Is she gonna make it?

We're nearing the end of our first consecutive 7 day vegetarian period and I think my wife is turning on me. What started off as some eye rolling and huffing has taken a slightly more aggravated edge recently. She's bristled with the slightly crazed eye of someone who's hungry. She wants meat!

All in all I think we've eaten pretty well so far. Most meals have been fairly well rounded with cheeses, fruits, nuts, pastas, eggs and of course veggies. Last night we had a vegetarian combo at this Eritrean restaurant called Assab. On Friday night we had a vegetarian deep dish pizza from Little Star that was fantastic as usual. I made a minestrone type soup earlier in the week that was pretty good.

After the holiday week of absolute gluttony on every level, this past week has been a welcome change in diet. I feel like I've legitimately lost a few pounds and eaten a lot more veggies than usual. One more day and then we'll feast on some pasta carbonara with some tasty pancetta.
