    During these few weeks I have been eating at least one vegetarian meal per day.  I am learning that there are some really interesting vegetarian dishes out there.  Went out to lunch at a ramen place in the neighborhood and instead of my usual pork filled ramen I chose the Hazelnut Tantanmen. Miso tare, hazelnut broth, bok choy, shiitake, leeks and miso cashew crumbles.  Oh my freaking god.  So good.  I want some now.

    Too many people on their cell phones not really experiencing life.

    It is easy to take a 5 minute shower when you are bald.

    Trying to be more mindful of using our own leftover containers when eating out.

    Although I might not go full veggie this month, I am definitely going to be more mindful of my meat intake over the next few weeks.  When there is a veggie option, I will go for that.  There was some food leftover from a meeting yesterday here on the 2 floor.  Meat and veggie options.  I skipped the meat for the vegetables.

    Over the years I have done 30 day (or more) challenges with myself.  Most of these are food related.  My plan is to go veggie for a good portion of October.
