i don't know what's come over me

i haven't eaten a gargantuan steak in weeks, i've started cooking actual meals for myself, and i stocked the fridge with fruits & veggies for snacks... this is odd.

i've noticed more and more people looking for vegetarian & vegan options - i figured they might be on to something. i haven't gone that far but i did lighten up my cooking this week & even threw in a vegan main course for the weekend.

the market is teeming with fresh veggies & just looking at the displays made me want to make ratatouille this week.
