This weekend my sister came to visit.
We ate Red Velvet cake that tasted like our Granny’s.
We ate donuts slathered in frosting and dusted with cinnamon.
We tried on fringed fanny packs. Those are great for carrying your wallet. You know, to pay for cake and donuts and stuff.

I’m not really into substitutes. Such as substitutes for things like hot dogs and cheese. Did I tell you about the time I made low-carb pizza crust out of pureed cauliflower? For Valentine’s Day. Romantic, huh? WRONG. And wrong again.
First off the crust tasted like plastic. Seriously. If you’ve chewed on your Barbie doll’s leg before, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. To top it off, I used fake cheese. I’m not talking about Kraft Singles. Those are real cheese in my book. I heard fake cheese was OK. So why not? I can handle OK. What that person meant to tell me about fake cheese is that it’s horrible, revolting and triggers your gag reflex the nano second before it hits your tongue.
My fantasy of an evening being equally fun and dreamy while making pizza with my love and then laughing whilst talking about how much we adore each other as we indulged this pizza pie knowing it wouldn’t even affect our waist lines was completely destroyed by a substitute.
To conclude, never experiment or try to be healthy on a holiday. Oh, and our waist lines were affected, in our favor. We lost our appetites and lost a pound from dry heaving.
I can’t even remember what this post was supposed to be about. See entry titled “Dummy“.

That’s it. Thank goodness it’s Friday!! And for your reading pleasure…
This blog post caused me to nearly lose coffee out of my nose, from laughing so hard. I had a similar instance with my sister ironically also in a movie theater restroom. It must be the popcorn.
P.S. The real fun begins in the 6th paragraph of the post.

Things I’ve seen and read that make me glad I chose to eat vegan 90% of the time.

Good resources for those wondering…”If you don’t eat milk, steak, cheese or eggs, what can you eat?
