Happy World Vegetarian Day

Happy World Vegetarian Day!  It is also the first day of Vegetarian Awareness Month.

With my work schedule and the fact that I am the sole care giver for the two little snots called dogs that I live with for about a week and a half, I didn't get to plan anything super special.  I had leftover seitan for lunch and vegetable spring rolls from the freezer for dinner.

Normally on an occasion such as this I would bake a batch of brownies or cookies.  I find great joy in finding any reason to bake, no matter how frivolous.

Today I had to settle for buying a couple of packages of cookies from Whole Foods to share with the office.  I figured by sticking vegan-friendly sugar under my co-workers' noses, that gave me a perfectly legitimate reason to send out a mass email wishing a Happy World Vegetarian Day (and thereby making everyone aware of the day and the idea).  Nobody complained and only 3 cookies were left by the time the work day was over.  One of the supervisors even said she'd have a vegetarian dinner in honor of the day.  Yippee!

And as I finish this short post, Meat and Potatoes begins on Food Network.  Let's change the channel...
