A BBQ restaurant doesn't seem like the ideal place for a vegan to eat, but
Hempen Hill BBQ is one that actually tries and does well by vegetarians and vegans. After the long ride up to the restaurant, dreading being around all the meat, I immediately ordered an Iced Cold
Flying Dog IPA upon being seated. Things started looking up...
the Side Salad that came with my entree was big, beautiful and fresh...
Mr. SVegetarian and I split some Hand-Cut Fries $4.99 which were perfectly cooked...
and I had the 'Smoked Tofu' $13.99 Smoked and Seasoned Tofu with Bell Peppers, Carrots, Onions, Broccoli on Rice Noodles with Spicy Thai Peanut-Chili Sauce. Lo and behold! Awesome vegan food in a clean, spacious environment with great, friendly service. You would never guess you were in a BBQ place. It's a bit of a hike for us, but we'll be back for more.
Another fantastic CSA Tomato Sandwich for dinner...
Very rich
Cookie Dough Ice Cream for dessert.
We've had tons of Butterflies around the yard this week for some reason. Here were two that were having an intense confab this afternoon in the corner of a soaking dust pan.
Tonight I tried to give the Pups some CSA Celery before bed time to see if they would enjoy it...
I'd say that they tried to make the best of it...
But there was a lot of waste.
More potential dining out tomorrow.
