The burrito had white rice, black beans (NOT the brown pinto beans, which are cooked in bacon), sauteed peppers and onions, lettuce, tomato, and the hottest sauce they have. I also got a side of chips and guacamole.
This meal was simply divine. My burrito did not include: steak, pork, chicken, sour cream, or cheese, but was nevertheless quite fulfilling.
This morning I woke up to another bowl of cereal and soy milk, this time Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It was about as good as the rest of the cereal I've eaten in my life, so not much to report there.
Lunchtime was when things got interesting. King Cafe sells there "Hummus and Pita combo", which had been an occasional snack during my carnivorous zenith. I anticipate that hummus will be a big part of my life during this experiment.
For dinner, I made pasta. I specifically made sure that I used pasta with no eggs, and I did not use any sauce for fear of exposure to cream.The only other ingredients were garlic salt, olive oil, and basil. Overall, a tasty and healthy meal that required no withdrawal from my own comfort zone.
Talking with my friends about this project has been interesting. Many of them are more conservative-leaning, and consider eating meat to be "part of the natural order" (a direct quote from my friend Ryan). Their prediction is that I will go back to eating as normal when the trial is over next Friday. I'll have to wait and see how I feel before I decide to either concede or prove them wrong.
