Food for Thought
Lots of good stuff going on around here. I've cleaned the apartment a bit. It smells nice now, like the orange from my spray stuff and the fabreeze stuff. Oh and I changed the wallflower air freshener thing in my room to sweet pea. Yeah, it smells really good now.
I tried a new recipe tonight. It's kinda like a "fried chicken" thing, but with tofu instead of chicken. It actually turned out to be pretty good. I also made mashed sweet butternut squash. It was good as well. Oh, and I mad smoothies tonight. They were from a mix, but still turned out to be pretty good. Not the best smoothie ever, but good none-the-less.
I made my first trip to Dierburgs in O'Fallon tonight. Wow! I love it there. They had an entire isle of veggie stuff, not including the other veggie stuff in different places of the store, and a salad bar. I was very impressed. I was like Stuart at a Star Wars Convention. Ok, maybe not quite, but still I was in awe.
My V-day is one week from tomorrow. That would be my vegetarian anniversary on October 22. I'm not sure if I'm going to do anything even remotely special. It'll be 7 years now. It got me thinking about what an impact Rachel had on my life. If I hadn't have known her back then, would I have tried it at all? What would I think of it? Ya know, I mean my world changed when I opened my eyes and saw what I was doing. I'm so grateful that I did have that experience. Sure, it's made life a little harder, but I feel a lot better about myself when I think about it. 7 years without meat is an accomplishment. I'm strong, healthy, and overall happy.
Well, I've got to be up to observe early tomorrow. It should be fun. They have a half day and they have a school wide activity planned. It's my last day at this school, then I'll be at another in a week.
