I'll be over here in the corner making a cabin out of bacon

I spent most of the evening laying in bed with a headache, since there's a nasty weather front moving through. (And, I might add, a winter storm which will dump a bunch of snow on us by Monday night. But oh well. It's Michigan, right?)

Guess what! It's Sunday! The very last day of my pointless self-imposed week of vegetarianism! I can almost hear the bacon cheeseburgers clawing at my front door.

At least I hope that's what that is.

Thank you, to all of you who put up with my little experiment yet again. As most of you know, this is my second foray into vegetarianism. Even though the first try (last year) didn't go badly at all, I was surprised by how much more smoothly this time went. I was at peace with the whole thing and didn't really have any super-strong cravings. My brain knew it was only a one-week thing. :)
Last time I really, really wanted BBQ ribs. (Real ones, not fake monstrosities). This time I'm sort of looking forward to a bacon double cheeseburger, but it's a mild desire instead of an insistent urge.

Thank you also to Grace, who commented that my menus looked healthful. I agree. I went out of my way to choose high-fiber multi-grains (buns, tortillas, crackers). I ate fresh fruit (grapefruits, pears, kiwi, kumquats, raspberries), yogurt, veggie burgers (which I really liked), herbal tea, and... well, you get the idea. Yes, there were occasional indulgences like fries or ice cream, but they were the exception, and I think it's important to let yourself have indulgences like that sometimes.

Also, I don't know if any of you noticed this or not, but I made it through the entire week without eating even one salad. I'm oddly proud of that. Not that I dislike salad, but I wanted to prove it's possible to be vegetarian without being a salad-hound.

No offense to any of you who may or may not currently be salad hounds. :)
