How about this moment -

Karen: Hey. Hi, guys.
Michael: [notices Karen's pregnant] Oh my God. Is that Jim's?

That was so brutal hahaha

Poor Pam has taken some real shit from him

Yeah it's a hilarious show and to me it was 60% Michael Scott. After he left I lost interest. The obnoxious things he said and got away with every day. Jim and Pam the second time was a little tiring. The Toby moments are possible the best of the entire series. NO! GOD! NOOOOO! when he returns, lol.

Michael Scott is just an over the top character that generally means well but has a terrible understanding of the world, doesn't notice other peoples' feelings, and executes everything terribly. He is so hostile to Toby. The other characters are good in their own ways, but without Michael bringing them together it was not the same.

Like fuck... Michael dating Pam's mom and then bailing when he found out how old she was, dumping her on her birthday

Add that to the uncomfortable awkward pile

Cafe Disco is my favorite

That is the most ^_^ episode ever.. literally nothing bad happens in that episode

Cafe Disco is awesome!

My heart wasn't in it the same towards the end of the show but that finale makes me tear up no shame

Other than the sexual harassment episode, most of the early seasons were complete garbage. The first season rehashes a lot of stuff from the BBC version but the BBC version did it better. And, as always, Michael Scott is a poor man's David Brent.

Season 1 sucked because it was trying to be a clone. 2 and later improved greatly with some freedom and character development. Seasons 3 4 and 5 were all pretty good overall.

6 has some good moments. For whatever reason I thought Michael Scott was gone earlier in the series. It wasn't the same without him.

I totally forgot about Dinner Party too but that was at least funny and not awful

Yesterday I tried some vegan cheese and oh my god

The smell was not pleasant (although I find cheese smell to be nasty normally)

And it was so rubbery. I mean I think that shit will bounce

But I baked that stuff up on to a bad boy lil pizza and it melted up and tasted ok

Too many soy burgers this week, needs more veg on veg action

My family said they'd cook vegan when i visited so that's really nice of them

Almost at 4 weeks now and I've dropped 4KG. I'd like to attribute that to healthy eating but I just haven't been eating all that much. Not eating animal products kind of limits the quick easy to access food.

Really need to figure out my own recipe for veg meatloaf or nonmeat patties.

It's surprising how many things have egg products in them. A childhood friend had a bad egg allergy and I can hardly imagine how difficult that is to navigate.

Yesterday I was out walking around in the evening, pretty long after lunch. I kept smelling meat on grills. It made me extra hungry but also smelled really strong in a not quite good way. Ehhhh. Treated myself to a soy burger and it was not bad.

So far I've really liked stir fry type dishes, curries, sandwiches, and some salads. there are a lot of recipes I have pinned to try later. Having a good deal of success with Indian dishes/store items for vegan eats.

Still not really missing meat. Would like to be able to have yogurt, no vegan yogurt in sight in my town.

Last night I made dal tadka and brown rice and I am excited for those delicious leftovers. It wasn't quite the same without ghee but it's barely noticeable. Still excellent, delicious, and really healthy. :3

You should try to add hemp seed to your diet.

I would only eat meat once or twice a month for almost a year, but gave that up in April, so I only eat meat once or twice a week when I eat out.

A good way to be

OK... do I have some kind of veg burger and salad tonight? I think i might do that for easy meals
---

Now past 2 weeks. I've tried some meat replacers (meh) and think I'll just stick with tofu for the most part. Until I can find good tempeh or seitan somewhere. This is not a great place for eating without meat.

Tonight will be the real test to see how that weird soy chicken reheats in stirfry.

She likes them.

I mean, she married me. She has no taste.

I will grant you that. Hot Pockets, heck no. :p

Picked up some Yves veggie burgers in a few varieties. They're not bad, just a bit pricy. As long as you don't think they're meat they hold up on their own as tasty food.

One nice thing about the alternatives: no gristle or random bone shards. I greatly dislike encountering either. Going to need to learn to make my own meat alternatives. The store bought kinds are expensive (but so is meat).

It's also pretty easy so far to cook balanced meals with no meat alternative in it. Good to have the option and variety.

Jen0125 posted...

I usually have at least one meal a day that doesn't have meat. Sometimes two.

And my red meat intake is really low but that's still meat so that doesn't matter much.

