Kale and Potato soup!

Michelle makes the best soups. Then I eat them.

Sick Day

I took my first sick day in years today. I have a terrible cold and can't taste or smell, thus I stayed home. I made some very spicy, to combat the nasal congestion, chipotle tacos with tofu and kale. They were extremely tasty, and satisfying.

The one thing I've really noticed this year is that when I am hungry, which seems to be rare, it's hard to feel full. I eat all sorts of food, but never satiated. It's quite the strange feeling. The feeling usually goes away after a few weeks, but it's really messing with my head right now.

Also fitting, I'm reading The Hunger Games. It's quite the captivating read.

Morning Kale Smoothie

It's delicious, and nutritious.

Making Sauerkraut

It won't be done for a few weeks, but I thought it would be a good time to start.

Lunch!

So tasty!

Another beginning

And so it begins. Another season of Lent is upon us. This year the vegan is similar, but the intentional spirituality is, well, more intentional. I'm pretty excited, but a little nervous.

We celebrated Fat Tuesday in style pancakes and bacon and butter and coffee. Then we partook in a beer launch party by my favorite knife store. It sounds strange, but it was delicious. The knife store owner wanted a signature beer, so he collaborated with a local brewery and produced the Tongue Cutter IPA. It was pretty darn delicious.

I have an epic smoothy and some toast for breakfast, gonna ease into the vegan with as much variety and as much volume of vegetables I can. I've also acquired a book on wild fermentation, and it has vegan recipes which make me excited to try and experiment.

Thanks for reading.
