So I told another Tallahassee friend and her boyfriend the news (that I went veg) when they came over for dinner and Cranium/American Idol tonight. I tried not to make a big deal about it, especially since we already had a dinner planned that was involving meat. We did a pork and green pepper stir fry. I just didn't serve myself any pork and added cashews again. Oh- and we had a side salad. It was a pretty good dinner I think. (Especially because they brought over a bottle of wine! ^^) Breakfast was an orange and trail mix. Snack (lunch?) was a whole wheat bagel with veggie cream cheese. Other snack was El Monterey frozen spicy bean and cheese chimichanga with guacamole.
As for how she took the news- it was pretty much the same as the friend I told yesterday. She asked me why, said she didn't think she could do it but whatever, and make sure you don't live off of salad or straight tofu. Stuff like that. She was really nice about it and supportive. I don't know, I figure if I tell the people I hang out with then it won't be so hard...but it's going to be surprisingly hard telling my meteorology friends because they all seem to be meatatarians even if they're going into climate change studies. Seriously- whenever we eat on campus they only want to go to Chili's or Hardees. The only veg stuff at Hardees is fries, onion rings, sodas/milkshakes and cookies. And Chili's only has a "black bean" burger and soups and salads- but you have to ask them to not put on bacon (or cheese if you're vegan). That's it. Hopefully though they won't just go to burger places on the trip and so I'll actually have menu selection...
