For breakfast my sister remembered my vegetarian adventure so there were mushrooms in the omelette she was making. Good of her!
For lunch: smos kaas
And then for dinner my sister made cordon blue .. and i ate it, would have eaten it in the morning anyway
I need to provide her some vegetarian recipes :-) !!

Day 39: again mega-dinner
For my going away party at work we went to have a traditional chinese dinner.
Lots of pork, chicken, beef, fish, shrimp and duck!
Big chinese feasts are not the time to go vegetarian :-)

Day 37: big big dinner at work, mega-fail
For lunch there was a huge buffet, lots of meat :-/
But very yummy :-)
I had actually arranged the buffet myself and could have made it so that at least have the food was vegetarian, thought of it too late.
He/she who has the power needs to make the choice to make vegetarian items readily available, so the all the eaters have to do is choose at the table.

Day 33: Double fail
Very busy day, so at lunch i took a simple solution, lasagna bolognese, with ground beef. Yummy but not allowed!
And then late in the evening after training went for a "mitraillette" with one of the bro's, thus eating chicken, bad bad me!

Day 32: no probs, and then oops
The day started out great with that yummy baguette from last night that i salvaged from the frigde, salad bar with feta!
Then for lunch there was a vegetarian dish available, check!
And then in the evening i went to the graduation ceremony of students from the courses i will be managing in my next job starting next week, and there was a reception ...
Wasn't interested in fishing out the "veggie-or not" bits so i ate a bit of trout-mousse and some chicken curry, the rest was ok i think.
So apart from a few grams of fish and chicken, today was ok.

Day 31: lots of leftovers
For breakfast I started the day with several hamburgers that were over from last night. So on the one hand that's good because eating something veggie while throwing away meat... that's stupid and in the end even more resources are being used. On the other hand, those burgers were cooked with me in mind, they already had my name on them in the evening... so actually I didn't eat leftovers in the morning, I merely postponed eating the This werkmeat from the evening. This will improve over time with properly informing the family, or with moving out ofcourse.
For lunch i chose a feta-salad, I wonder if that's an intended timing by the chef so that more days have a vegetarian option?
And for dinner i had made a baguette with the leftovers from the salad, yumyum, but i forgot it at work in the fridge :-(
So for dinner i ended up eating half a meal of not so yummy whole grain rice with some fruit out of a can and not the fishsticks that were made for me. Yep, a talk with the family is needed.

Why again am i doing this?
My own health and putting in my 2 cents against climate change.
Take a look at this talk by Jeremy Rifkin, if you don't have time, skip to 17:19 and you'll know why and why it's so important to reduce my beef-intake.
If you have a little more time, please watch the whole thing, its a vitally important message for our future!! Seriously it's a good and inspiring talk!

Day 30: succes
no breakfast so no sinning there :-)
For lunch i ate a vegetarian pasta, thanks to the restaurant at work, good stuff, need to learn how to make that.
For dinner my sister made a bunch of hamburgers, and i succesfully fought the desire to eat one, boy that wasn't easy.
I think i even almost licked one, just for the taste of it, the meat dealers have there claws deeply locked into me :-) but i prevailed!
ps: tomorrow morning i ofcourse will have to eat some of those burgers as leftovers, we can have waste, no sir!
Day 29: i worked hard, gimme meat :-)
Holiday today, a friend came over to help with the post-fire cleanup, we each spent about 5 hour in the bathroom, scrubbing every surface about 4 times.
So i ate chicken curry on a piece of bread because i wanted to :-p
And since the veggie-day was screwed anyway, i joined the family in eating spaghetti bolognese, containing a small amount of ground meat.
Let me point out here that i'm not eating steaks or whole chickens when i'm breaking the rules :-) my meat intake is still pretty low.

Day 27-28
Over the weekend I didn't binge on meat, some meaty charcuterie, and a roasted chicken for the whole family, that will be about it methinks.

Day 24-26: ehm think it was ok and then everything failed
don't remember wednesday, probably was ok.
Between wednesday and thursday we had a fire in the house (3 o clock at night), oops, got lucky that the fire was noticed by other people who woke us up or we all might have died.
During the time after the fire I ate pastry and "smos kaas", in the evening (we could stay in the house, but no electricity or gas) we ordered home delivery: I dutyfully ordered a vegetarian dish but without realising it at the time, I ate some of the chicken starter :-)
Friday i started with chicken leftovers from yesterday (say NO to waste!), had a vegetarian salad-bar lunch with a "roggeverdommeke" and for diner said "screw it" and bought some hot pita-chicken sandwiches for the family cause they are warm and yummy, and i was driving my bike through the cold and rain.

In the restaurant at lunch: not a single vegetarian option except salad-bar, but the turkey "pavé" looked so good :-) and i didn't bring bread to go with it.
And since today is a fail anyway, ate spaghetti bolognese in the evening :-)
