CHALLENGE: To go completely vegan for 21 days starting on March 1, 2010. To do: Get rid of all cheese and other illegal stuff in the fridge; we will have one day to eat it or give it away.
Mom: Ok, so Iza and I are sitting here thinking about food. We are also thinking about Bacon and Butter. We are trying to think of foods that butter does not make better. So far, we have come up with watermelon, pineapple, oranges, grapes, and other various fruits. Butter makes veggies better; it makes almost everything better. So, let's face the cold hard fact that the next twenty one days will be rather difficult.
Iza: First I thought that this was cool. ok, 21 days vegan. little did I know that I would have to give up milk and bacon. ( ok, maybe I knew that i would have to give up bacon, but i keep forgetting) So here i am sitting in my own cold hard world realizing that i will have to live without butter. The world is nothing without butter.
Mom: There are vegan substitutes for butter. It will be ok. I promise. 21 days. We can do this.
Iza: i am sobbing. but i am doing this of my own free will. Its a lot to ask of a 12 year old girl. But at the end of the 21 days i will have a 3 ton bag of bragging rights to hold over my brothers head. and it willl squash him like a bug.
Mom: Aleks is refusing to join us in our journey of self-discipline. He says that we are nuts, but that's ok... nuts are healthy and Vegan! This is gonna be fun!
