Well... I've gone and done it... I'm a friggin' Vegan... It just sort of happened I suppose. I had some (lots) turkey at Thanksgiving... Then again at Christmas.... And... That was that... No cheese, no yogurt, no meat, eggs, dairy.... Nothin...

I guess one wouldn't call me 100% vegan, as I use GHEE quite a bit (I LOVE IT!) But, one could also argue that there is no animal protien in GHEE... I also don't mind too terribly if there is a bit 'o' gelatin in an herbal supplement I'm taking... Although I would much rather it be a Vcap (made with vegetable cellulose) I mean... Why wouldn't you? Gelatin is an avoid for me...

Am I departing from the BTD? Hell NO! This is just something that I felt inclined to do... For now... I haven't made any commitment or promise to myself or anyone else... Just test driving it you could say... So far I like it!

Should everyone be a vegetarian/vegan? NO!

Will I always be a vegan/vegetarian? I dunno...

Should YOU be a vegan/vegetarian? You will be if you choose to be. Go with what you're inclined to do.



Honor your every decision my friends. Don't dally on regrets. Don't worry about the future.

Your power, the infinite power of creation, for you all create your own reality, lies in the NOW. Let your regrets and worries fill you, accept them, learn from them, and summarily let them go...

Fill your being with compassion, abundance, love, and happiness. It all good gang...

Stemaed vegetables with an insane amount of seasonings have been the standard fare. Lots of ghee, sesame oil, and olive oil to iad the digestion and provide healthy fats.

Broccoli, carrots, onions, celery, beet and beet greens, kale, mustard greens, leeks, etc.

Lots of miso, occasional servings of tofu and soymilk, occasional tempeh. Trying to stick to fermented soy these days.

Whole grains, sprouted wheat, oats, buckwheat groats, spelt bread, etc. (avoiding the yeast in breads and baked goods lately)

Lots of almonds/almond butter, walnuts, and peanuts/peanut butter, pumpkin seeds (pepitas) the occasional helping of macadamia nut butter, toasted pecans, etc.

Figs, pineapple, green apples, grapefruit and pommelos, lemons and limes, prunes, blueberries, cranberries, etc.

So that's a lot of what I've been eating... I still get the occasional nut or carb binges... Gotta be some self defeating mechanism I've built in to myself... Oh yeah... WINE! Too much red wine as of late...

I'll ahve to iron out these wrinkles...

I seem to do best on high veg/high fat & oil/low grain/low nut & seed days... Why I don't do every day like that is quite beyond me... Hedonism? Gluttony? Chemical imbalance? Malabsorption? Answer: All of the above. I'll fix it though

I'm gonna end it here as I'm tired and you're bored... he he. More later friends. Be well~

NO SPELL CHECK FOR YOU! Good to be back bloggin'
