This is a tad non-arty, but last Thursday, I started this vegan “cleanse” thing … like the one Oprah did. I’m annoyed even just saying that. Anyways, a couple of my pals did it recently and felt amazing during and afterwards, so I thought I’d give it a go. Not only is it vegan, but also no gluten (goodbye bread!), no sugar, no caffeine, and no alcohol.
I had no idea that it would be caffeine that would do me in first. By Saturday, I had endured a three day headache, with no relief. I broke down and had some tea. Felt like a complete junkie, but got back “to normal” after a few minutes. Otherwise, I’ve generally been sticking to it, um, expect the chicken I had last night. I’ve made a lot of great vegan food, and living in San Francisco, have been able to eat out as well, with little problem (like Moya, this amazing Ethiopian place that has 100% teff flour injera bread, with no gluten).
But I’ve been so hungry and cranky that it’s been a touch difficult to concentrate. Thus, the longing look at the pile of doughnuts above.
So besides that, I recently worked on an amazing commission, which I’ll share soon.
