We are well within Week 2 of our “Veggie Experiment“.  I haven’t tasted fish, pork, chicken, or beef for the past 12 days and it’s been ok so far.  I guess I can think of only two big bummers so far:

1. We attempted to go out to eat on our usual Wednesday last week and it was quite a learning experience.  We chose a place we go to regularly just to see how we could make this experiment work.  Unfortunately they were serving a special “BBQ Menu” that night.  Dude!!!  It’s bad enough that I had to go veggie but I couldn’t try any of their special BBQ items!  Jes explained to the waiter that we were trying to go veggie so he brought us the bar menu and we luckily found a few items to try.  But we didn’t get to have any brisket!!!  Bummer.
2. Today I was feeding one of my patients who is an extremely picky eater and  I managed to coax him into eating some of his omelet and pancake.  He also had 2 strips of bacon sitting there on his plate, which he COMPLETELY REFUSED.  It was killing me!!  It smelled so good and this little kid was refusing the “magical animal”!!!!!  I wanted to just gobble it up for him and pretend it never happened but I reluctantly tossed in the trash.  Double-bummer.

So, last Friday we added egg to our “OK foods” and this Friday was supposed to be when we add fish again.  However, after figuring out that my brother’s wedding reception was coming up in 2 weeks, we decided to keep going without fish for an additional week.  So, by the time the reception rolls around, we will be back to our regular carnivorous diet just in time for the tasty Thai feast.  I can’t wait!
