Sort-of-Vegan Diet Update #1

The Sort-of-Vegan Diet has been going pretty well considering, with one or two lapeses here and there, but nothing very serious. I've been incredibly proud of the way I have managed to abstain from the meat dishes, as long as there are vegetarian or fish alternatives. Only on two occasions have I found myself with no alternatives at all, so I had no choice but to eat what there was. But two mere occasions within a space of almost a week now, hey it's all good!

The only thing I haven't done is to be updating pictures of my food, which is entirely NOT my fault! I tried uploading a picture the other day, but no matter how many times I tried, it just didn't work, and I haven't tried since then. If it still doesn't work the next time I try, then all I can say is, "TOO BAD!". What else do you expect from me?

It is fun vegetable shopping and trying to think of new ways to cook vegetables. All the cooking I'd done previously entailed a meat of some sort most of the time, so this is all quite new. So today, I went supermarket shopping and bought...

• 2 packages of home-grown organic mushrooms The lady who cooked on the spot made it look so easy. I sure hope I can replicate her methods cos it was quite yummy.
• 1 Japanese pumpkin. Yes you read right. It's ONE WHOLE pumpkin I bought and not just a slice of it. I have to find out new ways of cooking it.
• Japanese Endame beans
• 1 Hawaiian papaya I would have bought more if it was less expensive.
• 4 packs of milk to last me a mere 2 weeks
• 2 ears of sweet corn for me to eat steamed, kernel by kernel. I was eyeing the Japanese ones, but they cost S$8 freaking dollars for ONE EAR!

Well, I just hope the freaking Photo Upload function works pretty soon, or it won't be my fault, you potentially missing all that sexy food porn!
