Wow, 39 years! So... I'm trying to understand -- do you eat eggs and dairy even if you don't like them?

Yes. But not unadulterated. I won't drink milk. Ever. But I will eat ice cream or cheese on occasion. I won't eat plain eggs. But I will eat them cooked/baked into things -- more willingly if I can't tell they're there.

I bake with eggs & butter.

If we go out or eat at someone's house, cheese ravioli (for example) tends to be something that meat eaters can wrap their heads around. I don't particularly care for it, but I'll eat it. I eat cheese on pizza.

If I were 100% on my own, I would totally be vegan. But since I'm not alone (and don't wish to be!!!!) this is the compromise I make for the sake of convenience.
