So, I've converted to a vegan diet. Don't waste your time puzzling over this oddity. This idea's been fluttering about my head for years, & now that I've finally settled it, I won't be going all fuzzy again anytime soon. I know the rest of my family, along with the rest of the world, will still eat meat & eggs & drink milk etc...etc...etc... & I'll have to prepare this stuff forevermore, but finally, I've decided I'm going to do this thing & it doesn't matter if it's fitting or no. I feel great! I'm so happy with myself for making this big girl decision & I'm on my way! "God gave [her] the instinct, and knew what He was doing when He did it, therefore it must have its course; it would be no sound prudence to meddle with His affairs when no invitation had been extended."
~Joan of Arc, Mark Twain (the wisdom of Joan's mother when Joan's fondness for animals had brought them one too many pets which caused her father to "swear a good deal.")
uh huh. haven't you been vegan before? not that i don't think it will last. it's just that going the rest of your lifetime without ice cream really doesn't sound sane. aren't you the one who when in a mood is asked by your husband if he can get you some ice cream?! =)
ReplyDeletei never said it was going to be easy & my ice cream selection will be greatly diminished, but i can still eat coconut milk ice cream! =)anyway one can't dwell on these things you know.
ReplyDeletewell, i guess if you still have coconut ice cream then you'll be ok!
ReplyDeletedon't think i didn't consider that before taking the plunge
ReplyDeleteHow's it going? Are you finding some good recipes?
ReplyDeleteMercedes- I have found some good recipes, but mostly I've been making my same old stuff using vegan substitites (vegan mayo, vegan butter, tofurky, etc...) If you're interested, I have a great muffin recipe, a great choc. cake recipe, & I found a really great website, but I haven't tried any of the recipes yet. I've been making a list of my favorites. We miss you guys. Let's get together soon.