My problem with not eating animal products at all is that I live for cheese so I have no desire to give that up. :o even if I had a digestive disease that made it painful to eat I think I still would >_>

I used to be fine having no meat with most meals. The shift to no meat at all has helped me find ways to focus on different foods at the centerpiece, rather than meat. And I don't like cheese that much so not a huge loss for me--though it would be nice to have pizza or something. There are some decent vegan cheeses. Nothing I would call good on its own. But they can be fine melted on things. I had some really good vegan pizza in Portland that was still pretty melty and nice.

Don't get me wrong, meat can be delicious, I just feel that my personal enjoyment doesn't justify participating in something that harms my health and supports industries that I am morally against.

He's probably also one of those types that complains about how Vegans have to tell everyone and plays Spot The Vegan.

Then he requests you to identify as a Vegan.

Well, I'd say no great loss to you in this one.

Wowow that curry is great. I put some on brown rice. Couldn't find red curry paste without fish sauce so I used yellow. Used a little more curry paste than suggested to taste.

I usually go for the vindaloo, usually lamb.

I usually get a bunch of different dishes when I can. Chana masala, aloo gobi, korma, malai kofta (anoter good dish with cashews), biryani if I'm feeling fancy... vindaloo is OK too. Blanked on the fish dish that I like sometimes.

I'm not a fan of whole cashews. Never had korma.

You can't really taste the cashews in it.

yeah they more or less just thicken the gravy for the dish and add an extra richness to it. To keep it vegan I'd use coconut milk and omit yogurt. it goes well with the cashew.

they're second only to onion buns

onion buns are also delicious. I'd have to see if any of the buns here are vegan--lots of onion buns have butter or cheeses. so far i have had good luck finding breads without eggs or butter.

I also like cheddar cheese buns but those are obviously out

Don't forget quinoa. It's an awesome high protein grain that's very versatile. I like to throw in a few spices, some bell pepper and hot peppers, beans, corn and nuts/seeds. It's my goto veggie dish.

It's... ok. Whole wheat pasta has similar protein amounts.

I still have issues with quinoa after a norovirus bout when i ate quinoa. it's a particularly unpleasant food to vomit. :(

Gosh I wish I had more of those chick'n burgers. They were surprisingly tasty. great on a toasted kaiser roll with vegan mayo, barbecue sauce, onions, and lettuce. Mmmmm.

i only asked because of how this was worded i think

oh. In wraps the non-vegan item may be eggs, but most don't have them. So it could be a vegan wrap. They usually are.

No, eggs were brought up in the context of potentially making my wraps not vegen. But they didn't contain any.

You should try a variety of beans. You'll need to keep your protein consumption up. I like black beans but they're all good.

I have been eating a lot of lentils which have as much protein as beans (or more). Whole grains have protein. Mushrooms, nuts, seeds... And I have some pea protein powder for smoothies. Easy to get 80g+ in a day with one of those which is much more than needed.

When I can find some tempeh I want to try cooking with it

Hard to say. Lots of bread products with eggs, milk, or butter. In wraps maybe eggs but they might actually be vegan.

Well now I'm curious. You actually encouraged me to check the label: no milk or eggs, and the shortening is vegetable based.

Yeah, that's one thing that is often vegan. I have seen other things in it on occasion.

That's something I have been doing a lot... reading all the labels on all the things

Kettle corn is a nice snack I can find that's vegan. Oreos are as well.

But mostly lots of delicious fruits. It's easier to not think about a label.

Keep up the good work, as much as I love animals I don't think I could ever give up animal products. I just accept the fact that I'm a filthy hypocrite on that subject.

Thanks. I do love animals, and I do want to do what I can environmentally, cutting it out is big. I know this is not for everyone but I'm deciding to act on convictions and try for myself. So far I am pleasantly surprised at the tasty variety of food and low cost of ingredients. All that fiber is a nice bonus.

A friend of mine is vegetarian but will eat meat if it is ethically sourced. It seems like the best way to go, he has an app for fish but has to do research for everything else.

That would be a good way to do it. But locally there's not really many options. I don't want to eat red meat and there's no local fish or poultry. For health's sake I am abstaining.

I'll probably end up having to eat something when I visit family or just bring my own meat substitute/food. They do not understand or support plant based eating. So it goes.

I don't believe you. There are probably ingredients of animal origin in your other stuff like shampoo, dish washing soap, and stuff like that.

Nope. I've sourced ethical cosmetics and cleaning products for many years and even make my own soap. No animal ingredients or testing for anything. And yeah it can be a pain to check labels for everything but it's habit.

I'm encountering more issues with hidden animal products in food. Weird stuff like shellac or whey or beeswax. So when in doubt whole produce is good.
