2010! Ch-ch-ch-CHANGES.

Okay-
So, as I seem to say a lot in blogs and writing, and I guess anything I try to do regularly: It's been a while.
Sorry about that. But one thing you should know about me, lover, enemy or friend, I'm easily distracted and my commitment really has a lot of interruption.
SO, I bring you The Manual Labor 2.010-WITH A TWIST!
That's right dear readers WAY back in 2009 I made a life a change and will be applying it to the blog:
I am now a Vegan.
Now to clarify things:
I don't necessarily believe we shouldn't eat animals, I just don't believe the way in which we do eat them now or in whose hands the money we spend to do this ends up, is positive. We live now in an age in which we will have to begin answering for who we are and what we have done up until this point (or perhaps I am an age in which I have to answer these questions!) and I believe now that I can not answer the question of how I treated the world in which I lived so briefly in a way that makes me comfortable to continue it.

SO, now this blog will be a Vegan, Manual, Manual!
I plan to continue my use of non-electric appliances, green procedures for cooking and general quick nightly recipes, but with the twist of vegan-ism. Hopefully I will continue to make good food while doing this!

I will not divert to preachy rhetoric on vegan-ism or meats impacts on the world and our psyche or to the unending suffering it currently promotes (remember what I said about my commitment policy? You may see a few...) but hopefully will promote thoughtful eating and the creation of wholesome, enjoyable vegan food.

Lot's of love in the new year and looking forward to all the joy and happiness that is coming our way.
