Scribbles and Scrambles ~ Thirty Day Vegan...Day 4

Four days Vegan and I have no issues with feeling deprived.

My poor husband has
had the flu, so no doubt, the only deprivation he's feeling is the three days he lost to his personal plague. It was cute because he'd come out of his feverish fog and stumble around for food other than what we had for meals and actually ask if said item was on the approved list. So he managed to be a Vegan Zombie over the weekend.

The birthday part
ies were cake. (or cake-free in our case.) 24 and I left the sick man home and attended. But first we ate lunch at home. I carried Larabars in my purse in case someone needed to pull me back from the edge.

We have a menu for this week. And a plan. I'll tell you, I'm looking forward to Farmer's Market season, though. And am so glad Trader Joe's came to the metro area. You might want to buy stock if you are looking to invest in a company bec
ause I'm probably singlehandedly keeping them in the black.

Today we had Vegan Naan Quinoa pizza. I need to tweak the recipe for the Naan and will post that when I get the buggar perfected.

I also have been working on my manuscript like a good girl. Three days in I've written or rewritten two scenes and edited a few more. Nice feeling of accomplishment.

And we unearthed
the Kombucha. And unearth is a good word because this little nasty mother is other-worldly. The Kombucha tastes fine....think raspberry vinegar shots and you'll have a good idea of what we are drinking. If Rob ends up on antibiotics then his body will thank him for the extra Kombucha probiotics. The Kombucha mother is, seriously, one of the most disgusting things I have ever encountered. It is solid and gelatinous and waves from the big glass jar as it eats the sugar in the tea preparing another batch.

I looked for quinoa in the grocery store couldn't find! What section is this in???? And why no cake? Because it has eggs in it? Are you doing whole grains? Fruits? Veggies? and that's about it??? More explanation needed for this reader. Please. And thank you!

Okay....are you making tea from boogers!!??? EWWWW!!!

You're not convincing be to even consider veganism.

Jarodophilus makes a quality probiotic that is a whole lot easier to stomach! I've taken it for years and KNOW it works!
