[Magdalen] Meatless, but definitely NOT penitential

[Kate Conant]

Not completely vegan, because we still eat non-fish seafood such as squid,
octopus, lobster, shrimp, mussels...

I don't eat dry cereal often anyway, but some of my friends use soy,
coconut, or almond milk.  I generally drink tea and coffee without milk
anyway.    What I miss most are cheese and yoghurt and eggs.

humbly with your God?"
