My Vegan Mondays

I've been remiss lately. If not with actually eating vegan on Mondays (which, admittedly, I didn't last week) than at least with posting about it. But I'm back on the Vegan Mondays!

Morning
Coffee with soy milk
Oatmeal with dehydrated raspberries

Afternoon
Falafel pita
Fuji apple

Evening
A homemade butternut squash salad
Jelly beans, lots and lots of jelly beans

Despite the jellies, I'm trying to cut back on sugar. And, gah, despite the jellies, I had a boost of renewed motivation after reading Mark Bittman's cover story on healthy fast food for the New York Times Magazine yesterday. Did you read it? If you still have it at home, be sure to read it. And then turn it over and check out the ad on the back cover—written by yours truly.

  2. Maybe Mark will make vegans of us all?
    I hope so. I think he's terrific. But cutting back on sucre in Paris?

  3. Amy!
    I can't believe you're still going strong inParis!
    When we met for a drink at La Palette (maybe it was 2010?) I had the feeling you were going away soon...?
    Anyway, very happy for you!
    Your blog: entertaining as ever!
    I've since moved to Chile and am working in advertising (who knew?) while other music & film passions boil away...
    All the best,
    Isabel

  4. You know that if your jelly beans are made with gelatin, they're not vegan? (Veganism can be tricky...)

    Thanks for the article. Hurray for healthy fast-food! Midtown Manhattan is in dire need of it!

  10. Ahh I love the ONE57 units! But they're just a little out of reach... ;)

  11. GAH! Duchesse, you're right! I forgot about the gelatin in jellies (probably because it's such a gross concept). Zut, I will have to be especially good this coming Vegan Monday. Thanks for reminding me! Carolg, can you indulge for me??

    Isabel, so great to hear from you!! Thank you for resurrecting a fantastic Paris memory of meeting you! So happy to hear life is good and - oui, strange - that you're in advertising!

    Kathy, maybe if we pool our nickels - or start a kickstarter campaign - we can land one of the more modest units at ONE57!
