Today was the Zombie Pub Crawl. It's an annual event here in Fargo where we dress up as zombies and crawl from one bar to the next. I went dressed up as a marathon runner that was freshly zombified. I walked with a group of friends and only visited 3 stops on the crawl before going home for the evening.

Today I went to the dentist for my 6 month check-up and cleaning. I found out that I have a cavity :( and I was also told that I should be using a flouride rinse, otherwise I will probably have more cavities soon. Flouride is poison and I don't feel comfortable putting it into my body, so I'm going to have to do some research about mineralization. Also, I need to do more research on fillings for cavities, as I will be getting one soon.

The Nutrilicious chocolate marble swirl donut was one of the treats that I ordered from veganessentials.com. It was a chocolate cake donut with soy yogurt icing, and it was moist and delicious! I can't wait to try the other flavor that I got.

Tonight I went out and saw my friend's band play, Captured! By Robots. It's so nice that he goes on tour every year and always stops in Fargo. I got to hang out with some other friends at the show too, and I even met a new person!

I watched the movie Inception last night, which was a great psychological thriller! Today, I went to a 60 minute bellydancing class at the gym with a friend, and it was just as much fun as the last time that we went! The Cocomels are another one of the treats that I ordered from veganessentials.com and they are the best caramels I have ever tasted! They combine the delicious taste of coconut and caramel in one treat.

I've tried a few varieties of the Tasty Eats soy jerky before, but this was my first time trying the original flavor. The texture is very similar to the real thing: not too dry or moist and you have to work your jaw a little bit to chew it all up. The flavor was very good: a little sweet, similar to teriyaki, but still salty and peppery like jerky should be.

Also, I tried a So Delicious ice cream sandwich for the first time today, and all I can say is that it was the best ice cream sandwich I've ever tasted! I'm a huge fan of coconut, so making an ice cream sandwich with coconut milk ice cream already seemed like a winning combination before I even tried it. I'm definitely gonna go back and buy some more of them while they're still on sale!

It felt great to take the plastic off my windows today and pack up all my winter clothing to put in storage for the season. I also received my veganessentials.com order today, and I'm planning on reviewing all of the goodies that I got once I try them. The basil that I planted last Thursday already sprouted =) I can't wait for the rest of the herbs that I planted to start coming up (parsley, cilantro and lemon balm).

I went out to the gym this evening for Aqua Lite (an hour-long water aerobics class) with 2 amazing friends. I can't wait to go to a bellydancing class tomorrow! I also got to try an Organic Miniature Peanut Butter Cup by Sjaaks, that I ordered from veganessentials.com. The reviews on the site mention that it tastes just like or better than a Reese's. My opinion is that it's delicious and tastes more like a Palmer Mini Peanut Butter Cup than a Reese's, but it does come pretty close to a Reese's.

It was wonderful getting to see friends from FMVeg again today at the welcome spring potluck we had at the Moorhead public library. There was lots of good food, as usual, and good conversation too! Also, I visited the Daily Bread food pantry today, which is my favorite one in the area because everything they give you is fresh, nothing is canned or boxed. They had lots of vanilla Silk soymilk too, so I got to stock up on plenty of that.
