We went to the zoo today with Christian which I knew would be a challenge for us, being as how zoo food is heavy on the pizza and burgers. We had some black bean burgers which were actually better than the regular burgers that they have there but, that's a pretty low bar. Zoo burgers are horrible. They are overpriced and the only reason to eat them is that all of the rest of the food there pretty much sucks as well and the burgers are the least overpriced choice. So, I know that's not the most resounding endorsement of veggie burgers but at least they beat "horrible".

Tonight we had linguine with pesto and artichokes. It was a recipe that Laura got from the "Veganomicon", which comes highly recommended. I loved this meal and will probably continue to eat it when/if we give this vegan thing up. Same deal with last night's chili.

Today I found myself getting hungry more often. I had to eat a peanut butter sandwich between breakfast and lunch and I was super super hungry right before dinner. I'm actually even a little hungry right now, even right after dinner. I'm not sure if this is me not eating enough or if I'm just missing out on all the fat.

I think I already said this once but it bears repeating -- soy milk is really good.
