Expect Problems And Eat Them For Breakfast

"Expect problems and eat them for breakfast." -Albert A Montapert 

Being the only vegan in a house of very avid meat-eaters and being the one who helps PREPARE the food is an experience I don't think I prepared myself for.

I work for a jewelry manufacturer, to give you a little background, and every year there is a jewelry show in Vegas called JCK (Jewelers Circular Keystone). So for several days during June, we pack up and some of us go down to the show. We rent a house and bring people over, feed them food, and sell them jewelry.

This is my first year attempting vegan-ism on this trip and it hasn't been easy. They had me preparing all kinds of meat...everything from Salmon, chicken, pulled pork, steak, bacon, pretty much every kind of meat there is. So I spent six days eating leftover salad, fruit, veggies, leftover appetizers and trail mix. Of course my stomach yearned for something more substantial since I was not eating nearly the amount of fruits and veggies I normally do, but I took it as an exercise  in strength!
