Day 1 - Denise

Thanks for the tip Steph, I love indian food! But does anyone out there know if they use cream or butter in the richer dishes??

My first day was also successful! I had my "Last Supper" last night at Whalesbone (a pretty much fish-only restaurant) to commemorate the "end" of my meat eating days.

However, I must report that my first day was not as easy and smooth as I naively thought it would be. I went to my local Bridgehead this morning, as usual, and ordered a large dark, as usual, and put a big sploosh of cream in, as usual...(!) Luckily, I realized the error of my ways before I sat down and returned to the counter for a new cup with soy milk...boy I got some weird stares and had to explain my new veganism to not look like a crazy lady (not sure if that tactic worked, but at least I didn't make a boo-boo so soon in the game!)

THEN I discovered that replacing another staple in my diet, butter on toast, with margarine on toast was not going to work either (whey is a milk product?!) but made the lovely discovery that hummus on toast is awesome! So all-in-all a learning experience, but a good first day, I think. On to the next!
