forgive me father for i have whimmed (and other revelations)

from the book of vegan revelations, chapter 1 verse 1

it's hard to show someone around your city without eating animal products. my dear friend joe, an avid anti-vegan, came for his spring break which was wonderful. tuesday night i decided to take him to kramer books and afterwards, a local spot that combines two of the coolest things ever invented by humans: books and desert. aided by alcohol and the wishes of my guest, i went out on a whim and ate cheesecake. i love cheesecake, but its pretty much the antithesis of vegan. therefor, i have decided that for every day i am not vegan, i will add 3 days of veganism on, post easter. im hoping this measure will be enough to end the drunken temptations

crepes fashioned from the hands of the crepe guy at eastern market make life worth living, i'm not sure i can reconcile this with being vegan. 6 days.

1.3

my friend julie, a vegan of 3 years, told me she does not drink guinness because it uses fish products. this is also a problem as guinness is my favorite beer. having had bad experiences with irish car bombs however, this is easier to give up than crepes. and luckily crepes are not as common as beer. and guinness is not as common as natty. although tom does appear to have a heady crepe maker, and pat does occasionally promote his irish heritage through the thick brown stuff

green tea soy ice cream rocks. so does zen soy chocolate pudding. and homemade sorbet. i came across this super simple recipe (if you could even call it that) and feel the need to pass it along:

2 cups strawberries or the antioxidizing berry of your choice. i used half fresh from whole foods (currently on sale because they're so ripe) and half frozen + 1/2 cup soy milk + 2 packets sugar. blend and freeze. today i had my sorbet and ate it too!
