I was looking for something to bring to my friend Adam’s Fourth of July BBQ and while at Anime Expo, my friend Lori suggested a chocolate avocado dessert that she had made.  Not having her recipe on hand (though the double chocolate torte recipe she posted later looks fabulous and fun in the future), I naturally trolled the Google.

I modified a recipe I found with berries from Exploits of a Vegan Wannabe.  So you could say that this recipe was made by Renee Mahon, slightly modified by S. Duquet, and then slightly modified again by cc.tran.

So I made it!  Yes, there was that Los Angeles Magazine party incident and the Vitameatavegamin undoing, but I learned a little something about food consciousness/fast food consciousness and GOOD even featured/reblogged one of my food photos on tumblr!

In the end, I think I realized that being a vegetarian for 30 days (give or take) was not bad at all, but actually pretty great.

• I felt better.
• I cooked more.
• I thought about what I ate.
• I explored LA from a different angle.

I’ve had my fair share of people talk to me on public transit.  As a fact gatherer and a storyteller, I care more about hearing the lives of other people, about letting stories themselves unfold from random conversations.  And as a girl, I’ve also had my fair share of such people possibly hitting on me, so I try to be brief about the details, generally honest, and generally only pretend to be engaged if the story might save me (that juvi-ex-con story is for another day).

The only thing “good” about this post is that I am able to use an “I Love Lucy” reference:

Hello friends. I’m your Vitameatavegamin girl. Are you tired, run-down, listless? Do you poop out at parties? Are you unpopular? The answer to all your problems is in this little bottle. Vitameatavegamin. Yes, Vitameatavegamin contains Vitamins Meat Vegetables and Minerals.
(“Lucy Does a TV Commercial”, Season 1, Episode 30).

Emphasis on "Meat”…as in I found out today that the vitamins I had been trying to be consistent in taking actually have meat in them.  The label reads:

Sorry I haven’t posted about my veggie adventures in awhile! I was caught up last week on my charitytran.com blog with creative and non-fiction publications (and a random post I wrote on Britney Spears, sound, and time). However if you follow my randomness on tumblr and instagram, I have (mostly) kept up-to-date with food photo sharing!

GOOD decided today that they liked my photo from my lunch at Lawry’s Carvery in Downtown LA – thus, reblogging it! Thanks for the love GOOD!
