Anyway.
I promised I would talk about my adventures into the land of vegetarianism so here it goes. I was scanning Lenoir for something non meat related when I passed by the "world" bar. You know, that part of Lenoir where they put cubed food particles- and perhaps some noodles- into a pan, fry it, slap a foreign name on it and call it food? Well, I walked by that night and I was particularly enticed by the teriyaki chicken and vegetables... too bad I'm vegetarian.
Wait Allie!
Do you see those brown cubes in the frying pan on the end?
Why yes, yes I do.
It's called TOFU and it's a staple in every vegetarian diet.
It sounded fun, so I tried it. Honestly I didn't mind it a all. (Don't tell my carnivorous friends but I might like it better than meat.) Tofu tastes like whatever you cook it in, and in this case it simply tasted like Lenoir teriyaki sauce.
My skeptical brain wanted to know a little more about what I was consuming so I researched tofu a little bit more. Tofu is a soy product that contains primarily protein and fat and can be consumed and cooked in three different forms: firm, soft, and silken.

i think its crazy to go vegetarian!!! but respect to you! i dont think i could ever do it with the amount of exercise that i have to do. my coach in switzerland, who also was a swimmer back in his prime, was a vegetarian and he said he never had a problem with not eating meat. i personally dont think i could leave the cheeseburgers and taco's in my life lol
ReplyDeleteI like how you introduced this post! I think it would be okay if you let a little more about who you are into the blog. I don't think you necessarily have to mention vegetarianism every time?
