For the most part, I have been successful in my vegan week attempt, but that has largely been because I planned and shopped accordingly. Well, day 5, my fiancé had an errand to run after work and there is a restaurant he likes near where the errand was. He asked if I wanted to go out to dinner. Normally, such a thing would thrill me, but instead I peeked at the menu and the only vegan thing on it wasn't anything I liked. So instead we ran the errand, then he ordered a pizza and I had my rice. I was so close to being done with vegan week, I couldn't quit now. Willpower. I also found out Sun Chips were vegan (not all flavors, but one kind I like is) and enjoyed some of those. I peeked at a few other restaurants in the area, and really there aren't a lot of options for vegans, which makes me wonder, do they not eat out a lot? Do restaurants make special stuff that they just don't post on their on-line menus? I really don't know. I don't know if there are any vegan restaurants in the area. I know they exist, but not sure if they are close by.
On an unrelated note, most sweets that I enjoy are not vegan, but I broke down and had Oreos this week. (They are vegan!). I'm not usually a big Oreo fan and truth be told, I rarely have them in the house. However, I do like Oreo balls (you mash up Oreos, mix them with cream cheese, roll them into balls, then dip them in chocolate--they are delish). I made Oreo balls for a friend's birthday a few weeks ago and had one unopened roll of Oreos left so I gave in to my sweet tooth and had two.

I LOVE oreos. I could eat an entire package and I am in awe that you could stop at 2!
