That's where I found myself this morning.
It is a vegetarian's/vegan's paradise.
It was our first visit this year.. and I believe only the second or third weekend it's been open. Yeah, Indiana.. not the easiest place to be meat-free. Fresh/local/organic produce is not something you can get year round here. But given my 30 Days of Vegan, starting on Monday, I thought this was the weekend to go.
Obviously, we picked up a few veggies, then some organic hummus. Lastly, we stopped by the baked goods.
While browsing the bread at the Farmers' Market, we asked if they had any that were vegan-friendly. The guy looked perplexed for a moment, so I said, "You know.. no eggs or dairy." He then asked, "Is yeast okay?"
Hmm. Not something I had thought about. But it took me all of half a second to say, "Yeah, that's fine."
Which left me wondering.. are there vegans against yeast? A quick Google search led me to conclude that nearly all vegans are fine with it, since technically, they're eukaryotic micro-organisms, like mushrooms (aka: fungus).. and aren't considered even close to sentient beings. Whew.
If there are vegans against killing micro-organisms.. it leaves me wondering if they wash their hands? ;)
After leaving the market, we made stop at Target, for some fruit (none available at the Farmers' Market yet), some non-dairy milk replacements, beans, and to look for the Kind Diet cookbook (vegan cookbook). Unfortunately, Target doesn't seem to be carrying it anymore. But they did have this one:
It has a recipe for vegan berry waffle recipe that looked absolutely delicious. And since it doesn't take much more than breakfast food to impress me, I picked it up.
Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be blogging all about my 30 Days of Vegan. The ups, the downs, and the crying.. when I really want a freaking piece of cheese.
Stay tuned :)
