… I couldn’t help it.
These pants were just so damn sexy, and made my butt look AMAZING
You do NOT want to know how much they were.
I will post a picture of my butt when I get them back. The alterations were included. So they should be, for the price!!!
I don’t actually know Amanda, who keeps the most phenomenal food blog I’ve read, but I feel as though I do. She’s a good friend of my friend Erin.
This blog is amazing. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Once you read it, you’ll go back. I promise.
So I’m up to the 8th day of my veganism. Originally, this was just supposed to be a trial: to add some vegan recipes to my repertoire and hopefully move further along the toward the Vegan side of the Vegan-Carnivore Continuum. But after 8 days of only eating Vegan food, I feel great. Energetic, healthy, really, really good. I’m spending less at the grocery store, while eating more, and my skin, seriously, has NEVER been this clear.
So I think I’m going to keep going, at least for a while. The very real environmental benefits of eating a plant-based diet are significant, and the personal benefits- which, really, are what are either going to keep me on the wagon or send me flying off it- are also pretty substantial.
That being said, though, I don’t think I’ll ever transition to being a full vegan. If I go to someone’s house, and they’ve made me a nice dinner with meat in it, it would be completely wasteful, not to mention counterproductive, not to eat it. The energy is already spent, no use letting it go to waste.
Oh, and occasionally, if I want to cook something REALLY nice with animal products, I think that’s ok too. Ultimately, I’m doing this to attempt to lower my carbon footprint, so the occasional cake is hardly going to send my carbon ratings off the charts.
Sydney should not be this cold! It really shouldn’t.
Now I like the cold as the next former-pacific-northwest-US-resident; however, we are just not equipped to deal with the cold in this fair land. There’s a reason it’s the SUNBURNT country.
On the upside, hopefully there won’t be too many people at the markets at lunch…
Ok, so Saturday morning, all I wanted were pancakes. They’re such a Saturday thing. So I decided to try this recipe:
The end product was fantastic: yummy, vegan pancakes, that were light and fluffy and not at all rubbery.
By the way, Bonsoy is the greatest invention. EVER.
So, I decided to try to eat Vegan for a few weeks, just to see what it’s like. So far, so good. Dhal may actually be my favourite thing ever. I’ve gone 3 days so far, and I’m really enjoying it.
Tomorrow, I’m going to try to make these Vegan pancakes.
… it’s been a few days. Busy week at work and all that have prevented me from blogging.
But I promise to be super-active for the rest of the day.
My wonderful yoga instructor Alison is back! Hooray, hooray. So I’m back after missing two weeks. And I’m starting to think I’d like to do teacher training. You have to practise for at least a year first, so I won’t be able to do it til October next year, but I’m excited by the prospect.
Sadly, though, after missing two weeks, I’m struggling with Bakasana.
But last night’s class was fantastic. There were only three of us there, and all are regulars, so she did a bit of a tricky class. It was amazing.
1. Sourdough. You already know all about that.
2. Lime and Lady Grey Tea biscuits. They are tasty, buttery morsels of tangy goodness. Absolutely to-die-for. If I do say so myself. Rosie liked them so much, she went home and made her own.
3. Chicken Soup Real chicken soup. With a whole chicken. Oh, it was so, so yummy… it made about 10 litres, and I froze a heap of it, which is still keeping me in lunches.
4. Chicken and Sundried tomato ravioli. Baked chicken, mixed with basil and sundried tomato, wrapped in fresh ravioli. Oh, it was blissful. Truly, truly blissful.
5. REAL Chai. Chai made on the stove, boiled, with proper Chai spices and the best soy milk known to man. Oh, it was good. It was so, so good.
