The Second Coming

My husband turned Vegan, low fat Vegan to be exact. I’m trying to remain positive, but he treats every new dietary approach like the “second coming?” Did I mention he was an Engineer, black and white are his team colors, fingers crossed that a rainbow appears soon.

I’m no slouch. I’m vegetarian 6 days a week and don’t cook meat at home. We belong to an organic vegetable club and are locavores buying at the farmer’s market every week. I’m just saying “would it be too much to ask for a sprinkle of cheese on my veggie pizza?”

He’s doing this for “big picture” health reasons. I completely support that. It’s the day to day “small picture” that’s chafes my hiney. When he asks every single server including the nice woman behind the counter at Taco Bell if her bean burritos contain animal products. BTW good news, she said no.

It’s the fact that I searched for a Vegan-friendly restaurant only to discover upon arriving that their Paella was prepared in chicken broth so he wouldn’t order it. UGHHHH! Hold on a sec, it’s hard to type and barf at the same time!

This too shall pass, just like the low carb Aktins revolution that invaded our home a few years ago. Unfortunately, the passing will signal another “second coming!” YIKES!

Silver lining….Skittles are Vegan and a friend just texted that Tequila is tool! Ta Ta for now! heading out to the liquor store. Sure hope that they have a candy counter!
