Temporary Vegan - Slow Start

Okay so a little while ago I thought it would be a brilliant idea to go vegan for the month of January.

Then I realized that there are many incidental occurrences of non-vegan items in otherwise innocent looking food items, like many breads. So I decided to amend it to "not picky vegan."

Then I got sick.

When I get sick, I crave pizza. The reason for this is that I lose my appetite, then by the time I need to eat, I REALLY need to eat. The fastest way to acquire food is by ordering it. I ordered a medium Black Olive Pizza (shut up. I like black olives, and having worked at Pizza Hut, I know what I'm in for). A friend of mine who has worked for Pizza Hut for some time did point out, however, that what is actually on the pizza may not legitimately qualify as cheese. So aside from that Pizza (and the cinnamon breadsticks with creamy dipping frosting, which is in no way vegan), I have stuck to the whole temporary vegan thing pretty well.

Now that I'm actually eating meals, today's lunch has consisted of Patel's Lentil Curry with brown rice tossed in. Survey says: tasty!

For the record, my actual January resolution is to stick to vegan wherever possible, and vegetarian wherever not possible (or convenient.) I'm not giving up bread because there might be an eggwash, for example.
