faux vegan?

Lane and I want to try going vegan when we get back to Ithaca, partly because I always feel guilty about eating animals, and partly because it's just supposed to be healthier. Also, since we'll be in one of the major vegan/vegetarian capitals of the world, we kinda feel like, "Hey, if you can't go vegan here, you probably can't go vegan anywhere."

I've been feeling super ambitious. Like, buying these three cookbooks today on Amazon:

Also, I'm suddenly convinced that I'll cook all these exotic vegan Indian dishes (because Lane now likes Indian food, THANK GOODNESS), so I'm obsessing over buying spices and spice containers.

Then I realize I don't have any Indian cookbooks, vegan or no. Also, the thought of buying a spice grinder is pretty depressing.

Then I start spiraling because, hello? Dinosaur BBQ? and I know that we'll fail even before we've begun.

Also:
STEAK
PEKING DUCK
ZACHARY'S CHICKEN AND BACON PIZZA
MEEEEEAAAAAT

Maybe we'll just be faux vegan... like, only eat meat when we really really want it. But that's all the time... so...umm...
