Pesce Week 9: The Latening

So here we are at week 9. I didn't post this on Friday, but my rules simply state once a week, not specifically which day. So today officially marks two entire months of being pescetarian. I haven't slipped up once, the closest I've gotten is having to fish out beef from a minestrone once or not eating a slice of pizza I grabbed. I'm kinda out of ideas of what I should post here right now. How about this, I challenge all of you readers to go pescetarian for just one month to try it out. That way you realize, it's not all that hard to do. If just one person does it... I'll do something in return. I don't know yet, it's to be decided. Well until next week.

Notoriously,
Mandog

Pesce Week 8: The Foodsening

So week 8, what can I say. I've found myself wishing for something with meat in it more than I used to. That's a change. I find myself bored with these posts since I don't have much to post about aside from, "Oh, it's been a week, I haven't failed yet...."

I do have a recipe I found and then modified by changing ground beef to ground fake beef.

Pasta Shell Tacos

A pound of ground beef (I used a package of Morning Star Meal Starters something... the ground beef)
1 package of cream cheese
Taco seasoning
Large pasta shells (I fit 16 filled ones into a dish)
Salsa of your choice
Cheddarjack cheese (or maybe a mexican blend) shredded
Taco sauce

Heat the oven to 375°. Cook shells according to direction (boil them until tender pretty much). Prepare a 9x13 dish and pour salsa on the bottom. Brown the beef (or heat the faux beef) and mix the taco seasoning to direction. Add cream cheese and heat until homogeneous. Arrange the shells in the baking dish and fill. Top the 'tacos' with taco sauce and bake for 15 minutes. Top with cheese and crushed tortilla chips if desired. Bake for an additional 15 minutes. Top with sour cream, guacamole and/or anything else desired. ENJOY!

They were really bomb, my family ate the non-meat with pleasure (just my parents, the other two weren't eating at home that night). So now that you have that recipe try it out. I'll catch you guys next week.

Until then,
Mandog

Swearing this counts,

Pesce Week 6: The Etymologicalening

So it's the end of Week 6 and I'm still going strong, I have yet to use a day pass, and I have no overwhelming desire to do as such. That being said Wednesday was a little painful, we went to Red Robin for dinner and I couldn't get my favorite burger from there, the Royal Red Robin Burger which is burger with egg, cheese and bacon on it. Instead I ended up getting their Bleu Ribbon Burger sub BOCA, which was delicious, and a Rootbeer float which was only $.50 more than a soda with free refills on the float. Yes, that is right, for $2.99 you can have as many refills on a rootbeer float as you would like. It was heavenly.

So last night Matt Veronica, who is graduating as I type this, had mentioned that he doesn't believe someone is a vegetarian if they just eat cheese pizzas and don't eat vegetables. Now I disagree with this, but etymologically he is kinda correct, since the veget- does refer to vegetables. He offered another name for people who didn't eat meat, nonmetatarians... which would mean nothing going off of etymology. Yeah, I'm just saying Matt, that's a retarded suggestion.

So there's my post for week 6, only 30 more to go. I look forward to having more to write on. Until next time.

Indifferently,
Mandog
