Sunday, May 19th

Breakfast was just a couple of Sarah Kramers Banana Pancakes with TJ's Maple Syrup to keep the hunger at bay till...
Tofu Scramble at Cafe Nola for lunch. They did an excellent job crisping up the Tofu and Roasting the Potatoes.
Wegman's Chickenless Chicken with Steamed Broccoli for dinner. (I've gotten some good deals on Organic Broccoli lately so expect to see a lot of it the next week or so).
A Two Moms In The Raw Almond Butter Cacao Truffle for dessert. Disappointing product for the high price. I fell for the precious yuppie name. Can't recommend. Stuck with two more in the pack now.
WFH Grub tomorrow.

Tofu Scrambler for breakfast at Cafe Nola...
Hummus Sandwich from South Street Under for lunch...
Assorted Indian food off the WF's hot bar for dinner....
VaVa got me craving traditional (with Raisins) Oatmeal Cookies, but I'm way too lazy to make my own. So I bought some Sticky Fingers Oatmeal Cookies for dessert. Sort of hit the spot. Needed more Raisins.
A pretty damn good food day. Lunch was the highlight.

FF is back with a vengeance from 'hiatus', so there is really no point in blogging today, but here it is:
Tofu Scramble at Cafe Nola for breakfast.
Veggie Chicken Salad from The Common Market for lunch.
Manicotti carried out from Everlasting Life Cafe yesterday for dinner.
Hazelnut Cake from Vegan Treats via Loving Hut for dessert.
So that was quite a bit of food today. Maybe some fruit or vegetable tomorrow.

Tofu Scrambler and Roasted Potatoes $11 at Cafe Nola for breakfast...
Ever since the 'Soup Nazi' episode on Seinfeld, I've been wanting to try Mulligatawny Soup. Today, I bought a pint off the soup bar at Common Market.

This was sort of like a very thin Lentil Soup, I have nothing to compare it to, but it was very mysterious and intriguing.
Mr. SV's Pasta Salad for dinner. No oven turned on today.
Half a Date Crumb Square for dessert.
Could have been sweeter.
A little barn cleaning created some spots of wet chicken poop in the yard. These damp spots always attract butterflies. Below is a Yellow Swallowtail...
and a Black Swallowtail...No macro lens here.
Coming up tomorrow: Hoping to get more Ratatouille from Whole Foods.

Breakfast was at Cafe Nola: Tofu Scramble $10. Check out that dude's bare foot in the background.

Asmar's Tuna Salad on WF's Rosemary Sourdough Bread. Great bread! Organic to boot.

Field Roast Franks and Corn on the Cob for dinner. It's the American way.
Cleo Cups for dessert. Yes, I like them better than Justin's.

Coming up tomorrow: Sitting in the office all day thinking about food.

Saturday, April 7th

Today I enjoyed dining at two of my favorite restaurants. Tofu Scrambler $8.95 at Cafe Nola for breakfast.
And the Ultimate Veggie Wrap $7.99 at The Main Cup for lunch.
Then I had another favorite: Eggless Egg Salad on Pumpernickle for dinner...
Then, things took a turn for the not-as-great. So Delicious Chocolate Velvet Ice Cream with PB for dessert. The Ice Cream was too frosty and I was too impatient to wait for it to melt. Oh well.
Coming up tomorrow: the potential to have lunch at another favorite restaurant. Mr. SV is being really nice and cooperative this weekend, what's that about?

An Eggless Egg Salad Wrap $5.29 from The Common Market with Route-11 BBQ Chips for lunch.

Coming up tomorrow: Trying to get used to being an hour ahead of the usual time all day.

Tofu Scrambler and Roasted Potatoes $8.95 for breakfast at Cafe Nola.
Yves Salami Sandwich for lunch at home.I decided to experiment with some 'ambient lighting' at dinner for my Field Roast Meatloaf with Heinz-57 and Baked Potatoes, but the resulting pics weren't to my pleasure.
So I returned to bright and cheerful regular lighting at dessert time for the other half of my Sweet 'n Natural Blueberry Lemon Creme Cake.Coming up tomorrow: Either staying inside all day due to severe weather or venturing out with a fistful of Groupons.

Tofu Scrambler and Roasted Potatoes $8.95 for breakfast at Cafe Nola..
Carried out a 16 oz container of White Bean Tomato Soup $4.99 from The Common Market for lunch.
It was pretty to look at, but eating wise, not as good as the ingredients would lead one to believe.
Hummus on a toasted Wegman's Everything Bagel for dinner...Mealy Tomato, overly Salty Olives, past-its-prime Spinach...
$1.99 Snickerdoodle for dessert. I just now realized the sign didn't say 'vegan' probably because of the sugar...
I only ate half. It wasn't chewy like a Snickerdoodle should be...
In summation, while not the best food day, this post holds the record for the variety and number of different cameras/cell phones used to cobble together a single day's eats on my blog.

Sunday, September 4th

Lunch was the Tofu Scrambler $11 at Cafe Nola. Roasted Potatoes on the side.We sat at the bar and I noticed they have those infused liquors -- the topic of recent blogger conversation. This is just a third of the varieties on display and they were pretty popular. Especially the Tomato Vodka for the Bloody Marys.
I started to make this Chili yesterday. Upon reading the directions, I discovered that it required soaking of the beans overnight. (As you can see, 'Crystal' put together the bag of Beans & Spices. Gives it a personal touch).
This was my first time soaking beans overnight. Previously, I've only soaked beans for sprouting.
The Beans did absorb a lot of water, so it was probably necessary to soak them. The rest of the recipe required sauteeing Onions, Garlic & Green Pepper...
....then, after three hours of simmering, adding 32 ounces of Diced Tomatoes. Don't ask! It was a whole big thing. The most labor intensive Chili I've ever made. On Labor Day Weekend no less. Thankfully, It turned out pretty well. Very spicy and beany.
WF's Vegan Apple Pie for dessert.
Can't wait not to get up at 4:45am tomorrow. Thanks for visiting the blog.
