The last days were really hard on me. I ate mostly white rice (like 3 times a day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner). But I made some delicious sesame balls and onigiri, so I got that going for me.

Hey Kate. Thank you so much! VeganMofo was such a blast. It was my first time, but I definitely want to participate again next year. I really liked the onigiri with peanut butter in the middle (before I found out about my food intolerance) if you're looking for a filling idea. :)
