Long or
short, every temporary source of sexual gratification leaves you with something
that will follow you all the days of your life. The Vegan Life Coach was hardly
an exception to this. Having long ago processed VLC inflicted pubic hair,
forehead wrinkle and vaginal recorder baggage, I remain primarily and
perpetually grateful to him for his following areas of influence:
1. An unwavering commitment to the Ashtanga Yoga practice. When I first met the Vegan Life Coach, I was certain that six days a week was far too many. I was entirely set on taking every Tuesday off, for no particular reason. The Vegan Life Coach convinced me otherwise. Eventually the Vegan Life Coach was banned from the studio. Darby said that he caused too many disruptions. I, however, kept practicing as though my life depended on it. Perhaps it did. The habit stuck for seven and a half years.
2. A fancy looking bottle of red wine that costs less than $12. It was called Borsao, and it had an orange label. I think it was from Spain. In 2007, it cost $11.45. When I brought it to parties, I appeared quite a lot more sophisticated than I really was. At their first sip, my hosts would nod, so very approvingly. “Just pairs well with everything, doesn’t it?” I’d say. As though I had any idea.

Excellent Guacamole Recipe. Today’s blog has resorted to a list. Will it also
resort to recipes? No, absolutely not. But here are the ingredients, from most
to least: Avocadoes, tomatoes, red onions, garlic, salt, turmeric and cumin.
The Vegan Coach said that it was all very good for inflammation, and cold
sores. I like to eat guacamole with corn chips which is probably also very
fabulous for inflammation and cold sores. When I moved to Halifax to date slash
live with the Boatman, corn chips became a food group. This was one of the
Boatman’s many wonderful areas of influence. The big secret is that Restaurant
Tostitos are actually much more delicious than any of the colourful organic
types that come in biodegradable packages. We experimented extensively. I am
going on a picnic today, in case you couldn’t guess.

Not
surprisingly, the last time I saw the Vegan Life Coach was at a vegan
restaurant. His skin glistened with sweat, and he appeared rather thin. He
demonstrated a polite and convincing level of interest in my life in Halifax,
my job at the Montessori school, and my creative endeavours.
“So, what are you writing about these days?” he asked.
“Oh, well, a bunch of stuff,” I replied. “I still write about you sometimes,”
“So, what are you writing about these days?” he asked.
“Oh, well, a bunch of stuff,” I replied. “I still write about you sometimes,”
“Well, you
know,” he told me. “What you write about other people reveals a lot about how you
feel about yourself.”
I couldn’t
make this guy up if I tried.
God Bless
the Vegan Life Coach.

A note
about avocadoes: Everyone has experienced the dilemma of avocadoes being either
terribly hard or mushy and brown. Together, the Boatman and I derived deep
wisdom about avocadoes. Hopefully, this will follow us all the days of our
lives. I am sharing this wisdom with you now. Should you find yourself in
possession of a hard avocado, put it in a paper bag. You can place it next to
ripe or ripening bananas, though I myself feel that banana flavours morph into
everything they touch. But the paper bag, this works. Once the avocadoes are
soft to touch, put them in the fridge. There they will transform into a state
of magical creaminess, and for quite a long time, this magical creaminess will
remain available for you to spread across toast, or crackers, or to dice into
salad, or mash into guacamole, or engage in whatever other applicable avocado
activity you can think of.
Good luck.

However you
feel about avocadoes, you should definitely watch the Vegan Life Coach video at
least once. I have definitely watched it at least once. OM.

So I guess I forgot the lemon. Hence, no recipe blog. Also, you can leave the onions out. I am going to leave the onions out. The Vegan Life Coach felt that onions were very beneficial, but I feel as though they cause unappetizing burps and terrible farts.
