Thanks for the comment…more than anything, my girlfriend cooks for me and she was a veggie (will still enjoy cheese, eggs and other dairy) :)

Now that I’ve been at it a while though I don’t really want to go back.

However, being a straight up veggie here is more difficult than in Northern California.

Tofu is rare, however, we get it delivered to the house each week by a Japanese lady who makes it in her house for us (some other clients i imagine) and the Japanese embassy….

The *really good* news, if you’re a meat eater, is that the meat is even more ridiculously inexpensive (as is the higher end cheese in the street market — especially when compared to “whole foods” type pricing)

This is the main reason we want to relocate to UY. Is there a particular reason you are vegetarian or just for the health benefits? Here in the North East US, it is too expensive to be a vegetarian as all the good produce is ridiculously expensive, and the organic stuff is only for the rich elite.
