Living with a VEGAN...

My manfriend, Mr.Nathan, is vegan.  I am vegetarian.  They are not the same.  I love cheese.  He says cheese has cow scabs in it.  Chocolate milk is delicious!  He says chocolate milk has pus in it. 

Since Mr. Nathan and I moved in together I noticed something... All he eats are black beans, tortillas, and salsa... Now that's a cool meal but... it's not everything!

I eat a variety of things, I enjoy everything just minus the meat! I can even still eat chicken nuggets, well chick'n nuggets they're from morning star!  Mr. Nathan can't though, they have milk and eggs in them... Damn.

So after trying to cook him adultlike meals I finally came across a beacon of hope for my very confused self.  http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/

Everything in this is amazing.. I've tried about 8 recipes from it so far and have not been disappointed.  I've even managed to cook some tofu for my carnivorous dad, whom was confused but pleasantly surprised.  So, getting to the point kudos Susan V, I love you.

Fro-yo is Cool Kid Talk for Frozen Yogurt

      I kill people for a living.  Okay well no, but I do take the publics money at Coolgreens.  Coolgreens is a line style restaurant that serves fro-yo, salads, wraps, soups, and cruddy pita pizzas.  Coolgreens was fantastic when it first opened last September but now, it has become a not-so-great-faux-trendy hotspot for rich bored housewifes who live for their obstreperous whispering campaigns. 
      I used to love working at this lovely little place..I have now made sure that I work one shift a week and that's it...NO MORE.  I would love to be a hairdresser! That's genuinely the only thing I want to do for the next five er so years!  If I was offered an instant spot for the life of fame I might just take that, but I doubt I would want that as much as being a hairstylist. 
     
     Getting back on topic to Coolgreens.. well there really isn't much to it really.  I don't hate my co-workers completely though... I have a really fabulous girlfriend who works there, Allie from Cali, we both have this pet peeve and that is when people call the Fro-yo, Icecream!  We are not snobs by anymeans about our fantastic Fro-yo (bleh!) but we hear it called Fro-yo so much that when people say Icecream it kind of gives us that funny feeling like when you smell cumin cooking and you don't realize it's cumin.. It's wierd and we just don't know what it is.. then we taste it and understand... When I work people ask me what is in the Fro-yo and I really just don't know what to tell them other than the truth...

     "Uhm, well there is a gallon of skim milk, yoggi, frutosa, and about 500 g of sugar... It's all good stuff.. I just erm.. Don't really know what yoggi or frutosa are...Oh yea!! and there is probiotic bacteria!!!"

     You wanna know what the sad thing is.. my job is to make the Fro-yo and just about everyother time I forget to put in the probiotic bacteria..  When I do put in the bacteria I make sure to not eat it.  I'm trying to become a vegatarian!  Our bacteria is alive and such so... I have to pass on it... happily.
