at home there was chicken for dinner
i ate it
it was good
The clue is in the title... This is a diary of me trying to be a weekday-vegetarian. For my health and for my ecological footprint. As you can see it's proving to be a struggle with succes and failure. Luckily even half a succes means i'm still reding my meat intake significantly, and with this system i will gradually get a my goal :-) Feel free to join me!

Day 56: all you can eat sushi
Mostly fish, some chicken, yumyum!
Day 55: Tulips from amsterdam
Spent a day in Amsterdam, funfunfun.
bami with chicken and some shrimp springrolls for lunch from the market in Jordaan.
And chinese take-away for dinner, pork and chicken.
so meat with pleasure yet no beef which is the worst offender when it comes to producing greenhouse gasses.

Day 51: Exki
While i was out and about i indulged :-)
a vegetarian salad with fried tofu, yummy stuff
and a dark raisinbread - baguette with goat's cheese and sundried tomatoes
all at Exki, a pricy store but nice food.
Everything else was ok too.

Day 48-49: some meat
Although the weeked is the time for compensating the week by throwing a big meat-fest ... that doesn't seem to happen.
I think i ate some chicken on saturday morning, then a smos kaas for lunch and in the evening i went to a wedding that was completely vegetarian! Lots of yummy moroccan foods and quiches.
On sunday no meat at all because i'm switching with monday because my sister will be making steak :-)

Day 47: More succes
Smos kaas for lunch and something with rice, bananas, grapes and mushrooms for dinner, i passed on the chicken (don't know what that combination was, my sister made it, strange but not bad.)
Ok 2 out of 5, thats better than 1 out of five :-)

Day 46: Succes
Smos kaas & broccoli-soup for lunch and no real dinner (cent wafers are vegetarian :-))
Day 45: a few tiny pieces of ham
My sister made a fresh pizza for dinner, everything homemade, with fresh tomatoes and everything, very nice stuff!
She didn't put ham on my quarter but in the end i ended up with a bigger piece than 1/4 and at both edges i found a few pieces of ham ... and ate them.
So no complete succes and actually no meat was "not-consumed" (if you get what i mean) because she hadn't bought less meat than for all of us, she just put the 4/4th of the ham on 3/4 of the pizza.
So no actual reduction.

Day 44: i tried, they failed me
Smos kaas for lunch and then for dinner i went to Sven & An and we ordered pizza @ Pizza Hut,
i ordered a vegetarian one, but when we opened the boxes at their house, there were 3 pizza's with meat inside .. so i tried but didn't succeed.
I did enjoy the bbq-pizza very much :-)
