Another thing that most people don’t know about me is that ever since I started my new job, I fast every Friday while at work.

By fasting, I mean that I only drink water and don’t eat any food. I know that some people also don’t drink water in their fasts, but for some reason I think that is a step too far.

A few weeks ago, I decided to record all of the money that I spent. I didn’t make any changes to my spending habits, I merely documented them. I discovered that I spent a lot of money on food, junk food from the vending machines specifically.

Since then, I have been watchful about how I spend my money and how much time I spend going to the vending machines.

The way I figure it is that skipping a meal one day out of the week won’t kill me and I will save a little money as well.

I think this looks really good, even though I am allergic to peas. If I could eat things like this (even though they contain tomato, bean, peas and corn), I would consider eating more vegetarian meals.

I wonder if there are any vegetarian/vegan restaurants near me.

I guess it is past time that I take their number out of my cell phone and get them off of speed dial.

This isn't from them, but this looks good doesn't it?

Milk
Corn
Rye
Beans
Peas
Pepper

Eggs
Codfish

UPDATE: Tomato. I can’t believe I forgot that one.
UPDATE 2: Garlic and lamb should also be on the list.

I’m pretty sure there may be at least one more, but I cannot remember it right now. I will update this post if I can remember what it was.

Does anyone have any recipes that doesn’t include any of these ingredients?

Since then I have had lots of water, some chicken broth and some Jello.

What should I eat afterwards? Any suggestions?

Just because someone will EAT a brownie with frosting on it does NOT mean that some one will MAKE a brownie with frosting on it. Nope, won’t do it. Won’t do it at all.
