May 28th and 29th

Well, I'm just a little past the half way point.  It is looking like I'm running out of time.  I have way too many ideas and things I want to try before my veggie quest is done.

I don't feel any different, I don't think there are any changes in me mentally or physically.  Some of the guys at Matador think I'm a little cranky because I can't eat pork.  Meh.... It's not really a challenge any longer.

My "weekend" had a little too much yard work and not quite enough cooking.  The yard is looking great, so I'm not complaining.  Anyhow, for lunches, I took the easy way out.  Tofurkey sandwiches.

This little fellow is a grilled cheese tofurkey mess of love.  I started off by frying up the tofurkey slices in some olive oil.  A little butter on the bread then I built the masterpiece.  Bread, Swiss cheese, tofurkey, pickles, American cheese, tofurkey, Swiss Cheese, tofurkey, American cheese, bread.  Layer upon layer of love.  A side of potato salad and a few extra pickles and I was a happy camper.

I gobbled up a spicy "chicken" boca burger for lunch today.

I fried it on a flat top in a touch of olive oil, a tasty slice of melted Swiss cheese and some more of Grandma's pickles.  It was great.  A side of BBQ chips and some potato salad made things complete.

Sorry there wasn't anything more exciting on the menu this weekend.  My plan was to try out all of the 'store bought' stuff right away then try and work some magic to jazz it up.  I was hoping that once I had a good feel for what was available then I could get the creative juices flowing.  This little veggie plan may take more time than I thought.  I don't really plan on staying vegetarian for more than my 30 days, but I think I may need to keep trying new stuff once my tour of veggie land is over.

 More to come tomorrow.
