What Omnivores Take For Granted ...

1. Eating Cake - Last night I went to a party. They had birthday cake. I haven't had birthday cake in almost 4 years.

2. Buying Candy Bars - I spent 10 minutes in Walgreens looking for something chocolatey to eat. Nothing!

3. Pizza - Most pizza has butter and cheese on it. Not vegan friendly.

4. Going Out To Dinner - if someone invites me to dinner, I have to already decide that I'm going to eat plain baked potato or salad. No one ever recommends eating at a vegan or vegetarian restaurant. Everyone eats steak, chicken and fish in front of you, making you lose your appetite anyway.

5. Eating Soup - I love soup, especially on the rainy days Miami has been having. Soup has either beef broth, chicken stock, cream, milk, eggs, butter ... etc.

6. Cookies - Wild Oats has some Vegan Cookies that are to die for. Also, I just discovered Famous Amos makes their own version of OREOS ... so good! Most people can pick up a box of cookies and go to town without worries. They should worry but they don't.

Ah well, nobody made me become a vegan, Just wanted you to know ... it ain't easy being GREEN baby ... but
I wouldn't change it for the world.;-)

Raw Vegan Induction - Day 3 & 4

RAW VEGAN UPDATE:
Inga Ambrosia has had a love affair with a pineapple. Get your minds out of the gutter. I haven't bought a whole pineapple in like ... ever! I'm used to the canned stuff or whatever fruit salad concoction I'm eating at the time. Anyway, two days ago, I started eating green apples which are so good this month. Ventured into the naval oranges arena. Bought some organic bananas that haven't quite ripened yet. The strawberries are all gone.

Have a nice weekend and try to drink less alcohol, the music sounds so much better. L8A ;-)
