M.I.A. Vegan

Matt's lack of Vegan Quest updates is a little disconcerting.

On one hand, it could be because he's so wrapped up in his vegan conquest and cooking up delectable tofu dishes that he can't find time to add to the blog. On the other hand, maybe it's because he's too busy stuffing his face full of taquitos and his hands are too greasy to type.

And then there's always the possibility his bowels are acting up again and he's been stuck on the pot since Monday, desperately trying to make a deposit.

As for me, I'm still 100% vegan for 10 whole days now. Today was a good one for the belly, as I ordered carry out from Sunflower's Falls Church and ate like a king all day long.

Lunch was my favorite, General Tso's, however marking the fourth time in six days that I've had the dish, I'm might grow sick of it soon. However, for today, it was still great.

I decided to be daring and order a slice of the Avocado & Lemon Pie for dessert. After getting back to the office and taking a look at the pie and I instantly regretted my decision. This was perhaps, the most unappetizing looking pie I've ever seen. It was a dull green color, covered and sitting in a slimy lemon glaze pool. I was extremely hesitant and waited a good long while to take the first bite. So long, in fact, that the pie began to break down before I had even put a fork to it. Closing my eyes and hoping for the best, I took a bite.

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

Though, nothing I would think about ordering at any other stage of my life, it was a suitable substitute during this vegan era. Former Vegan Quest adventurer Mike Hume took a bite and described it as heinous.

Silly non-vegans.

I also picked up an order of Vegetarian Lo Mein for dinner. Another thumbs up.

For dessert, I tried to have a bowl of soy ice cream, though, I won't be trying that again. It was crap. One bite and the rest went the way of the soy pepperoni. My replacement meal was two slices of toast, with Smart Balance Lite vegan margarine, covered in sugar and cinnamon.

And that's it for Day 10.
