Confession

I cannot tell a lie. It took until March, but I was finally unable to keep my vow and abstain from the object of one of my monthly challenges. I went and had dinner at a friend's place just a couple of nights ago. Everything was great, except I had completely forgot to tell him I was eating vegan. Rather than tell him last minute, I instead opted to keep my mouth shut, since he tends towards vegetable heavy meals anyway.
Well, dinner proved to be no problem, as it was a stir fry dish. He has some young kids who were not overly fond of eggplant (a big component of the meal) so I cannily traded the chicken in my dish for their eggplant and maintained the integrity of the March challenge.

Unfortunately, I forgot about dessert. I have had a real cookie craving, and a gingerbread cookie is next to impossible to resist. And I couldn't. So I consumed something that had an egg in it. I didn't really think about it, but I should have. At least I can say it was made with a soya margarine, and so still haven't had any dairy. Nor have I had any meat, just the egg. I really thought I would have slipped up sooner when I started, but now I feel a bit bummed that I made it this far and screwed up. I thought I would be able to maintain a perfect clean record. Some things just aren't meant to be.
