breakfast: Cheerios with banana and soymilk; coffee

By the way, I looked at a box of normal Special K, and Stacey you’re right, it is not vegan… it has whey. The kind I had been buying (the “red berry” variety, with strawberries) is vegan though, at least in this region. Strange.

Heineken, pineapple, orange slices, and melon (might have been cantaloupe, but it was sort of tasteless) at seminar

dinner: raw kale salad (kale massaged in olive oil, Bragg’s, nutritional yeast, onion, avocado); biscuits (click for the recipe) with leftover mushroom gravy

bread
Adapted from this recipe.

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 T baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 c vegetable shortening
  • 1 c soymilk

Combine dry ingredients.  Cut in shortening.  Once the shortening is distributed (mixture should resemble crumbs), add the soymilk.  Toss on floured surface, and roll to about 1/2 inch thick.  Cut circles (a drinking glass works well) of dough, and place on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 450F for 10-12 minutes.

espresso

Jack Daniels and PBR at Zablowski’s ($2 PBRs). Bass Ale (vegan according to Barnivore. This is one of the beers that I heard wasn’t vegan when I first became vegan, so maybe more research should be done) and whiskey+ginger+lime at Zebulon.
