Edit: I feel so filthy and cheated! I was sure Oreo’s were vegan but atleast here in Sweden they have whey! The first time we bought them they were imported oreo’s from the US and they were lovely and vegan 8and expensive!). Since then they’ve started being sold here in Sweden in almost every store. These are not US imported. The ones we get in our normal store isn’t vegan at all. Damnit! I feel so cheated and upset : /
Saturday was Alex’s birthday and he seems very happy about it. I was an awesome girlfriends and bought him 9 Discworld books as well as supplied him with baked goods and Homer Simpson socks. Who’s the man? You da man! (Yeah, that’s me.)
Now I’ve run out of energy and I’ve come down with a nasty cold. I’m so happy about those frozen soups now, I’m much too tired to cook.
Last week I went to the doctor to talk about my SAD. I’m not getting any medicine but I am going to start seeing a psychiatrist because they figure that might help. The doctor ran a lot of tests, she was really nice and friendly. Upon mentioning being vegan she asked me if I’d like her to do some additional tests just to make sure I wasn’t suffering from any vitamin deficiency. There was a lot of testing being done and they had to take quite a bit of blood (actually, it only LOOKS like it’s a lot of blood, but still it was scary!). Turns out almost everything about me is perfect. Perfect blood.. everything, pressure, sugar, value.. the lot. I’m fine for b12 and the other essentials too. The only thing that was off was my liver. when she phoned me up she asked if I was either taking lots and lots of pain killers or if I’m drinking lots of alcohol. I don’t do either so they’re going to do another test in a couple of weeks. I’ve read up about it on the internet and the other things that can cause this is lots of fatty foods or being on the pill. Maybe the doctor didn’t think I ate much fat, because you know, vegans are so healthy and they never eat fat… um, but I’m going to cut down my fat intake drastically and we’ll see if that makes a difference. I might be vegan but it’s not lettuce that built this very voluptuous body. If that doesn’t work I might have to go off the pill. We’ll just see.
Anyway, before going on this fat free ‘diet’ we had a party to attend. So yesterday we went to a friends house to celebrate Alex’s birthday and the hosts up coming birthday. Here’s what I brought!
Delicious cookies n’ cream cupcakes. I <3 Isa! I ordered Vegan Cupcakes but it ran out of stock so this is a recipe from online.
Vegan homestyle chocolate chip cookies. Dreena is a vegan goddess!
We made a few changes to this one. Mainly, have no blackstrap molasses, we didn’t use a 1/3 cup maple syrup, instead we used half maple and half golden (maple is SO expensive here).
