I'm really looking forward to going back to the US, I have this list of things I'm going to do or buy when I go there and it constantly gets updated. Do not take things like Netflix, thrift stores, or neighborhood libraries for granted!
When I lived in Houston I was about 90-95% vegan. It got to a point where it was pretty much effortless, and I didn't feel like I was missing out. Now it's a totally different story. Claudio and his mom fill the kitchen with all sorts of tempting foods. There is no vegan ice cream, no boxed Indian food for when I'm too lazy/tired to cook, not even premade tomato soup! I guess I should suck it up and put more effort into it, but ugh, effort.
