Meatless

Lenten season will be ending in approximately 48 hours. Finally, I can eat meat again. I made a commitment to be a pseudo-vegetarian for 40-something days.. and surprisingly, it wasn't too bad. I did succumb to temptation three times. Tsk. Pork sisig, orange chicken and Chickenjoy are my downfalls. Hayayay.. how can i say no? It has been nine months since I had these Pinoy yumminess in my system. No regrets. Hehe.

I still think I did a pretty good job. Two months of mostly subsisting on soy protein, tofu and beans.. I must say, I didn't think it was possible. I might just convince myself to do this every year. It'll be my Lenten thing.

Being picky with food actually felt pretty cool. It kind of builds character.. it made me a little bit more interesting as a person, I think. But c'mon, how many people do you know walk into a restaurant and request for veggie meat?? Not a lot, right? According to my google search, only 4% of the American population are vegetarians. So to be counted as part of that little group, that minority, makes me feel a wee bit special. Even if it's just for forty days. Haha.

And maybe when I turn 40, I'll turn vegan for real. Maybe.
