.
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.
