When you come across a vegan treat in a store that isn’t usually vegan, do you ever feel like you just have to buy it? That happened to me last night. We were at Ralphs for just a couple of items and for some reason I stopped to look at some mini-pies in the bakery section. They were dutch apple and vegan. I immediately felt like I had to buy one even though I didn’t really want pie. I don’t know if I subconsciously worry that I’ll never come across it again or if I feel like I should try every vegan thing I stumble upon.
I didn’t buy it, for the record. I just thought about it for longer than anyone should have to think about a pie.
A Vegan in Progress 
I did that recently with some instant pho noodles.
I ended up hating them and giving the other box away to a friend. Hah.
But yes, sometimes I feel, “OMG MUST TRY, THIS MAY BE AWESOME AND A NEW STAPLE IN MY PANTRY!”
Other times, I just put my head down and DO NOT look at anything than what’s on my grocery list in fear of going over my budget.
Exactly! It’s like, “Oh, hello vegan dessert. You belong in my cart.”
Hehe – I’m tempted, and give in all too often, to vegan cookies! I love Uncle Eddies Vegan Cookies – yum!
