So, I have now been vegan, almost properly, for over a month. It begins to feel normal, and hasn't caused any major problems. I have felt awkward, for example refusing cakes people have lovingly made, this feels rude, and i have had to continue to taste test some of the vegetarian foods i have cooked at Micheal House.
A fun new social network, www.volentia.com which is for vegetarians and vegans is helpful and provides links with other veggies and vegans.
The funniest answer i have received so far, when asking if any cakes were vegan in a cafe we love visiting was 'no, they all contain chocolate'.
Quite apart from the butter and milk etc. many of them obviously contained, they did not all contain chocolate!!!
About Me
- Michael House
- I run a vegetarian and vegan guest house in north Cornwall, with my long suffering husband Simon, who also has a tree and garden businees and often has to help here when he gets home! We love the contact with people the guest house brings and providing people with good food and a relaxing environment. I have just become vegan (Sept 2009) and am trying to link with lots of vegans to find out how to do it! I love making cards and painting, and felt making (hm, will have to rethink this to use soy and bamboo fibres eventaully) is my passion of the moment. Our animals are very important to us and tend to take over my blog. They have April 2009) been granted their own blog, in which Ted the cat will tell all the secrets we didn't wish to share and the dogs will talk about how lovely everything is!
