Day 5 and Day 1: A Perfect Day

Depending on who you talk with this is either day five of "being a vegan" or day 1 (as a result of my Rainbow Cake Watergate yesterday)....At a minimum this is day five of being "basically vegan."

The following items of note occurred today 1) Everything I ate was vegan! 2) I talked with "Ron" about vegan meals I could eat at his establishment and 3) I have finally realized that I can't continue this blog without additional support.

1) Everything I ate was vegan!  Menu: Puffins cereal with soy milk, banana, Lucy sugar cookies (vegan cookies that are now sold at Starbucks--remember the media coverage when Princess Di and/or MJ died--Starbucks selling Lucy cookies is getting the same level of attention in the vegan world), Coffee with soy milk, Chipolte black bean tacos with guac, a pear and dinner (TBD).  Yeah!  It only took approximately seven days to get it right...

2) Ron: We are planning a little lunch outing for next week at a restaurant that focuses on local sources for food and sustainable options--despite this "Ron" let me know that they don't have anything vegan on their menu.  It turns out that they can "put some lettuce on a plate" for me.  I think that he (like someone else I know) might have a cheeky since of humor.  I'll let you know.  I might have to pick up some pine cones on my way to the restaurant to eat.

3)  Additional support needed:  I realized that I can't continue with this blog until I get an I-phone.  For example...
Running late for work when you are a vegan means that your lunch bag looks something like avocado (not a container of sliced avocado, an actual avocado), a banana, a red pepper, two pieces of Ezekiel bread (no container, just thrown in the bag),  and a family size bag of walnuts.

Having an i-phone would enhance my ability to effectively report my experiences.  Steven (my husband and therefore "an active member of the decision making unit for my family" (saying it over and over to myself...) thinks that due to the fact that I lost four cell phones last year that I am disqualified from getting an i-phone.  This is a serious journalism endeavor--I need resources.
