Oh God...something smells good. This happened on Friday when someone heated up pizza. Now, the woman across from me is eating Lord knows what but it smells delicious!
Yes, I could make myself a vegan pizza, but have you tried rice cheese? I made a grilled "cheese" sandwich yesterday and was all excited about it until I bit into my nearly burnt sandwich to find that the "cheese" whose package promised optimal melting didn't melt at all! Plus it tasted gross...like a grainy bad cheese flavored pseudo-paste. Rice cheese FAIL.
This is the cruelty part of being a vegan. It's now about the cruelty of your morals/reasoning getting in the way of eating the food you used to love. All of the old foods you used to love are suddenly more tempting than ever! If I look at food I don't find myself wanting it. It's when I smell it that I start to break down and crave it. Luckily, when the smell goes away so does my craving. Unless of course that craving is chocolate...
I've had a craving for chocolate for two days now. I'll have to suffer through at least tomorrow before I can get out to Whole Foods tomorrow night and pick up some vegan chocolate chips. Then I'm going to eat them ALL, or about 10 chips until I get sick of them.
I tried eating some carob chips (which aren't half bad!) plain the other day. They got really sticky in my mouth, like salt water candy. It was very disconcerting!
ReplyDeleteThat is good to note. WF has a vegan semi-sweet chocolate chip that isn't carob. I was considering getting the carob...now I think I'll pass!
