Breakfast was the last of my Daiya Cream Cheese on a toasted Wegmans' Pumpernickel Bagel...

Mr. SVegetarian & I took the afternoon off and went to Clare and Don's Beach Shack. Started the New Years celebration early with a Painkiller $7. Caught a good buzz off it. By which I mean their bartender made it really good...

Split some Fried Dill Pickle Chips $4 for an appetizer...

my second Painkiller. Soon my pain was killed...

my Blackened Tofu and Fries $8.75. Everything was above and beyond my expectations....

No dinner. Just a bottle of Shingleback Black Bubbles to ring in the New Year....

Guess I'll just keep posting my meals into 2014.  Thanks to everyone who commented this year. 

WTF Monday

Boca Chikn Patties with Wegmans' hot bar Brussels Sprouts for dinner..

Randy Radish Pumpkin Pecan Pie for dessert...

Thanks to everyone for the sympathy for yesterdays meat-in-my-drink debacle. It was extremely disturbing.

More hellacious service at Harrimans Grill this morning. Below is my $10 'Bloody Mary' after I pulled the bacon out of it. Even though our server knew I was vegan due to a lame discussion she chose to have with another server over whether or not Mr. SVegetarian and I should order the buffet (a whole other ridiculous situation I won't go in to).  She directed a teenage boy to 'get this lovely lady a Bloody Mary' after it was determined nothing on the buffet was vegan. The drink was delivered while I was in the lovely ladies room....

No one ever came back to check on us, and the bacon sat in a saucer to the side of our table during the rest of the meal. I did take about five sips of the drink, Mr. SVegetarian advised against it, but I did so because  I felt they probably would've just taken the bacon out of it like I did and brought the same drink back to the table...

We were able to get one of the teenage boys to bring our check. He gave us our Chocolate Croissants gratis since they never served them. We got them with a 'to go' box. Harrimans is the only local place with Tofu Scramble, so I can't make a stink there knowing I'll be back. None of this would've ever happened at LPQ though. I will chalk it all up to a valuable lesson to request my future(?) Bloody Marys without actual blood. 

A Japanese Golden Chop with Roasted Cauliflower and Blessed Mama's Sauteed Dino Kale with Criminis for dinner. ...

A Randy Radish Jelly Donut for dessert. I swear there was tons of jelly as I delved further into the donut...

It's amazing how a piece of bacon in one's drink can set off a crappy mood that lasts the whole day.

Saturday, December 28th

Bob's Red Mill Quick Cooking Oats with Raisins for breakfast....

Lunch was at Taste of Burma. Mr. SVegetarian and I started by splitting an order of 'Rice Paper Summer Rolls' $6 Fresh Vegetables wrapped in Rice Paper served with Peanut Sauce and 'Samosas' $6 Golden Samosas filled with Potatoes, Onions, Peas & Carrots served with Mint Sauce...

My mouth was on fiyah! from the Mint Sauce while I ate my 'Green Curry Vegetables' $15 Green Curry is cooked with Coconut Cream, Bamboo Shoots, Zucchini, Mushrooms, Tofu, Carrots, Eggplant, and Green Beans...

All washed down with two iced cold Singhas $5/each...

A Japanese Golden Chop with Macaroni & Cheese from Roots Market for dinner...

Cranberry Orange Cake from Great Sage for dessert...

Things worked out really well food-wise today.

Friday, December 27th

I brought the remnants of a container of Daiya to work because I thought I only had enough left for one last schmear. I was wrong, there is enough left for at least another big schmear. Had to schlepp the container back home...

Below is a terrible picture of a really great lunch. The 'Roasted Vegetable Salad' $12.25 with Beets, Carrots, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Onions,  Tomatoes and Olives served over Spring Greens with Balsamic Vinaigrette on the side at Normandie Farm Restaurant...

They offer French Rolls in place of their famous Popovers for us vegan diners...

Okara Burgers with Oven Fries for dinner...

Three Cocomels for dessert...

No food plans for tomorrow.  Not a one.

WTF Thursday

Nuttzo and Banana on a TJ's British Muffin for breakfast...

'Mixed Vegetables and Tofu' (aka #22) $8.95 from Loving Hut for lunch...

A little Mrs. May's Sunflower Crunch briefly livened up the afternoon...

Macaroni & Cheese from Roots Market, Blessed Mama's Sauteed Dino Kale with Criminis and Roasted Carrots for dinner...

Sweet and Natural Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake for dessert...

Lunch with mom tomorrow.

Wednesday, December 25th

Sarah Kramers Banana Pancakes with TJ's Maple Syrup and Yves Breakfast Patties for breakfast...

The 'Christmas Menu' $16.95 carried out from Loving Hut and en route to my mother's house for lunch....

came with fresh Side Salad...

Due to excessive Champagne and Cashew consumption, I could only eat less than half of the above at lunch. Turned out to be a good thing because I could enjoy the food so much more at home.

It was super delectable and great value. The Chef needs to open a dedicated kitchen to make her creations available all year long, not just on holidays at Loving Hut.

Too full for dessert. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

WTF Tuesday

Daiya Cream Cheese on a Wegman's Pumpernickel Bagel for breakfast...

Boca Burgers with TJ's Vegetarian Chili and Oven Fries for lunch...

Macaroni & Cheese from Roots Market, Mushrooms from Wegmans' hot bar and Roasted Carrots for dinner...

Glogg and Randy Radish Pumpkin Coffee Cake for dessert. Great sh*t. Both the Glogg and the Cake.

Merry Glogg!

WTF Monday

Natures Path Heritage Flakes for breakfast...

My take on the 'Lehigh Avenue Sandwich' from Taylor Gourmet for lunch. I've never had their Sandwich (comprised of Roasted Cauliflower, White Bean Hummus, Red Pepper Dressing and Arugula). I used Wegmans' Roasted Cauliflower, Hummus and Baby Spinach. If my version is any indication how delicious this combination is, I can't imagine how great their Sandwich must be. Was a little sloppy, but not as bad as the pic would lead one to believe.

A Japanese Golden Chop with Blessed Mama's Sauteed Dino Kale with Criminis for dinner. Can you tell I recently bought a box of TJ's little Heirloom Tomatoes...

Glogg and a Randy Radish Jelly Donut for dessert. The sugar melted off the donut since I bought it on Saturday, but it was still chock full of Jelly. Glogg: where have you been all my life?

Happy Festivus.

Sunday, December 22nd

Breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien. 'Tofu Scrambler' $9.95 with a 'half' a side of Avocado $1.95....

Saturday December 21st

An 'Organic Mexican-Style Burrito' $7 from the Randy Radish for breakfast...

Lunch was at LEDO Pizza, where I enjoyed their new 'Viva La Vegan' $8.24 Flaky Crust, topped with LEDO Sauce, Fresh Sliced Tomatoes, Black Olives, Red Onions and Jalapenos. Baked then topped with Fresh Avocado and drizzled with their Lemon Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Not as good as their regular cheese Pizza, but it's great that they're offering such an item...

A Japanese Golden Chop with a side of Spinach and Goddess Dressing for dinner....

Cranberry Orange Cake from Great Sage for dessert...

More equally, if not better, food tomorrow.
