After having the Green Smoothie yesterday, along with such a filling dinner, I actually wasn't hungry today and didn't eat anything all day. But that didn't stop me from being tempted.
This morning I traveled with some classmates while they stopped off at a KFC to get something to eat. I didn't order a thing, nor did I eat a thing. But I wanted to. I was craving that warm, greasy, salty, spicy fried chicken like nobody's business. I can't wait till I get a food dehydrator.
As a side note, there is a rumor that KFC changed their name from Kentucky Fried Chicken because they don't actually use real chickens anymore...that they use laboratory chickens that they grow specifically for the purpose of eating them...and that these chickens have never seen the light of day. Is that true or just one of those rumors that are debunked on Snopes? I don't know, but just hearing it is enough to make me pause...but I still wanted some! LOL!
I managed to abstain though, and the funny thing is that I wasn't even hungry. So where was this craving coming from? Habit? Addiction? Emotion? I don't know. But it was enough to make me wonder.
This evening I prepared a Green Smoothie that I drank on my way to a meeting. At the meeting they had some snacks that I initially didn't want, but later I did eat something cooked...I ate some vegetarian potstickers with some ginger-tamari sauce...they were absolutely delicious. I'm going to have to figure out a way to make something similar raw vegan style.
The more I think about it, the more it may be very possible...traditionally the dough is steamed, though...I'll have to think of a way to make an edible raw vegan dough that I can use, and I'll just have some veggies that I cut up and put in the potstickers by the spoonful...the sauce is the easiest part.
