NYCC Post

[aloneindarknes7]

 

Claire and I were thinking about what we should bring for NYCC, pretty much just food wise and we were thinking of collaborating with some of the food that is pre-packaged and easy to store in purses so we could have food at the Con and not go back to the hotel room all the time.

Well, Claire is going to bring up her make-up and nail polish, as well as a hair straightener and curler and a bunch of other crap. So she has the girly cosmetic sort of stuff covered. We were also thinking about bringing our own Shampoo and Conditioner and Body wash so that the people at the front desk wouldn't get suspicious if we asked for a million tiny bottles of such items. 

For non-refrigerated foods, we were thinking of bringing Smucker's Uncrustable PB&Js, some water bottles that we can re-fill, some apples, and maybe some other type of little junk food if we see them, such as Rice Krispie Treats or something like that. 

Does anyone have any other ideas of easy to carry snacks that they would be willing to bring along and share?  We were thinking of buying these things in their bulk sizes so that we had plenty of them to share.

Most raisins have added sugar, and I won't eat refined sugar, which is the type they tend to use.

I won't use any animal products - milk, eggs, butter, cheese, meat, lard, mono and diglycerides (these pop up in a lot of things as preservatives), honey, etc. I'm also pretty sure I have a soy allergy. I've had the worst breakouts all my life, and they improved when I stopped consuming dairy (I've been a vegetarian for nineteen years and a vegan for a year and a half). I tried not eating soy, and my complexion is even more manageable.

Hmmm. I'll check the packages and see if I can find one without.

Do you eat unrefined sugar?

That does sound like an allergy.

I do eat unrefined sugar. Cane sugar is almost always processed in a non-vegan way, but beet sugar is vegan. It's just hard to tell what kind it is when it just says "sugar" on a package, so I avoid it unless I know. In general, I don't eat processed foods very often.

I usually assume refined unless it says otherwise. Mostly I was asking out of curiousity.

I did find raisins with no added sugar. The label says they're all-natural, and the only ingredient listed is "raisins". There's sugar under the carb section in "Nutrition Facts" but grapes are pretty sweet so I guess it's leftover grape-sugar? Fructose, or something?

If you don't mind me asking, what's the difference between vegan and non-vegan? Is it just no animal or animal by-products? There's more than just food involved, isn't there?

There is more than just food involved. For instance, I don't use leather, down, wool, etc.
