Just one more day to go..
I feel like I should have something profound to say about this journey. So, hopefully, it comes to me in time for tomorrow's blog. ;)
Today was pretty normal. Though I was excited to get a package of stuff that I'd ordered from Farm Sanctuary. Got a calendar, some window decals, a signed copy of Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food, and an eco-bracelet.

Tonight, I made vegan banana bread (and proceeded to eat almost three slices before sitting down to write this blog.. but let's not dwell on that.)
You know an upside to vegan baking, that just dawned on me tonight, as I was staring at the mixing bowl? No eggs = no salmonella/food poisoning. That means.. you can lick all the mixing bowls, spatulas, and beaters to your heart's content.
You're welcome. ;)
So, I'm off to sleep.
I promise tomorrow's blog will be longer and hopefully more reflective on what I've learned, and what I'm choosing to do with that knowledge.
I just wanted to warn you that there are two risks involved in eating dough - the raw eggs AND the raw flour. This is just one article about it, but there are others. So I advice against eating dough. Sorry!

"One study that looked at commercial wheat flour samples found almost 13 percent contaminated with E. coli. The investigators also pointed out that wheat flour can also be contaminated with Salmonella, and that flour-based mixes have previously been implicated in outbreaks of food-borne illness."
In fairness, most foods have been a catalyst for some illness, via contamination at some point. Such as the recent salmonella outbreak from cantaloupes.. But I'm sure not going to start cooking all my fruit. ;)
