Monday evening roundup

Ah, the age-old debate over when it's okay to blur the line between fiction and non-fiction. Making the distinction is not as easy as it sounds, but when there's doubt, I'd err on the side of calling it fiction, even when it's based on truth. I could not imagine a non-vegetarian wedding or other event. A wedding, especially, should reflect who you are. "Compromising" would only perpetuate the myth that plant-based food isn't enough. I actually just went to a friend's house for brunch, where another friend announced--without asking--that she'd bring the meat. It struck me as tacky as hell, but the hostess didn't mind, so who am I roll my eyes.
