The Burnt Veggie would like to say that the vegetarian journey has become fun and tough. I would also like to apologise for not posting... LIFE

I recently visited my neighbour, an old woman who is more of my second mother than she is my grandmother. She made the most beautiful piece of food that I have ever had in my life. It was so delicious that as I write this now I get the taste of it.

It had corn bits, red speckled beans and a bunch of aromatics and spices. I had a taste while she was making it and I was somewhat reluctant of eating it however, after it was ready, I wanted the pot... and I mean the whole pot right next to me with the spoon she used to stir the meal. I didn’t want to lose any flavour. I wanted everything.

My taste buds went on a journey that was so beautiful. They do not want to come back. Mama (as I call her) did not know that I am vegetarian until that day when she made this wonder meal. I told her that I loved it and would eat it all day, every day.

This meal made me realise that protein is everywhere and people can stop asking me if I get enough. I’d like to think that I am. Everyone thinks that meat has protein, well vegetables do too, some more than meat. Eat your Broccoli :). 

Onwards and Upwards
