Most vegetarians that I know are kinda chubby...I suspect they munch on "funny brownies" :mrgreen: (perhaps) a bit too enthusiastically.

I'm not skinny but I just got back from a run in the mountains, so hopefully one day......
Right now, I've got some red beans, brown rice, corn, carrots, and tofu sausage in the rice cooker. While it cooks I'll go to the kitchen and practice Arbans.
Not so into the brownies, but I've got a couple of good bottles of Cabernet up here....
I'll go out and see if I can't hunt down a bush though.
Peace.

I would so do this with you, except I have already hit my brick wall of Arbans that I have been stuck at for about a month :(

Are we talking the original treble clef cornet Arban's or one of the bass clef versions. Will you be playing the same fingerings as a cornet player or in effect transposing the book - i.e. when you get to the Carnival of Venice which is in F major in treble clef (Concert Eb) and you're playing on CC tuba will you be playing in F or Eb major?
