The Beauty of Vegetarianism

I have to put a disclaimer out there... I love animals, but I'm not vegetarian to save the world or to protect animals from unjust harm... I do it for health.

I just love the idea of simplifying everything. And why not take the chance to simplify my eating habits. Instead of thinking about how to be healthy while eating meat (surprisingly hard) I decided to cut meat out of my diet all together.

See how beautiful my meals are now? Compare that to a bloody, thick slab of steak (although delicious).

Perhaps I'll get to the point where I decide to be this new thing called flexitarian, eating meat in small amounts once in awhile... but for now, why bother when I haven't set a foundation. I'm happy with nomming on some green peppers and hummus.

PF Changs

Went to PF Changs last night. SO GOOD. Had a 6:30 reservation and we didn't get seated until 6:50 or so, but those who didn't have reservations had to wait 3-4 hours! -- Ridiculousness on New Years!

The vegetarian lettuce wraps were so good that I swore they had meat in them (I thought the tofu tasted and had the same texture as pork). I sent the dish back and then was wholly assured by a multitude of managers and our waiter that it was in fact vegetarian. They brought me a new plate of the dish and IT WAS UNBELIEVABLY delicious. If you get the chance, GO [and get the lettuce wraps]
