Vegetarian Times

Also, in addition to the laundry list of things noted below, I was also
a vegetarian for the month of October. Why, you ask, would I, a known
omnivore, restrict myself to non-meat items (except fish) for this
particular month that just ended?

Because October is Vegetarian Awareness Month, of course.

And actually, not eating meat the whole month was a lot easier than I thought. On a couple of occasions I was tempted to get me a nice buffalo chicken wrap or something. But other than that, it was pretty painless. Most annoying is the stuff you don't even realize. Like random meat flavoring in pasta sauce or chicken stock-based soups. But I'd recommend everyone to try it for at least a week. Maybe more.
