7 days agoThis is where I think active dietary restrictions make for interesting challenges towards forming new habits. I was only a vegan for one year, but trying to do that forced me to learn how to cook Indian food because that’s basically the most common cuisine that can be made vegan without too many drastic changes and still tastes amazing. I worked at an American grill restaurant in the Midwest and everything was either brown or white and basically unseasoned, so I made an arbitrary decision to try cooking with as many variously colored ingredients as possible and that too proved to be a fun experiment. Idk life is too short to just eat the same processed crap all the time
I remember asking a guy in the subway in NYC a question about which line took me to some place and he just said, “What do I look like? A map?” and walked off. It was like a cartoon. I been in Chicago now for 12 years and have never experienced anything like that
