Well, I did it again. I got so drunk on Christmas cheer that I committed to another vegetarian-for-a-month plan. I told SuperBro about it over the phone on Christmas morning and he sounded genuinely excited about it. Then I caught a genuinely NOT excited look from my husband that was like "Funny, I don't recall discussing this." Fortunately, the experience last year was tolerable and I did not subject him to the more experiemental entrees (Cottage Cheese Loaf, Mung Bean Pancakes) so I think he will be OK. He hasn't said otherwise so I'm going for it. Or maybe he didnt' actually hear me when I was talking to Chip in which case this will come as a surprise to him.
I have not yet decided on a month, however. Initially, I figured March worked well last year, it would be good again this year. But there is one big problem.... my Dinner Party Club is having a chili cookoff in mid-March! Yes, yes. I am keenly aware of the fact that there is a plethora of delicious vegetarian chili recipes to be found. Yes, I realize that many of them are also quite tasty. Are you not aware that I MADE several of them last year? I'll have you know that I continue to include vegatarian Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili in my recipe repetoire. That is not the point. The POINT is that I would have to attend a chili cookoff where I would be unable to partake in the actual chili tasting. This does not sound like fun to me at all.
I wonder if Chip would give me an event pass for the cook-off if I agreed to something crazy like going vegan for a day in exchange. I'll have to propose that, but somehow it still feels like it would be cheating. Opinions welcome.
