What Vegans Eat – Day 1387

Breakfast: Now I am really going to take it easy. Gary insists I stay in bed all day. That won’t happen but I am lingering. He brought me Vanilla Tea with Coconut Milk which I sipped in bed.   I got an itch to cook. Specifically I wanted to make Staffordshire Oatcakes. We haven’t had…

What Vegans Eat – Day 1380
