Last week I spent the evening with one of my favorite friends discussing veganism. Vegan is the removal of all animal products and bi-products from your meal, including eggs, honey, and fish. The word vegan can be confused as I believe vegan means a combination of vegetarian and animal, implying that you can eat vegetables and meat. Truth be known, vegan is the removal of all animals from your menu, including not wearing leather because it came from an animal. I learned quite a bit about the ways to prepare meals and drinks. It is not that hard once you make the connection between Vegan, Vegetarian, Pescatarian, and any other classification used to describe your lifestyle choice for eating. Substituting white beans or cashew nuts for a cream sauce is a quick and easy way to add cream to your dinner without using milk-based products.
As a newbie to the Vegan lifestyle, I made many mistakes in preparation, beginning with a leather-based highball glass to serve a vegan drink made of bourbon, soda water, and lime. And ending with dinner, I prepared a chicken EnchiRana using ingredients that are products of animals. Kelly was a good sport, and we had fun; thank you for participating!!
