Vegano TexMex

TexMex and going vegan are pretty incompatible. If you made a venn diagram of the two, it would be a pretty slim overlapping area. But there are options--at least in Austin and if you don't look too closely (i.e., did not ask "Is there lard in this?"). Yesterday I had a two-fer TexMex day. Lunch at Amaya's with Kati and Deborah. Surprisingly Amaya's borracho beans have no meat in them. So I had a cup of beans with rice and guacamole. Pretty durn good. Then Guero's for dinner with Nancy and Debbie. Their grilled vegetable plate was great--lots of grilled vegetables over rice with a cup of black beans. Again guacamole. However, I won't see much weight loss having Guac 2x in a day but that makes it a pretty perfect day in anyone's book (except Debbie's whose allergic to avocados).
