Sunday (day 2) Chris and I got up early and went shopping…. went...

Store Review
My rant of the day is going to be about the grocery stores and just how random they are. I live in Austin Texas so my choices are…
Whole Foods (of course…and the reason we had to move here) I have 2 choices…
The Lamar Store which is the Flagship store (Chris’s office is on one of the 5 levels over the store) and what I like to call the Disney of all grocery stores.. I...

Results are in.....
I got the results of my blood tests today…. Dr Anne said though still on the high end they are coming down and if I keep up with the vegan diet she will not put me on any new medication right now and just let me try to fix it with my diet. I go back at the end of Feb and then she will make a decision on what to do….
The last time it was tested was end of September

Dinner out update.....
So last night’s dinner was a little “odd”. Dinner was at Shoreline Grill in downtown Austin. It’s “an Austin original serving the best in sustainable seafood, locally sourced produce, and a fresh new approach to American cuisine, with a coveted view of lady bird lake”. Chris picked it for 2 reasons…. they had a vegan/vegetarian menu on request and we were...

Food Bank.....
I cleaned out my pantry and gave a nice big bag of meat based broths, soups with meat, gravy, white flour pasta, tuna and salmon to the food bank! All that is left is stuff Miranda eats and a few frozen meats… oh and I need to clean out the condiments… you know it’s “OFFICAL” when you start giving away or throwing away food!!

Kirk is a Lacto Ovo Vegetarian, and claims that Lani says it makes his sperm taste better. (LOL i shit you not!)
HAHA….
Dr. update.....
So I went to my Dr appointment. She was not happy to hear the latest cholesterol medication she put me on also bothers my legs (not many more left for me to try) but was very encouraged by my vegan diet. She decided not to try anything new until the lab results come back to see if it has helped clean out my blood any. I asked her if there was anything else that should be checked due to my change...

Help me out here, vegans.
Devo: Look, I'm glad you're here, because I have another Super Important Vegan Question (SIVQ™) for you
Vegan Ex-Girlfriend (VEG): oh yeah?
Devo: if a vegan was walking through a forest, and like... a deer was walking along and died right in front of them, of natural causes (like maybe a tree branch fell on its head??) would the vegan object to eating that deer? And if so, what would be the basis of their objection?
VEG: I can't answer for vegans in general, but i can answer for me, personally
VEG: NO
VEG: THAT IS GROSS
Devo: well I'm not saying you just start munching away at it..
VEG: still disgusting.
Devo: But from what perspective?
Devo: Have you had venison stew? Because it is PRETTY good.
VEG: DISGUSTING
VEG: i personally simply hate eating meat
Devo: Ok ok fine, let me change the question a little bit
Devo: you come across an abandoned beehive.. it's abandoned because some really hungry birds came along and ate all the bees, but it's still full of honey
Devo: would you eat the honey?
VEG: maaaaaaaybe
VEG: but probably not, cos if birds had eaten the bees, i would assume there would be feathers all through the honey.
Devo: Ugh... the honey is inside the hive sooo... there are no feathers in it
Devo: JUST DELICIOUS HONEY
Devo: YOU CAN MAKE BAKLAVA WITH IT
VEG: well, then, how did the birds get all the bees? what about the queen?
Devo: look, the bees are gone
Devo: just sweet sweet fructose there for the scavengin'
VEG: is this like that "after humans" show?
VEG: "after bees"
Devo: yeah, the bee rapture occurred
VEG: the bee eschaton?
Devo: exactly, as was foretold in beevalations
Devo: there's no problem with eating the post-beepocalyptic honey, is there? Ethically speaking?
VEG: um.
VEG: look i gotta go.
...MADE ME LAUGH!!
