. I may change my mind and make baked fish instead. But probably pizza, since Rick works til 8.
  did you hear i went to fargo.  it was pretty much the best weekend of all time.  I did hear that, and saw the pictures. I'm insanely jealous. Berryholly lives in Springfield, but I've never met her. And Brie lives pretty close, but I don't think we would get along IRL. It would be an awkward gtg.
did you drink lots of water today.  i didn't. Me either. I've only had coffee today, and had alcohol pretty much all weekend. We went to the lake of the ozarks with my sister and brother in law. I rode a waverunner for the first time, which was a lot of fun.
  the weekend always throws me off my schedule.  i hate that. Me too. And school starts tomorrow. I'm just ready to be finished.
 you have 30 minutes.

1 minute over!

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Parker, if you have Trader Joes, try veggie soy-rizo. They have it in other places, too, I just know Trader Joes has it. It's vegetarian chorizo (mexican sausage). And like pepperoni, the real "flavor" is in the spices. It's SO good. My FI loves it and he's not a vegetarian.

WildRumpus

Dangit Leah, I tried! Stupid slow apartment internet!

mandysmear

excellent!  sorry i was mia.  my stupid job got in the way.  haha.  dude, you still have another fricken year!  that's going to be a 2.5 year engagement.
PS. you got engaged while i was on my mini-moon in lake louise/banff. 

MissIntentional

JILL, i love your bio. i can't wait to see your wedding pictures.

MissLeahM

I think your answers made up for the 1 minute lapse.. They were hardy, and informative.

WildRumpus

Mandy, I know! Ridiculously long engagement FTW. Realistically, we could have done it sooner, but my mom's only "request" I guess you could say is that we waited until I was finished with school. She got married RIGHT out of high school, and it imploded pretty quickly. She was worried that I would get married, get pregnant, and never finish my degree. Thanks for the vote of confidence there, Mom.

And Miss Intentional, thank you. I have all these ideas in my head, so we'll see how it comes together. I want to see more of your pictures! The colors in your siggy pic are fantastic.

mandysmear

well if you guys live together and i assume are not virgins, really what's the rush?

pumpkinpumpkin

Also - Mandy. By saying she looks different now than she used to - you're implying that she's ugly. I should have waited for FFF to say this.

WildRumpus

Exactly. There really isn't any. And I'm so indecisive, it's actually been a good thing. I planned 2 or 3 different weddings before we settled on all of this.

mandysmear

haha, yeah i changed my mind about a lot of things.  but, in the end loved the day.

Just saw this Meri.  I LOVE the veggie chorizo.  I've made this awesome egg casserole with it.  Non veggies didn't even know the difference. 

I also love the TJ's meatless meatballs.

For the record, Mandy, I'm really jealous I never get one of these quizzes.  I don't think I ever formally introduced myself to the board. . .
