WTF Tuesday

Gardein's Crispy Tenders...Crispy but more chewy than tender...

Field Roast, Stuffing, WF's Wild Mushroom Gravy & Cranberry Sauce...

WF's Vegan Cherry Pie. What happened to all the filling? A T'giving mystery!

Frontera Malbec.

Field Roast Rules

The salad bar at Whole Food's today was really hurtin' -- the Balsamic Vinaigrette had separated and only Oil would come out of the bottle, the Tomatoes were mostly unripe, there was a congested kid trying to infect all of it -- but I persevered and, under the blackening 'shrooms and mealy inedible Tofu lies a good bit of iron providing Spinach:

Dinner was more leftovers, this time w/WF's Wild Mushroom Gravy. Yes, I do love Field Roast. To those bloggers eating Tofurky and saying they like it, I say this, "You know not what you speak of!" Fortunately for you, I will continue to link to your misinformed blogs because I'm too lazy to clean up my URL list.

Dessert was the opposite of a leftover.

Frontera Malbec. Good stuff. Only grimaced once after the first sip...

Still Digesting

Lunch was a Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino. The pink frosty beverage was the highlight of the last week for me.

Dinner was leftover Field Roast and Stuffing with Imagine Mushroom Gravy. Followed soon by more Stuffing and Gravy. No abdominal pains or feelings of despair tonight like on T'giving (that night there were Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans as well).

Lots of Black Swan Shiraz....

Yay Food!

Didn't mean for yesterday's post to be such a bummer. I've always hated T'giving and that combined with a painful bout of overeating (Just one plate of food! That's all I had! No dessert or seconds! How bad would I have felt if I ate animal products? Gross!) and the surreal nature of blogging all snowballed into yesterday's FOOD IS NOT MY FRIEND WAAAH! post. I'll pretend to be normal for the time being. Lunch today was a container of this energy drink. I did enjoy myself while drinking it, although it has a strong stevia taste which is not to my liking.

Dinner was a simple Lentil Soup (just Lentils, Celery, Onions, a TBSP of Tomato Paste, a couple Bay Leaves, Chili Powder, Cumin, S&P).

Black Swan Shiraz (when you fall off the horse, you gotta get right back on). And that's it. No dessert. Nada. I will catch up with everyone's blogging within the next few days.

Brown Friday

So life and blogging goes on, even when it all feels pointless and/or you feel disgusting. You (or I) do it anyway just in case one day it starts to feel fun/or you (or I) feel good again.."Fried Chicken" at Sunflower for lunch...

along with Mizunai Sansai Soba Noodles (Sauteed Soy Gluten, Wood Ear Mushrooms, Japanese Parsley, Bracken and Vegetables, tossed with Seacress (Green Nori Flake-Gomashio)).

The perfect dinner: PB & Crackers.

Several Stoli on the rocks...

WTF Wednesday

I was off work and spent the day peeling and slicing seven pounds of Golden Potatoes, trimming and blanching four pounds of Green Beans, dicing a head of Celery and... napping. No time for lunch in all of that activity. Dinner was Boca Burgers with TJ's Chili and Sweet Potato Fries....

...and dessert was Justin's PB Cups! Within just 72 hours of Jenny's review I had these bad boys in hand and, yes, they are quite the delicious treat! This is why the vegan blogging community is so important, people! And, yes, I'm back on the sugar now that I am starting to feel well again.

Black Swan Shiraz...

Consuming Mass Quantities...of Everything

Lunch was over a pound of Mixed Vegetables and Spicy Basil Tofu from Whole Foods...

Dinner was Gardein Cutlets, Chard and StoveTop Stuffing with Imagine Organic Mushroom Gravy...

Dessert was another Vanilla & Agave Cupcake...

Black Swan Merlot...

Really Good Stuff

Yeah, it was! Lunch was a salad from Whole Foods with lots of Corn & Beans on top.

Dinner was a Gardein Stuffed Turky Cutlet and Roasted Butternut Squash.

Turtle Trails.

Black Swan Merlot

My Eats

Lunch was the Veggie Sandwich at The Blackthorne Inn. $9.50.

Dinner was Panko Crusted Tofu w/a few sloppy dashes of Annie's BBQ Sauce and a side of Roasted Green Beans...

A Vanilla & Agave Cupcake w/Chocolate Ganache from VCTOTW.

Black Swan Merlot...

A Reasonable Food Day

Lunch was at Anthony's in Purcellville where we both had a $2.25 House Salad to start...

and I had the Mediterranean Wrap (Hummus, Tomatoes, Black Olives, Onions & Romaine) without feta.

Dinner was Field Roast and Imagine Organic Wild Mushroom Gravy, Roast Cauliflower on the side.

Turtle Trails.

Alice White Merlot...

NY Times

Washington Post

Pasta, Pups and Turtle Trails

Lunch was the Broccoli and Sun-Dried Fusilli from California Pizza Kitchen. I can't believe they actually succeeded and left the cheese off.

Smart Dogs and TJ's Gigantoid Beans for dinner....

Then the highlight of my entire week: Turtle Trails.

Alice White Shiraz...

Blah Blog Post

Not all my posts can be great. Today is one such post. Lunch was just a vending machine bag of peanuts. Dinner was Garden Burgers with TJ's Chili.

The rest of the Alice White Shiraz. I'll catch up with everyone's blogs by Saturday. No comments allowed.

WTF Wednesday

Lunch was Veggie Tuna on a Wegman's Everything Bagel...

Dinner was non-organic Boca Chick'n Patties with some of Mr. SV's leftover Pasta Salad..

Dessert was about a half a cup of raisins. I believe they satisfied my sweet tooth.

Alice White Shiraz...

Fun Vegan Food

Lunch was a Burrito Bowl from Chipotle...

Dinner was Sloppy Joes and Tots with Elise's Fry Sauce

Alice White Shiraz...(I haven't been feeling quite up to snuff the past few days, so I'm going to catch up with the comments and other blogs tomorrow. Don't miss me too hard).

A Quick & Sloppy Post

Lunch was a Lentil Dal Burger Sandwich and a cup of Pumpkin Soup from Whole Foods...

Field Roast and Boiled Potatoes for dinner...

Dessert was a victim of the five-second rule. Yes, the piece of pie was then plated upside-down, but I successfully picked out the bits of kitty litter that were stuck to it.

Black Swan Merlot.

Sunday Mini Post

Lunch was a Veggie Sandwich at Market Table Bistro. That's pickled fennel on top, not onions. The beets on the side were an unpleasant surprise. I detest beets. Almost as much as I detest wasting food. So I had to eat the beets. The beets were g'damn delicious! Only at this restaurant though, I'm sure. Dinner was two non-organic Boca Chicken Patties with Swiss Chard...

Black Swan Merlot...

Saturday Mega Post

I went to Big Lots today for the first time in many months, and while I was away, a lot of cool things have hit the shelves:

Alicia got me into drinking green tea, so I stocked up on that:

Lunch was a big salad...

I'm finally comfortable posting about the Granola Bars I've been taking for breakfast.

First off, I have a dedicated flax grinder (a coffee mill just for flax):

The ground Flax is mixed with Agave Nectar & Sea Salt and stirred into the Almonds, Coconut and Cranberries (instead of Apricots)...

To avoid sticking to the pan, I use parchment paper when baking. I still can't get them to cut cleanly, so I just break off a chunk when needed and they are deeeeelicious!

Baby Buff graciously agreed to pose for my mega post.

An Almond Butter and Banana Sandwich for dinner...

and a bottle of Charles Shaw Shiraz.
