th ei fp .c a Th e IF P -H al to n H ill s | T hu rs da y, M ay 3, 20 18 | 44 Tuesday I'm owning this vegan lifestyle up until I get to the Raptors game with my fiancé. "Do you want to grab a drink?" he asks. "Sure." We walk to the bar and I order a caesar. I take a few sips, then the light bulb goes off. I look into my cup in hor- ror, then back at my fian- cé. "Clams!" I shout over the roar of the crowd. "What?" he shouts back. "There's clam juice in here." "Too late now," he says. So, I concede and drink my clam juice in shame. Wednesday In my office, Wednes- day is pizza and wings day. So, I come prepared with my own vegan fast food al- ternative: a Portobello mushroom veggie burger. It's really quite deli- cious, but the smell of piz- za and wings seeping into my workspace is still tor- turous. Thursday Thursday I manage to make gluten-free, vegan mac and cheese, using wa- ter, potato, onion, ca- shews, turmeric and sea- sonings to make the "cheese." It looks a little wonky and doesn't taste like cheese, but it's still palat- able, so that's a win in my books. Friday Friday night I'm with my fiancé and we order a vegan pizza to his house. It's a little slimier than regular cheese, but all in all, not too shabby. Saturday On Saturday I'm shop- ping for a birthday gift for my six-year-old cousin and the meat deprivation is kicking in. While perusing the toy store, I decide it would be funny to buy myself bur- ger-flavoured chap-stick (likely not vegan). Sunday "Make sure you docu- ment this," I tell my broth- er-in-law-to-be. Sunday is my engage- ment party, and the day I get to finally eat meat, so I bite into my veal and feel satiated. NEWS l Continued from page 43 What beauty products I changed for the week The Georgetown Sun- flowers' rhythmic gym- nastics team recently par- ticipated in an Ontario- wide competition in Lon- don, Ont., and returned home with several first-, second- and third-place ribbons.
