On Saturday I emerged out of less than 5 hours of sleep to set up my junk and try to push it onto other people in the hopes I would make a little bit of money.
Yes, I was a yard sale queen. But it was more like flea market queen and I didn’t like my first-time experience.
My mother, my sister, Batman and I finally got to the location late, because of course we “slept in.” By the time we got there, there were people ALREADY rummaging through stuff — piles and piles of stuff.
I learned a few things today, after I encountered many people: THEY ARE CHEAP! THEY ARE STINGY!
50 States, 50 Vegan Dishes: New Jersey

Oh, Jersey. You don’t represent yourself well. Look at the MTV show Jersey Shore.
I hate that show. It is most offensive because I am Italian, born and raised. My great-grandfather Silvio immigrated in the early 1900s to pave a better life. And then these … people (for lack of a better word) disgrace the ethnicity.
I also grew up with the joke, “Let’s bomb Jersey and give Pa. a beach.” LOL. (Sorry to all those from New Jersey.)
I will say this, though, they know how to do french fries (and apparently tanning and clubbing.)
When I saw the words “disco fries” on my list, I was intrigued. I LOVE fries. No, I L-O-V-E fries. I loved getting cheese fries when I was younger, and I bet I would still love them now. And I have never had gravy fries, let alone CHEESE, gravy fries!
The mystery of Wonder Vegan
Who is Wonder Vegan? Is she that strong Amazonian who wants to spread peace & save our world, with her lasso of truth and killer muscles? Well, you'll have to figure that out on your own.
