Is that a beautiful site or what? We had some family members (Cheesesteak and kids, Mustachio and McRyan, and Don Prickles) come over for a brunch between conference sessions, and boy did we eat! Milk, bacon, eggs, cream cheese frosted cinnamon rolls--all of the essentials for breaking a vegan lifestyle. It was the greatest breakfast ever. It's like I fell in love again with animal products. I think I know what a bride might feel like when renewing her vows.My cousin (Shia) and her husband (Max the mustacheless) had us over for a truly vegan dinner, and I must admit that it was a delicious meal. I am still full too.
Here is what she made. Yams, collard greens, and coconut rice were yummy side dishes, with some "meat" with a jerk seasoning. Actually, I didn't like the greens, but the other stuff was excellent. It tasted really good. Shia explains more about it here.
This was dessert: a delicious chocolate cake with soy ice cream. Incredibly, these were also very good.

Vegan Summary
Overall, this experiment proved a few things. First, being a vegetarian is the way to go if you want to pretend to care about animals, health, or any of this other craziness. Being a vegetarian was a joke, and I really didn't notice a lot of difference. Second, being a vegan is tough. I didn't really give it a fair shot since I survived mainly on liquids and fruits (I was too busy to actually prepare a meal like the one above). It takes time, commitment, and the will power to avoid chocolate milk and steak. Finally, despite this great meal, I am still more likely to torture a dog as a vegan than as a heathen meat eater. Call me crazy, but I think a little meat in the system keeps me sane.
Final likelihood of torturing a dog: 20% (I dropped the likelihood a lot because I realized there is more to being a vegan than squeaky tofu.)
