40 days and 40 nights Adventure: Day 2

Dear George,

Day two and all ready i'm struggling. I'm usually fine when i give things up for lent, i think i'm finding it hard because i'm thinking about it too much.  It was easy not to bother with sugar in my tea or grab a sandwich rather than a burger for lunch, these things are better for me anyway.  Now, you see i'm having to think hard about all my meals.

   I just read that last sentence back to myself and i can see that this is not greatest adventure i've every been on but you'll have to take my word that this is up there with being the most challenging.  I went to the supermarket today for my weekly shop.  all my lunches and dinners are planned out until Wednesday (the day i decide whether or not to go back to meat).  For lunch i enjoyed fish fingers, mashed potatoes and baked beans nyum nyum nyum!  Dinner was a little more tricky, veg has always been a side dish for me, so what would be the heart of the meal? While i idly gazed about the kitchen, trying to come to terms with the foolish things i do just to have something to write about, i glanced upon a vegetarian cook book, gathering dust on a shelf.  I laid it out in front of me, closed my eyes and threw open the book to a random page... that is why i had cauliflower cheese this evening (with roasted Mediterranean veg!).  It was yum-tastic.

that's two days of being a vegetarian.  only two days... i can feel my tummy rumbling, the veg is just not enough for my savage man body.  I may have to have some toast before bed.  Please please please send me your veggie recipes.  I promos to make them and write about them...thrilling stuff i'm sure you'll agree.

Outside it's 10*C and stamps are 46p

Take care buddy,
Yours,
Little Dave
