As of January 1st, Diane, Deb and I all decided to go vegan for a couple of months. I&#8217;ve been a vegetarian since 1976.. well.. actually a pescatarian.. somewhere in the past 30 years I started eating fish occasionally..\u00a0 but for the most part I&#8217;m veggie.. Every year for the past 3 I&#8217;ve spent a month or so as a vegan.. that means no meat&#8230; no fish, no eggs, no dairy.. I love doing it because it makes me more mindful of what I&#8217;m eating.. .. i&#8217;m not militant about it.. I eat sushi in Japan because it would have been hard not to.. and I did accidentally eat a piece of mozzarella at a fancy dinner in NYC 5 weeks ago. I practice..&#8217;don&#8217;t ask don&#8217;t small&#8217;.. if I don&#8217;t know it&#8217;s not vegan.. I can assume it is.. .. Also.. I ate a piece of pizza at a meeting 2 weeks ago ..<\/p>\n<p>For the most part i love eating vegan.. I feel lighter and healthy.. Diane&#8217;s a wonderful cook.. so there&#8217;s no trouble with variety.. &#8230;though I do recall eating my weight in hummus every week\u00a0 ..<\/p>\n<p>As Spring started to come on. though. I started to crave more portien.. I started eating soy stuff again.. but secretly.. desperately&#8230; I was craving cheese&#8230; there.. I said it.. I missed cheese. I never ate much of it.. but I mss it.. I miss feta on slads.. parmesian on pasta&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>so.. today.. I decided to go back to my more relaxed veggie waves.. I shopped aroudn for a way to break my fast.. Paul. Eduardo and I stopped in Hartford on the way back to NY to have dinner with Paul&#8217;s friend Pavan..\u00a0\u00a0 We went to a restaurant across from pavan&#8217;s.. and there&#8230; I confess.. I ordered home made macaroni and cheese&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>and it was delicious&#8230; (forgive me father for I have sinned)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>nite all.. nite sam<\/p>\n<p>-me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK.. so I fell off the wagon today&#8230; .and I fell hard.
