I had my second vegetarian slip-up in five years this weekend. A friend threw a party and prepared quite a few delicious snacks, complete with small signs beside them, listing the ingredients in detail.

I somehow missed the part where one of the quiches contained bacon. My bad. Unfortunately, I’m now able to report that I still love the taste of meat, even after not eating any for five years. I doubt that’ll change any time soon.

I'm not happy about this breaking my streak, but I decided not to dwell on it for too long. It was an honest mistake that doesn't take away from my overall vegetarian lifestyle.
