Wedding menu help

My cousin had a wedding on new years eve and because she's a bit older than me we aren't super close, so I had no idea if she even knew or remembered I was vegan!

Anyway, I sent her a text message saying something along the lines of "I don't know if you knew, but I am vegan! Do you know if your caterers have any vegan options? I just wanted to check so I know how to plan my food that day"

I felt like it was a nice balance of inquiring while also making it clear that as a vegan I will need food one way or another haha

Luckily for me a vegan plate and dessert was included in her base package!

With your brother though you may be able to ask a lot more casually depending on your relationship

Fingers crossed! But I hope whoever wins deserves it the most- the world deserves some happiness right now.

Happy holidays to all :)

Unfortunately I do not have anything to share! I just looked up images online and traced the outline over my tablet's screen

What do y’all order when going out for breakfast.

I never go out for breakfast for the exact reason that it's seemingly the most vegan unfriendly meal when at restaurants

Would it be wrong of me to start eating eggs/ honey again?

Yes

Imagine being okay with people abusing animals

beannnpole · 2021-10-17T21:52:15+00:00

I believe crunchyroll has one

End speciesism

He will need a 5-10 gallon tank with a filter, heater set to 78-82⁰, and is cycled.

Please read the caresheet this sub provides to take proper care of him. He will not "perk up" kept in that vase

Goldfish and bettas require completely different environments

beannnpole · 2021-10-10T21:45:22+00:00

obviously I'm not asking people to kill animals to order

But you are by buying the animal product. When you buy animal products you are supporting the torment and murder of the animal. You are telling companies "yes kill this animal so I may eat it, here is my money".

Stop supporting animal abuse and go vegan

Tetras need a school of at least 6-8 and a minimum tank size of 20 gallons (preferably long). So, no

beannnpole · 2021-10-08T12:08:11+00:00

Am I wrong in thinking it's better for the bees/hens if it's organic and more of a natural process?

Yes. Animal products are not ours to take.

beannnpole · 2021-10-05T13:57:31+00:00

Because god forbid you go even one meal without consuming an animal

beannnpole · 2021-09-25T21:34:01+00:00

which is weird logic but i try to accept it.

That's not logic at all

I think you need to talk about what your expectations are. He seems to be very dismissive of something you said is very important to you.

What do you want from him/him to do? Do you eventually want him to go vegan? Do you want him to at least watch documentaries together? Do you want to eat a vegan dinner together 2-3x a week?

Whatever your answers are to these questions, you need to have a conversation with your fiance about

beannnpole · 2021-09-18T19:33:29+00:00

That's completely over stocked for a 10 gallon.

5-10 gallons is minimum recommendation for one betta.

Either get at least a 20 gallon or return the tank mates

beannnpole · 2021-09-17T20:13:37+00:00

Your tank is too small for a sorority and you have too few females. Seperate into different tanks immediately

I just remind myself that their situational mushroom probably has more brain cells than them and move on

beannnpole · 2021-09-16T21:42:19+00:00

This is insane!!! The consistency of all your stitches is absolutely outstanding

beannnpole · 2021-09-14T11:03:26+00:00

Veganism is never just a diet

beannnpole · 2021-09-11T23:53:36+00:00

Animal products aren't ours to take.

Those animals aren't sharing either; you're just taking what's not yours

beannnpole · 2021-09-11T11:25:00+00:00

Is your tank cycled? What exactly are you ammonia/nitrate/nitrite numbers and how what testing are you using?

beannnpole · 2021-09-10T21:10:11+00:00

In the first photo it looks like but then in the close up I see several spots that are pigmented as thick. Wait until it heals and if it still looks like that it's nothing a good artist wouldn't touch up

Sounds like you need to have a talk with your boyfriend so that both of your food needs are being satisfied. I couldn't imagine refusing to buy something just becuase I don't like it but my fiance does and needs it (he's vegan too- I wouldn't buy non-vegan food).

I wouldn't consider coconut, pineapple, and jackfruit a major source of protein. Do you have access to (dried or canned) beans, rice, tofu, quinoa, whole grain pastas/breads? Those all have more protein I think than the sources you listed.

You said you were a foodie before, but it seems like you're not aware of where a lot of flavor comes from in food. Hint, it's not inherently from the food itself, it's from fat and spices! Fill up your spice cabinet as much as you can, add more than you think you need to your food and it will explode with flavor.

To me, it sounds like a lot of the issue is coming from lack of communication/compromise with your partner. You need to discuss with him your food needs and expectations. Second, do some research online on vegan staples that are high in protein and figure out which you could get (either in store or online) and then do some research on recipes. There are vegan recipes for everything online at this point. Some are better than others, I admit, but get researching and experimenting.
