Late Night Run

One More Week...

I don't know how vegetarians do it, but midnight food runs look much different to me these days. Most of us have hectic schedules and don't always have something marinating in the fridge or sitting on the stove for dinner each night. So we're sometimes left with fast food spots or late night 7-Eleven runs after a certain time...

Last night the only place that was open was a Chinese Food spot open until 2AM. I'm always skeptical of restaurants that stay open that late, because you never know how long your meal has been sitting there. But I was hungry so there was no room for questions. As I flipped through the menu of non-traditional meat items I got discouraged with each page. Meals like "Roasted Frog with Intestine", "Octopus & Tripe in Oyster Sauce", and my personal favorite "Sweet & Sour Cow Tongue" were the other options. YUCK. The Brown Stew Lotus Root did look good, but I wasn't feel that adventurous.

So I finally flipped to the page with vegetables and figured I would just combine three side dishes and make a meal out of that. So sad and anticlimactic! As I walked away with my spicy eggplant and steamed rice I finally started to miss CHICKEN & BEEF.

Sidenote: The business minded side of me began to think that we could open up a restaurant and make a killing on a"24Hr Veggie Hut". But that was just delirium from the lack of food to my brain...fall back fall back.

This experience was exemplary of what my last week of Vegetarianism looked like. It was the hardest week of them all. How was your last week...I'd especially like to hear from all those who haven't chimed in yet. Any final thoughts as we close this chapter?
