Month of vegetarianism is over! I kept a logbook of what I ate, mostly to convince myself that I actually managed not to eat meat for a month. The actual result however has been to make me realize that holy shit, I eat nothing but junk food unless someone more cultured (ie Anna's family) is around.
I did not find this particularly hard to do, which is not what I was expecting. It was actually very easy to resist eating meat the few times the temptation struck me. I guess it's not something I particularly miss when I don't have it, although I am always very conscious of my enjoyment when I DO have it. One thing I did learn is that soup pretty much sucks without meat stock of any variety unless it is some sort of chowder or other thicker suspension.
Full log is behind the cut.
