That's strange I was just thinking about making a temporary switch to vegan myself today. I made this tremendous (restaurant quality) ratatouille in the evening and couldn't stop eating it. Instead of layering the vegetables in a pot as I usually do, this time I sauteed them one by one. The results were that they were all cooked to perfection. :-). Anyway, it's a good idea for you to make that switch, even if only for a limited time. Have a great week inola!
