it's monday and Jared is at work. poor guy. our apartment is a wreck. i guess i need to start on one end until its all clean seeing as my new job is housewife or apartment wife. whatever.
i have decided to officially become vegan. i have been reading Vegan Freak by Bob Torres and Jenna Torres. they suggest going "cold tofu" instead of slowly stopping eating the things that were holding me back from becoming a full vegan. for me it is cheese. it was easy not eating meat, eggs or drinking milk . . . but cheese was my crutch, oh and traditional mayo (which has eggs). they said that by eating a little bit of cheese (or mayo), i would essentially be giving it more power since i would look forward to having cheese and never give it up fully. i was hesitant at 1st but once i threw away the traditional mayo and the grated parmesan from the fridge, i knew i was ready. i keep thinking how much better my mind, soul and body is feeling.
it has been so fulfilling cooking in new ways. despite what people think, it is super easy eating vegan at home. eating out is another challenge. good thing Jared and I know how to cook.
