Sugar

Okay, now this is just mean! Why? Why?

Now I can’t have sugar!? What kind of a world is this? And, apparently I have to be careful about maple syrup too! I honestly can’t eat anything these days!

*Wail*. I think I’m going to have to make an exception for this, because

1)      I can’t be that strict. I mean, I’ve already given up anything containing gelatin. I also gave up chewing gum. Soon, all I’d be able to eat would be celery!

2)      I don’t have time to process my own sugar! I try my best to use as many unprossesed ingredients as I can (eg. making my own bread, making my own lemonade, making my own pasta, making my own freaking vegetable stock), but I simply cannot make my own sugar.

3)      My parents would kill me if I told them there was something else I couldn’t eat.

So, at least for now, I’m sorry to all the cattle everywhere. And the environment that was damaged to feed and care for the cattle.  If I can find vegetarian sugar, I’ll buy it. And I’ll work on the maple syrup thing.

See ya,

A very guilty feeling human being

P.S. I found a vegetarian marshmallow recipe! Yes! (By the way, for those who don’t know,
marshmallows contain gelatin, which is derived from animals. I haven’t had marshmallows in ages. Some of the stuff in gum is also animal derived, thus, no gum.)
Now, all that remains is for me to make the recipe. I really hope it works, because I had to go to a specialty foods store to find one of the ingredients (agar agar, which is Japanese, and derived from seaweed).
