Veganism

[GoldenRivet]

As i sit here after enjoying a late breakfast of scrambled eggs, tobasco sauce, sausage and a biscuit im reminded... I have this friend, she is a vegan, we are guests in her house occasionally. Occasionally she will cook us dinner or perhaps breakfast if we choose to spend the night.

I'm here to tell you, either she cannot cook, or veganism is the most bland, tasteless, unexciting lifestyle where food is concerned.

everything we have ever consumed in her home has been made of some sort of whole wheat, whole grain, soy something or other and it has been a full time job just to choke down a few ounces of it.

she claims numerous health benifits to her veganism but this doesnt stop her from tipping the scales at over 200+ lbs, which, for her 5'4" frame is rather... fluffy.

We were eating breakfast at her house just a day or two ago and she made these cinnamon rolls... i can guess the recipe:

take one slice of whole grain bread and roll it into a biscuit shape. let it sit out for 2 days, drizzle it with watered down sour cream and cinnamon sprinkles... serve

but despite the horrendous lack of flavor in pretty much all of the dishes served, they all seem to take more than 1-2 hours to prepare. how it takes 2 hours to prepare and serve only to turn out with a taste comparable to 8.5"x11" college ruled notebook paper is beyond me.

personally, I'd just as soon eat two eggs over easy served atop a t-bone steak with a glass of orange juice. thats a working man's breakfast.

i'm thankful that i have a woman who knows how to feed her man something thats not only rich in flavor but is traditional and is going to stick to his bones until lunch time!

anyone else suffer through the vegan lifestyle in some way or another?
