and I am still vegetarian

It seems like I have not had meat for months. Really this change in my habits has been rather hard.
I have had to shop differently, cook differently and dine out differently.

Take for example a menu that I was chosing from at an airport. I basically just wanted burger and chips, but I had to look at the menu more closely.

I plunged for the last option "falafel with red pepper and harissa hummua". A choice I would NEVER had taken under normal circumstance. I would have skirted over it quickly and obviously dismissed it.

Well welcome new behaviours!!!

I chose it and guess what it was fantastic. And over and over again I am experiencing that vegetarian food is amazing. It even has the added bonus of not feeling bloated and over full after the meal.

It just isn't enough to leave out the meat, you really have to find good substitues which can be yummy. I have also developed a new relationship with aubergines.

There is still three weeks to go and I confess that it is not getting easier, however I am sure my fish intake has gone through the roof. My body is pumping with Omega 3, like never before.

So will I become vegetarian? Unlikely, but I may be developing new eating habits which may last beyond the 40 days of lent.

Chick pea anyone?
