The Day I tried Vegan food

Most of you know my tendency toward all things green in the sense of environmentally conscious living. There is just one thing I cannot control myself over, nor do I think I'll ever change: I like to eat meat. Once, I read Skinny Bitch and went vegan for a month as a personal experiment. It went well but in the end I decided it just wasn't for me.
However, I have a good friend who happens to be a sweet little pescetarian. So one day, we decided to go on an adventure to a raved-about vegan hot spot called Pure Food and Wine. I was timid, because many have said their entrees are delicious even for us omnivores. I was pleasantly surprised.

And to cap off our fantastic meal, we saw and spoke to Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch as we walked out :) Evening well done. Well done indeed.
