Preparing to move and enjoying good food

As I mentioned in my last post, Den and I have decided to relocate to California to be closer to his family. At this point I'm finishing up porjects at work as well as emptying our place before we make the big move. In other news, Earth Fare (a new grocery store) has opened in Huntsville and we really love it. There's so much tasty food there that we always end up buying more than we planned whenever we go.

I've been reading other vegan blogs and the writers have been raving about Amy's vegan Mac and Chreeze. Prior to Earth Fare opening, I could find this product anywhere however I was downright giddy when I saw it in the frozen food section at Earth Fare. I took this for lunch yesterday and after eating it, I'll definitely be buying more of this in the future. Although I've had Dayia cheese before, I wasn't really sure how it would taste when paired with macaroni. While I was warming it up, it smelled so much like the real thing, I actually double-checked the box to make sure it was vegan and it was. When I took my first bite, all my food fears melted away and one of my meat eating co workers tried some and said it was good. This vegan mac and chreeze rocks!

The times, they are a changing

After having a very long discussion with Den, we've decided to relocate to California. I gave my job my notice on Wendesday and we've started the packing process. This is probably the hardest thing I've ever done because I'm leaving my hometown and a job I've been at for eleven years. I'm kinda torn because I'm happy to be moving to California yet sad because I'm leaving my family and co-workers.Although I won't be living in Huntsville anymore, I'm still going to keep the name of the blog veganintheville since I am from Huntsville.

Tranferring from Easyjournal to Blogger

I've keep a online journal at poetchik.easyjournal.com since 2003 but I recently realize that this website doesn't have a back-up feature so I've decided to shift my previous easyjournal entries to here. Keep in mind that my earlier journal entries were written when I was younger and not yet vegan. I'm also posting my older entires because they reflex who I was as a person back then and show what life was like for me at that time. Happy reading!
