Green Tomatoes," Flagg told CNN, "I stopped acting and I went through a bad financial period and I almost lost a house and I was living very close to the bone. And yet I found out I was happier than I'd ever been because my priorities were straight and I was doing something I loved."

BUT my research for a vegetarian option brought me to
this web site for a new product. A synthetic, non perishable, reusable gelatin-like printing plate! For me the big drawback initially is the limited size. Then there will be the test to see if the results can match a true gelatin print... just placed my order, so we'll soon see~ No Go~ Looks like gelatin, feels sort of like gelatin,
