Vegan Dry January Day 6: Wastelands of Admin

Good, innit?

Being sober 24/7 means that you have loads more time to get boring, pernickety things done. Things that aren't remotely creative, but still require you to think in a structured, methodical manner.

So the chore my accountant has been hassling me to do for three months got done today. A hard-drive got reformatted. New LED bulbs were chosen and ordered. This is productive on one level, but utterly tedious on another. I usually spend Saturday mornings bimbling about with a mild hangover, either eating a bacon-and-egg bap or wondering when I'll get a chance to. Most of this Saturday I just wanted to be over.

The weekly shop was fun, though - buying anything which fitted my criteria of a) vegan b) two minutes prep time. I bought far too much and spent a fortune. It was great.

I did also make the Jamie Oliver veg chilli (see above and in the vlog below) which people on facebook recommended. It was very tasty, but took about 90 minutes to prepare, cook, eat and wash up. I spend most of my weekend catering for and cleaning up after small people, so I don't need to be doing the same for me.

I am on the look out for a vegan ready-meal supplier. If there isn't one - I have a business idea. The Lazy Vegan. Hit me up. It might catch on.
