cookout yesterday...my friend knows i'm vegan, and i've explained to her what that means (i.e. no eggs or dairy or fish sauce or chicken broth or anything like that, so she doesn't think it's just "not eating meat"). so she was like "i made you homemade veggie burgers!" and i was like "yay awesome, they're vegan, right?" and she was like "yeah, no worries, i remembered" .
turns out they were made with both eggs and cheese. i ate half of it before i noticed that something tasted 'off'. then i realized what i had done and i felt sick. i can't believe i ate cheese. i can't believe i didn't notice it before i ate freaking half a burger! i suck.
now i'm paying for it this morning...all of last night i felt like my intestines were being tied in knots and poked with flaming spears, nausea, migraine...ugh. how did i ever eat this stuff on a daily basis? i feel horrible physically, but i feel like i deserve it for being such a greedy pig that i ate half a stupid burger without even noticing the veggies and beans were bound up with cheese (and eggs, as i found out when i asked her "i thought you said this was vegan?"
so yeah. don't take someone else's word for it when they say "it's vegan!" double-check that whatever it is doesn't contain specific ingredients. who knows what people are thinking is "vegan".
of course, you all probably already know that and i'm the only moron who is stupid enough to do something like this.
