Happy World Vegetarian Day!!

Apparently it is also Vegetarian Awareness Month. Not sure who decided that or when it was decided…goes to look stuff up… “World Vegetarian Day was founded by the North American Vegetarian Society (NAVS) in 1977 and was endorsed by the International Vegetarian Union in 1978.”

World Vegetarian Month seems to be a little more modern and I can’t seem to find the origins of it, but what the heck? It’s a month to celebrate the veg life!! *dances*

So today begins a month of vegan food blogging. I was hoping to have some shots of wonderous vegan caramels, but it was not to be.

Not only did I drop the camera on the floor and have the button pop off and roll under the stove, I seem to have some slightly ok caramel sauce for “ice cream” instead. This is what happens when you have a lame candy thermometer that only has ticks for every 5 degrees. Guestimating doesn’t work in candy or caramel making. I should add a good one to our wedding registry.

Since I am now nearly out of sugar and light corn syrup, I cannot attempt it again until I get to the store and Boo has the car today.

We are also nearly out of wheat gluten. I hate being out of wheat gluten. I think we need to start ordering that stuff in bulk.

 Oooo… my LUSH order just arrived. I had a bridal shower (which was thrown by Boo’s family and was entirely vegan - I should have pix soon) recently and of the gifts, I received a couple LUSH gift cards. This order has all the new Toner Tabs in it. Very exciting.

Off to tone my face up.
