vegan cupcakes

two posts in one day, huh? i'll allow it.

YESTERDAY I MADE VEGAN CUPCAKES! the baking process was really nice and smooth and productive. i HAND MIXED icing for 12 minutes. it is so delicious. the cake, not so much, but i've got some idea of how to fix it for next time.

i haven't really been trying to be vegan lately. i haven't been keeping track of what i eat on this site i was using either. i think i need to focus on becoming a better vegetarian before i take the plunge into veganism, but i will continue to try vegan recipes and eat grilled cheese in the same day. i don't see anything wrong with that.

to me, eating is almost the same as personal spirituality. i can't stand overbearing religious people who dictate how to worship, and i certainly can't stand those who dictate what to eat and why not to eat other things. i've been a vegetarian for over three years, but i still eat chicken noodle soup from time to time. of course there is no actual meat in the soup, but it is made from chicken stock. does this make me an omnivore? no, i don't believe it does.

say i was a vegan. would putting margarine on my sesame seed bagel in the morning make me not a vegan because whey powder is listed near the end of the ingredients list? again, i don't think so. however, if i were to tell someone i was a vegan and then eat a grilled cheese sandwich, i wouldn't be a vegan. i'm not a vegan, so i should probably change my "being vegan" label.

i'm going to watch trekkies now.
