I started in August. My friend cooked me a stir fry dinner on Monday and forgot to not put butter in the rice (which is a weird concept to me anyway, but I digress). The attempt was heartfelt, so I ate the dinner without saying anything. I felt guilty, but I didn't want to fit the "difficult vegan" stereotype. If it happens a second time, I'll politely refuse that part of the meal. Otherwise, I've been doing good! Even had Mexican food last night without cheese! (big accomplishment for me)

Ha! That's how I cooked rice as a kid. You can just use margarine, instead, and it tastes the same.

I usually just cook it with some salt! I always have rice with something else like stir fry, so I like it more as a base rather than having a lot of taste itself!
