I imagine that mountain road can get quite treacherous after a winter storm! Your cat scratches still look pretty red. I like a cat with well trimmed claws! What's in that pepperoni? Is it all vegetable? I have eaten regular pepperoni and turkey pepperoni, but I never saw any vegetable pepperoni. Mmmm, I could go for some pizza right now! :) Well, at least your trip was free from snowy and icey roads. I imagine that mountain road can get quite treacherous after a winter storm!

What’s in that pepperoni? Is it all vegetable? I have eaten regular pepperoni and turkey pepperoni, but I never saw any vegetable pepperoni. Mmmm, I could go for some pizza right now! :)

Personally I don't think pepperoni should be called so if it doesn't exist of pork, beef and lots of spices, but what the hell...

There's a whole range of small hot and large unhot peppers, and all that is to find in the dictionary is... "pepper". Right. Silly English language in that respect. We have Paprika, 2 kinds of türkische (Turkish) Paprika, Peperoni and Chili. Oh, and Pfeffer, you know, the spice that's called pepper as well. It's a vegetable. Peperoni is a vegetable; I was just hoping I'd be understood. *cries* <a HREF="http://www.nachttopf.de/cards/peperoni.jpg" rel="nofollow">red Peperoni</A> <a HREF="http://www.marions-kochbuch.de/index-bilder/peperoni.jpg" rel="nofollow">green Peperoni</A> *sighs*

I still don't think that's what she's thinking. She disagrees with your point, but I know her; she can tell the difference between a racist and someone she just disagrees with. Anyway, I hope that doesn't chase you away. But more importantly: the cat is obviously a Force of Darkness. It appears you were lucky to escape with your life.

I thought you had just misspelled pepperoni. ;) From the pictures, those peppers look like they are very hot! If somebody thinks Melantrys is a racist, I think they are wrong!

Evil, definitely at times. Force of Darkness... dunno. I don't think it will chase me away, but I don't know how else to interpret especially the last comment, so I am not a happy person.

She said there is a train of questions she likes to use when presented with that sort of argument, which she claims will lead the other person into realizing the flaw in their logic. Don't know if it would have worked or not; just reporting what she told me. I've seen her engage people she thought of as racist, and it's a whole different ballgame. Anyway, sorry to take up space here on this subject. I was just afraid that if I posted this over there, you might never see it.

The words she put into my mouth were <B>not</B> what I had been saying! And before trying to make me see my mistake... did she consider for a minute that I might have a point? And not just me, other ppl I talked to about this agree with what I said. (I did drop by your blog since then though btw...)
