8 years vegan, and counting!

Hard to believe.  Time flies, in a lot of ways.

Clearly, time flies between posts on this blog.  I don't know how or why I just get out of the habit of posting on food topics.  It's a sad state of affairs that it has been 6 months since my last post in this space.  There are so many great blogs out there that maybe I don't think my voice is important enough to add to the mix.  But of course my voice is important!  So I shall continue to post here erratically, as what better way to encourage readership other than to be inconsistent.

On another note, as of April 1, I will officially have been eating a vegan diet for 8 years!  Another example of how time flies.  I'm still enjoying the ride and thus will carry on.

Time flies

My 6th Veganversary went by with nary a mention.  I was just thinking about it and couldn't remember the year I started, but I thought it was 2009.  Turns out it was 2008!  Yes, the post is from 2009, I didn't start blogging until July of that year.  

Times have changed, for sure.  There are now so many great vegan options out there, more vegan cookbooks than a person can possibly read or own, more products, and more overall awareness.  All of these things are very good.

And, after 6 years, I've very much settled into a vegan diet.  I can't imagine going back, although a person can never say never.  Some sort of apocalypse, who knows.

Anyway, I made some chocolate chip cookies today and they were wonderful.  Further evidence that vegan food is damn good.  From Vegan Diner.

I decided to move the food-related topics from my other blog over to a new location.  While bikes and food certainly go together (at least in my world), it just felt like my blog was too much of a mish-mash of topics.  We'll try this and see how it goes.

And, the naming of this blog (for those of you who aren't old like me and get the reference) comes from one of my favorite Far Side cartoons.
