It's my (vegetarian) anniversary!

Today is my 10th anniversary of being a vegetarian. I may be self-righteous about a lot of things, but because my vegetarianism was inspired by the book Skinny Bitch (which I cannot recommend), I could never feel morally superior about it. Despite its shady beginnings, it was the right choice for me and I have never looked back (except for one bite of a crab cake a month in, as I was deciding whether to become a pescatarian). As someone who doesn't cook, it has taken a village. My friends cook me vegetarian food, are patient through my reinventing restaurant menus, and help me find new vegetarian-friendly spots. I was a picky meat eater and going veggie has reduced my stress around food. It's been a delicious decade - here's to many more!
