Day 4

I finally had a bit of a breakthrough yesterday when I was at the local specialty market and found dairy free chocolate.  I went looking for dairy free chocolate chips for a cookie recipe I have to make this weekend but also found actual vegan chocolate bars in addition to the dairy free chocolate chips.  Hallelujah!  And the vegan chocolate bar tasted good!  I went nuts and ate half a bar at 10pm because I was too impatient to wait until the next day.  The brand is called "Taste the Dream" and they sell dairy free chocolate bars, dairy free beverages, and even dairy free ice cream.  As my experience with them is pretty limited, I can't speak for their other products, but I can say that the pure dark chocolate bar that I had was delicious. I also found out from the sales associate who I spoke to, that the Dream brand is one of their vegan chocolate bar best sellers.  I'm interested in seeing how the ice cream tastes.  Anyways, here's a link to their website - http://www.tastethedream.com/index.php

Other good news - I was able to get my hands on delicious soy chicken nuggets while I was shopping for the chocolate, and got the very last two containers because I put off my shopping until the very end of the day.  They glazed the nuggets with a sweet thai sauce, and eaten alone or with some type of grain, the nuggets taste amazing.  I chose to have mine with a bowl of quinoa.  Today has probably been the best day so far in this vegan experiment.  I'm happy to say I don't have anything to complain about.

Till next time...
