One Week is Nothing, Oprah
“The challenge is on! No meat, no milk, no animal anything. Oprah and 378 Harpo staffers go vegan for one week. Could you do it?” — Yes we can.
Two Weeks Vegan.
When friends and I started a vegan week two weeks ago, I couldn’t imagine any conclusions I would have come to by the end of this period. Now it has come. And here they are.
If you start eating vegan, even if it’s just for two weeks, most people will think you’re crazy. — The reason we did two weeks was that in the first week we met almost daily to share recipes and food. That...
Vegan Week: Day Three and Four
Busy days. Yesterday at Isa’s she offered vegan soup with roasted bean curd cubes and rice. Today, on day four, we had a lebanese feast at Rebecca and Josef’s with all kinds of bread, dips, pastes, too much to mention. I didn’t know that eating vegan could be this delicious, if you just try not to be too conventional. However, a neat website with great dessert recipes is...
Vegan Week: Day Two
Today: nothing special. Lots of unripe spelt grain bread again, this time topped with both bell pepper and ginger-chickpea paste, followed by crunchy wild berry spelt muesli in blueberry soyghurt. In the evening at a friend’s birthday party there was a vegan buffet, with noodle salad and bread and a delicious cashew spread. Oh, and vegan cherry brownies. Yummy!
Vegan Week: Day One

The Vegan Week
Friends and I just started a vegan week to determine if we’ll be able to live vegan, including food, attitude, and lifestyle, for one week. To vegans, that must sound weird—to non-vegans maybe even more. Isa and I just started with a glass of soy milk, I’ll keep posting my food and beverage encounters during these days here, on Tumblr. (Any consumption suggestions? Write me!)
Second day of 2011 and I don’t know where to begin. I kinda overslept the first day. Johannes Kleske shared a brilliant article in the Guardian on how to be a better person in 2011 (including abandoning resolutions). I stick to mine, though, as they seem fairly easy to adhere. But I started using LeechBlock to limit my time on Facebook. Hope that works out, it would be a blessing.
