Okay so I suck at blogging

August 27, 2008

Hi all readers who have not abandoned me through lack of posts. I want to admit it now – I am a bad blogger. I have always been a bad blogger – despite my vain attempts to keep a journal when I was younger, I never made it past a few days without feeling like I had written the most self indulgent rubbish ever produced and destroying it outright. I thought this would be different because it is cataloging a very big change in my life, but I suppose not!

I am doing very well. I am still going strong on the vegan front and learning new things all the time. I made seiten for the first time last week and I think mine was at least as good as the one I got at a restaurant. I went a little crazy and bought a bunch of vegan cookbooks as well – so even though I haven’t been blogging, I’ve been cooking up a storm. The problem is I’m more interested in eating the food than writing about it! However, I promise to dedicate myself a little better.

I have a few restaurants I’d like to write about, a few recipes and a few news items. I might even do one tonight before I go to bed. However, I wanted to let people know my big background task:

I am trying to find an Australian (preferably Sydney) based company who makes vegan face/skin care products, whose ingredients list doesn’t deeply upset me.

So far this has been a difficult task. The more I’ve come to learn about chemicals in my work, the more I’ve applied it in my day-to-day life. If you thought the restrictions of being vegan were repressive, its nothing compared to reducing chemical exposure!

I promise to report back. Pinky swear touch thumbs!
