Well you win some and others.... As per Creamboy's instructions I have turned my life (partially) over to the roll of the dice. Today as I was pondering about vegans and their dire lack of B12 I took a gamble and now I am locked into a vegan experiment.
I will become a temporary vegan for two weeks commencing Saturday the 1st of September. What I need is a volunteer to make me a meal/shopping plan because I am a spaz an example of this is last night I was exhausted and after I fed the cat I ate three spoonfuls of nutella out of the jar and declared that dinner. So Creamboy and his rampant vegans I'm looking to you for clear ideas on what the hell to eat for two weeks otherwise it'll be toast, sorbet and coffee. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going back to my roast beef sandwich.

and in case you're worried about B12

The menu plan is pretty full-on and wouldn't be one that I'd follow to the letter. But it has some great recipes and ideas. Just in case you think I spend my entire life cooking, I usually have tea and toast for Brekkie (lots of variations on 'toast' though,-beans, vegemite, blackberry jam, avocado, peanut butter, fresh tomato and herbs etc)
Lunch (if I remember), a wrap or sandwich with lots of salad and seitan, baked bean jaffles, or 2 or 3 pieces of fruit
Dinner: Curry, stir-fry, fried rice, tofu kebabs, seitan (soooo many things to do with that!), gado gado, noodles, spag bol (with TVP), stroganoff (with tofu), casserole, and the very necessary glass of chardonnay:-)
If you are worried about B12 you might want to take a supplement, although most meat-eaters have enough stored to last them 3-4 years. I don't take tablets, I use nutritional yeast quite a bit and fortified soy milks and cereals. Up to you I guess:-) Good luck, and don't forget to visit my blog or any of the vege links listed to find thousands of yummy vege recipes.
Stay strong. Eat a Cheesesteak.
Quite astonished that I'm so pleased you're not mad (at me).
The world is fulla wunders....
Famous (or infamous) No-Meat-Eaters include one Mr Adolf Hitler. His opinions on human welfare were a bit questionable, but he did love animals (and not in the eating them kind of way). If you get any urges to invade Poland, eat a steak quick!
Good luck with it, come up for some frijole during the two weeks (we'll donate some to you as well), and to celebrate afterwards we'll take you to Ribs and Rumps in Manly. Or the Lowenbrau...
Anon: Is the same Anon from the post about the painting? This is driving me nuts. I appoint this Anon "Dr Yow" please use this name from now on or I am going to go crazy crazy.
Ron & Rita: Let's definitely go to dinner after the two weeks is up.
