[meatless monday] week 1
Jan. 3rd, 2011 08:18 pmTrying out Meatless Monday -- not really a resolution, but more of a "how long can I do something every week" deal.
Today was tricky. I woke up late so all I had for breakfast was my coffee, and when it's lunchtime and you're starving, nothing seems so good as a BLT or a chicken parmesan sandwich. I figured that going to the Indian restaurant, I would get more chances to eat vegetarian; I ordered pakoras and bhindi subji (stir fried okra) with rice. Dinner ended up being a grilled cheese sandwich.
I think for next week, if I'm to continue successfully, I would need to cook/prepare everything ahead. I actually don't mind going mostly vegetarian, it's just that it's easier to be a carnivore/omnivore and if I can take the easier way out, I usually do.
