Home Sweet Home

I can't even to tell you how excited I was to see the Talmadge Bridge.

(Then I was really concerned about thinking that previous thought)

What a vacation. =). I indeed had a blast. Except for I fell off the Vegetarian wagon, I gained about 10 pounds of deliciousness that is home cooking. And I am flat broke.

HAHAHAHA

That is really what a vacation is all about.

I already blogged about NYC, which I can't say enough how fucking amazing it was.

I am in ♥

So lets chat a bit about Norwalk. I had an AMAZING time in Norwalk. I saw my future retirement. Not exactly Norwalk, but it will be up in the north east coast. Maine is my ideal. The boats, the water, the cold, the lighthouses. A Nicholas Sparks' novel... if you catch my drift!






After Norwalk and surrounding areas, we continued our trip to
the mitten. The drive itself was horrendous, ha, New York is not the best state to drive through from point to point, it was frigid, long and kind of boring. Once out of NY, we went through Pennsylvania and Ohio...really those two were a bit boring also. Once in Michigan, we were basically in Detroit!!! Which made the rest of the drive seem short.

Detroit was everything we expected it to be, we got fucked up!! Thank you Doyles. The Cuttys were pretty much amazing and we met some amazing people and everyone showed us a good time.



We went into Detroit, I was shocked at the city and the mess. Such a beautiful city, amazing architecture, amazing, amazing, except for the lack of care. God if I had billions and billions what I would do!

This picture below is of the Michigan Central Station. Back in the day, it was the center of all. Now, its a hot shitty mess. Click here to see the inside of the building, the rooms, the interior,
its sick how beautiful it is. It would make the most
awesome apartment building.

Anyway, we are so glad to be home, to see our Rosie Mae and just to be in our own beds.

What a fucking wonderful time we had.

Veat

last night we had veat chik'n free nuggets, we made them in the oven and had them with a homemade honey mustard dipping sauce.

You know they weren't really that bad...

I'm totally buy this product again, I've read some great recipes and really, for any recipe that calls for chicken you can totally use this instead.

Here's what we had

Since TK day...

we've been slacking...

let me catch you up.

Thanksgiving was my last day as a meat eater. I'm doing it, I'm giving up the meats. I've been wanting to do this for a while and I feel like this is the perfect time in my life to do this. It's going to be nearly impossible, but I am going to give it my all. I have been eating meat for the last 26 years, but I feel that maybe its hasn't been the best thing for me. Regardless, the main reason is the cruelty of animals, especially in America.

GoVeg.com is an amazing website and tool for those interested in becoming vegetarian or even those who have been meat free for a while. They have a vegetarian starter kit. When I first got my "kit" I expected it to be a kit, but it ended up being a pamphlet. Well let me just say that it was a very powerful pamphlet and honestly within five minutes of reading, I never wanted to eat an animal again. ( Click here for your free vegetarian starter kit )

To me it just makes sense.

Check these out, ( If you have weak stomachs...don't read or watch these videos )

Chicken

Cows

Pigs

But I'm learning that as I read more and more and look at recipes for non meat meals, its not going to be that hard.

The thing that I need to work on is being able to eat Tofu. I'm not so much against the taste but it's the texture that gets me.

So I will keep you guys posted as my journey of learning to like vegetables continues.
