I’d like to kick off this entry with a quick shout out to my dawg, Nutritional Yeast. You are flaky. You are melty. You are lovingly grown on iron-rich blackstrap molasses, often fortified with vitamin B12, and pasteurised. The Nutritional Yeast Marketing Board should perhaps consider renaming you something that does not sound like it will expand in my stomach or cause itching.
People don’t talk much about B12. Everyone wants to know about protein. I even found this joke on a web site the other day:
Q: How many vegans does it take to screw in a lightbulb.
A: I don’t know, but where do you get your protein?
Enough about the protein. The protein is a flare. B12 is the one and only thing that’s tricky to get from a vegan diet.
Cheeses uneaten: parmesan, cheddar, mozarella, feta
Eggs unbeaten: scrambled, stir-fried with veg
Uncheese enjoyed: melty white cheez sauce
Alternate Source of Life-Sustaining Grease Consumed at 1 am: Olive oil (with balsamic & bread), walnuts, almonds
Publication not picked up at the Price Chopper: Pleasure of Cheese
Food consumed that possibly had hidden butter or eggs: cookies, but only on Friday. Today I steered clear.
Mystery cheesy smell lingering in kitchen: Gone!
Missing it: Amazingly, no. Feeling strong, thank you very much.
Note to self: buy vitamins.
