it's over...

...and it ended with the best roast veggies and onion gravy i've ever made.
i just finished the thirty day vegan easy challenge.
i consumed/purchased no animal products (including products tested on animals) for a month and it was a sinch - hardly a challenge at all!
if you click the vegan easy catagory at the bottom of this post, you'll see a zillion delicious things that i cooked and ate over the month of march.
i didn't miss or crave meat or dairy once, i lost two kilos, my insides feel amazing and my heart is happy!

i blogged this month long challenge to give an inside scoop on veganism and try to shake the common myth of vegans eating rabbit food and living off salad and lentils.
i think i sucessfully proved that you can eat amazing (and junky) food without a single animal or their by-products being used or killed!
veganism - easier than you think, and the earth will love you for it :)

rant, done.

food guilts.

i ate a fair bit of take-away yesterday, tried to make myself feel less guilty by eating grapes...
i even brought leftovers for lunch and everything but the smell of indian, it was too much!
i had a chickpea and potato curry and some spicy eggplant and potato curry with a pakora.
post-pakora and thieving two pappadums from my friend's plate, i ate about three mouthfuls of curry... extra guilt.
dinner was thai sweet potato curry puffs, spring rolls, satay veggies and black bean tofu.

guilty, but satisfied!
p.s pictures are horrible but there was no time to focus, mouthwatering food was waiting.

yesterday when i was swiftly walking home (to avoid the imminent thunder storm) i noticed how many awesome flowers i pass every day.
i considered stopping and taking pictures but screw that, it was about to get wet.
so i left home a bit earlier this morning to allow for photo taking time and this is the result :)
