 Hi, everyone!

Well, the taste-testing operation was, on the whole, a pretty significant failure. 

The kettle corn was really good, but that was about it. All of the dairy substitute products (including the yogurt I thought I liked when I tried it before) have bad textures (namely, way too hard/dense) and a violently offensive aftertaste that can only be described as "stale coconut farts." The Hippeas had kind of a funky aftertaste, although not nearly as bad as the Babybel rounds or the "cream cheese." 

To reward myself for surviving such indignities, I decided to invoke my right to order in once per week today, and I ordered in from the only vegan place in town. I got a grilled buffalo chickpea flatbread with vegan mozzarella (that did NOT taste like tropical toots,) roasted corn, little bits of tomato, chickpeas, pickled onions, and green onion. Y'all, look how gorgeous this thing was: 


It was a good bit spicier than I typically like, but it was 100% worth it. (I drank, like, a quart of water while I was eating it.) It was so good! 10/10 would get it again, although they have a few other items I'm interested to try as well. Most of their items have nut products in them, but some don't, and I'm excited to try those. 

Oh, and the vanilla version of the vegan protein powder came in the mail today. I'll be trying it out tomorrow and I'll keep you posted. 

Also, for the record, I did not forget to weigh in this morning-- I just forgot what the number was between then and now. Derp. 🥴

Until next time,

Simone

 Hi, everyone! 

Look at me, remembering to blog two days in a row! (Did I remember to weigh in this morning? Shhh, we don't talk about that.) 

The sharks have officially departed, and I am feeling much better. 

Today we had to sign up for our oral exam time slot for that Church History midterm I was telling you about. I signed up for 1:20 PM on Friday, and it's a twenty-minute exam. (If you are the praying type, I would much appreciate it.) So, I'll go to Mass at noon on campus, hike back up to the theology/philosophy building, take my exam, and then catch the 2:45 bus home. (I need to make sure I know where my bus pass is-- note to self.) Or I could just walk home, if the weather's not too bad. 

I also posted a quick note earlier today about what I'm doing for Lent (at least the fasting aspect) this year. Check that out if you haven't yet. 

Not much else to say. It's going to be an interesting week with that midterm coming up, but hopefully it will go well. Otherwise, I'm feeling good and on track. It feels good to be working toward my goals, and I like that I get to share it with you guys as well. 

Until next time,

Simone

Sunday, 9 February 2025

Hi all,

Just a quick check-in today. I forgot to weigh myself this morning (which happens from time to time) which is a bit embarrassing, but I'll do it tomorrow. It was a good, on-plan day otherwise. 

Until next time, 

Simone
