It's a whole new year!

I thought I'd start the new year with a post in this blog. I'm considering using this one as a separate entity from my LiveJournal. LJ for friends and random blathering, and Blogger for stuff that is of interest to more than just a few of my friends. Well, perhaps of interest to more than a few. Either way though, I think this neglected blog will be the place for my links and discussion of one current aspect of my life; going vegetarian.

I'd mentioned this to Jeff in passing when we began dating (back when I was still working in a steakhouse as a cook) and he scoffed at the idea. Fast forward to May 2006 and he brings it up out of the blue as a way to get healthier. Right around this same time his allergist told him his childhood allergy to seafood was gone. The conflict since then has been balancing a desire to try these once forbidden foods with a desire to be vegetarian. Seafood is mostly relegated to consumption during sushi dinners out of the apartment but I think Jeff has safely explored and proven he's not allergic by now. And I toy with the idea of being vegan as I cut many sources of milk and yogurt out of my diet and replace them with soy products. (I haven't gone so far as to avoid it as an additive to other foods, yet.)

This blog will hopefully be interesting. Some musings. Some recipes I've tried. Article links. Reviews of restaurants. Well, unless I get distracted like last year and never post a thing past New Year's Eve.
