Be vegan for a year

There are some people that are unabashedly offended by what I choose to eat. My co- workers after a year, have stepped up and decided to work with me. This week for an event, they made sure that there was vegan chili at the chili cook-off. Which went faster than the meaty variety.

There are also people that are fanatically apologetic when I can’t eat something they offer. Some respond as though I have just experienced a death in my family. Others respond as though they or I just found out that I was terminally ill and apologize for it. A small few apologize as though they stuck a foot in their mouth.

In the end, after this experiment… well it may just be a way of life. I will switch back to omniary to prove that it can be done with out discomfort or problems. Or I will find that isn’t true. After a good infection this year and 3 different, or more, antibiotics, I managed to kill off much of the flora in my gut. After a while what flora have multiplied back are best suited for a vegetarian diet

Well, we will see what happens. For now I am still living a vegan lifestyle.

Regardless of what I do in the short term after this experiment, I think in the long term I may be an omnivore that lives as a vegan.

March 4th 2009 will be my one year veganiversary!

What’s kind of neat is that more of my friends have taken to the idea and are trying it out for themselves, not for a year, but consciously they are adopting vegan friendly habits.

Normally I start my, “Vegan for a Month” goal tomorrow, but this time it’s included in my “Vegan for a Year” goal.

Still a vegan!

I had a great sit-down meal with some friends. It happened to be vegan, but it was all about sharing good food and good drink in the company of good friends.

Ethnic food restaurants are, more often than not, vegan friendly. If you are looking for a fantastic selection of vegan foods, most with different flavors, I recommend going out and eating Ethiopian.

There is an Ethiopian breakfast dish which is like French toast made with a base of red chili and tomatoes. This is soaked into day old French baguette, and then fried. If you are in the San Francisco area I recommend the Massawa Restaurant (1538 Haight St. San Francisco, CA 94117) Every time I head to the city, I go there for this dish.

This dish is not what cascaded this entry. I went to an all vegan Ethiopian restaurant and it was wonderful. My love and I had a sampler dish that included a bit of everything they offered. The injera was fantastic, and like many Ethiopian restaurants, they sold the spices that they made the food with.

The best 2 dishes were one’s I had never tried before. One was a sour and hot cabbage dish, and the other was a red lentil dish with a good amount of heat.

just makes sense from every perspective I see….
