Days 4-7

Massive slack on the blogging portion of the experiment, but it all felt like repeating myself since I've been incessantly discussing it with my sister throughout!

Week 1 has taught me a lot already. First of all, being vegan and NOT fundamentally changing the way you eat just does not work. If you just go out and buy vegetarian/vegan versions of all the things you'd eat anyway, how is this better in any way?

I'm eating too many corn chips and peanut butter sandwiches, and I am already _done_ with salads for lunch. Best new lunch so far has been my makeshift vegan "tabouli", which was quinoa, tomatoes, squash, onions and chickpeas, with a mint spice blend and a drizzle of that amazing orange-infused olive oil. 

That grocery shopping I was talking about a week ago, where I couldn't see how that would possibly be enough food? Excellent lesson there, too.  It was more than enough, and I actually have loads of leftovers that I'm working through before I go to restock.
