So, of course, making a change from being a meat eater to being a non-meat eater is a pretty big change, especially after 30 years of eating meat. I mean, who knows how it is going to affect your body, your way of thinking, your actions and reactions, your functions. Who knows until you do it?
So, tonight I thought I was going to be in trouble food-wise. A group of really great friends and I went to Toro Bravo for a close friend's birthday. It's a tapas-style place. I love tapas. But I've only had tapas as a meat eater. Never as a vegetarian. As soon as I glanced at the menu I thought I was doomed - everything I've ever had tapas style has been bacon-wrapped this or meatball that. Let me just say that not only was I pleasantly surprised but I am now home and I am SO stuffed I think I need to do TWO yoga sessions tomorrow morning to work all of this food off!
It was amazing. It invoked thoughts of things from WAY back that I hadn't thought about in a (obviously) very long time. The food was spectacular, the wine was intoxicating, the company was wonderful - I couldn't have asked for a better Friday night. The end to a VERY long week! Thank you T, R, B, R, S - you are all wonderful people and I had such a great time.
Thank you!!!

Hey Wendy - yeah, I got to explore a bit more when I went to that Indian wedding in Seattle. WOW - their food (Southern India) seemed to be more veggies and not really a whole lot of curry. There were a few spicy dished but overall it was delicious and so full of nutrients!! I was lucky - the entire spread was vegetarian! :o)
Thanks for the response!
