Untitled, Again

As of January 3rd, I’ve attempted to enter the world of sobriety. Quitting, drinking alcohol cold turkey, has not prevailed, but perseverance, understanding and optimism will help to succeed. Side note: I have not eaten cold turkey or any other meat in nine years as of today:) I quit smoking cigarettes 12+ years ago on the second attempt. Perfection is imaginary…. vegan bacon? Anyone? I’ve bettered myself in various ways over the years. It’s not impossible, but it takes will power and strivability (just made that word up:) I’m just trying to motivate and document myself while trying to motivate another person to try something difficult to better their life.

This is a huge lifestyle change, but I’m a person whom still NEEDS to eat:) I may not always eat Vegan. I do always eat Vegetarian. Post, in the future, might consist of a little dairy. Let me know what ya think:)

I saw this photo on instagram, this morning. It influenced me to blog my food creation from last night. As harsh as temperature changes may be, natural nature beauty is everywhere. I recommend looking up and following this individual on instagram:)

A Ⓥegan Protein Wrap was smothered with Veganaise. After smotherization, Arugula decorated this in-the-making edible artwork. Daiya “Mozz” completed this simplistic and light concept. Baked carefully. Consumed dangerously. An abundance of char was enjoyed.

Creamy Linguine w/ Cucumber

In light Olive Oil, Garlic, Carrot, Celery and Onion were panfried. The fry was seasoned with Pepper before adding Corn Meal, Flour and Sugar. A Ⓥ Bouillon cube (‘chicken’) was added, also. White Wine Vinegar was next.

Almond Milk, CAPERS, Cayenne Pepper, Garden Tomatoes, Mushroom and Cucumber helped intensify this pasta with the almost al dente Linguine that finished cooking in the Ⓥ creaminess:)

I hope everyone had a Hoppy International Pizza & Beer Day:)
