Day in the life...

I have a theory. Well I have heaps of theories about heaps of stuff but today I will tell you about a theory I came up with yesterday when I was scoffing down a burger and chips with 'da boyz' (Doug and N). You know how people often have dinner parties, BBQs, picnics, go out for dinner etc? Well that's always when people find out we are vegan and they say "shit! What do you eat? Don't you miss cheese?..." and I never know what to say because I can never think of a way of explaining how awesome food is when you're vegan. Being vegan opens up a whole new world of flavours blah blah blah. But they can't seem to see past the cheese. 

Here's where my theory kicks in. People (when I say people I mean omnivores) only see vegan life from the unfortunate perspective of missing out on stuff, but I think this is because they only ever see us when we are at these awkward social functions where we are trying to get by on whatever is on offer. For example, when we go to a BBQ (if we are silly enough not to bring our own food) we are left with white bread with sauce, green salad and maybe a dry, over-cooked vegie burger. So I don't blame 'people' for thinking we must eat really bland food, because compared to their plates piled up with creamy potato salad, sausages, steaks, cheeses, bread with butter etc, our plates look pretty sad. I can handle missing out on good food on these occasions because I know when I get home I get to eat awesome shit. 

So the point of this post is to show you what we ate yesterday. One day in our life...

Breakfast - FRONCH (vegan french toast) with fruit, 'cream', and maple syrup 

Lunch - Burger with fried onion and mushroom, salad and mayo. Plus three spiced chips.

Cous cous with vegies and chick peas. AND a chick'n snitzel.

Note: I forgot to take a photo of our actual dinner last night but we had this dinner a couple of weeks ago so whatevs. Last night we had vol au vents with a bean and avocado salad. Oh and Dougy had a pretty shit food day yesterday because we forgot to buy his kangaroo meat, he had dry food and a really small bone. Poor love. But, he's not vegan so he misses out.
