Day 2

It's snowing like [funny, yet empathetically sensitive cocaine reference] out here! My Subaru kicks ass in snow but still, I'm working from home so Ryan is picking up dinner stuff.

LUNCH: Sandwich made of garlic-wilted spinach and a Boca chix patty with Vegennaise on multi-grain*. Really good! Kept me sated throughout the day til dinner.

DINNER: Wilted kale with white beans and garlic bread. WE FUCKED UP.
Somehow, someone "rinsed" the kale but it still came out like dirt-leaves. Kale needs goddam water torture before it lets up its gritty secrets.
CONTINGENCY PLAN: Wash out the dirty-ass pan and saute the white beans in fresh garlic. Mash 'em up and shmear them on the baguette that's already toasted with it's vegan butter substitute. Yuck City.

All in all – delicious! We split the loaf into four, one quarter each for dinner and the same for lunch tomorrow, but I was good and full before I finished mine. Didn't stop, though.

I feel that this is the point where good bloggers post their recipes. But if a person's ever cooked a damned thing in their lives, they can probably figure it out from the above description. But here's a quick rundown of the ingredients:

1 bunch kale (unwashed and thrown onto the landlord's porch)
8 cloves garlic (smashed and chopped a little)
Decent olive oil
A dumb baguette
Other stuff

Good luck.





*This bread has honey listed as a "less than 2%" ingredient. Definitely goes against the majority of vegan diets, so allow me to explain my version – Conveganism. I.e., Only vegan when it's convenient. E.g., If I'm at a family event, I won't boast my diet. At a friendly gathering, I won't ask anyone not to put cheese in their recipe. At an Italian restaurant, I'll order a penne marinara without asking if the sauce has chicken stock in it. Et cetera and so on and so forth. I'll never be a "weird vegan" because, technically, I'm not really vegan.
