Vegetarian

I've been vegetarian for 9 days now. I started the day after World Vegetarian day and have been going strong since. What motivated me to go vegetarian was seeing the film Food Inc. and the fact that many people in my tower were going vegetarian. My original goal was to do it for a week. Then I extended that to ten days. Perhaps tomorrow night I will extend it to a month? We shall see. Anyway, last Friday I, along with a few fellow members of the Green Tower held a vegetarian dinner (though the dishes were actually Vegan). We made spicy potatoes, cabbages & peas over rice and garbanzo bean burgers. I must say, the garbanzo bean burgers were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I got the recipes here: http://www.vrg.org/nutshell/nutshell.htm#nut

Nonsense Dinner

My dinner tonight was such a mix things that don't really belong together. I couldn't decide what I wanted. I made roasted chicken and garlic flavored rice pilaf, spicy shrimp (though it did not turn out as spicy as I intended) and tortilla chips with salsa and cheddar cheese baked on top (this was really yummy and oh so easy).
