From here The Regulars: Green Eggs, But No Ham

Green Eggs, But No Ham

I'm sitting here and I'm already tempted. I mean, I just had an awesome barbequeue today, pork kabobs, chicken, the works. We have tons of leftovers, enough for a few days worth of dinners. But I can't eat any of it.

That's right folks, half of the regulars are vegetarians this week. Me, Andrew, and Spencer are embarking on a seven-day journey of the soul, if for nothing else then for a bit of extra credit in Anthropology. Denise is doing it too, but she's becoming vegan. Poor thing.

The assignment? Because of the videos that Anna is showing about slaughterhouses and the like, we are trying to see what it's like to be vegetarian for a week. We have to journal each day about it, our meal-plan, the works. While I think that a week is no big deal, and that we wouldn't notice many changes, Denise and Jessica (Kennen) had no restraint in trying to scare us. Supposedly, even in such a short amount of time, if you don't get your complete proteins then your immune system is shot. That means beans and rice, for some reason.

For me this was a silly excuse to have Vi Thai at least once this week, but I'm pretty sure that Pad Thai has at least fish sauce in it. But there's always tempura. I love carrots!

Thoughts? Recipes? Opinions?

Oh, and I'm getting extra credit in Art and possibly English for doing this too.

Journey of the soul, that sounds about right. I don't really have a problem with eating meat, so, for me it's about the credit. I have a B in anthro right now, if I need to reel in my meat intake to get an easy A, that sounds like a trade that's more than fair.
