We hadn't been to The Mediterranean Cafe for several weeks. Since our last visit, they've really spruced up the place. We started with the complimentary Pita and Herbed Olive Oil... I had the Veggie Kabob Sandwich with double Hummus $6.99. So pretty I posted two pics!

Fresh, colorful vegetables in down town Charles Town! Whodathunkit?! Now that table games have been approved at Charles Town Raceway, we'll probably be seeing lots of new things in West Virginia.

Mr. SV had his usual Mediterranean Pasta...

Dinner was at The Hillbrook Inn, where the chef, Christine Hale, cooks up some tasty and healthy fare. We snacked on these Curried Almonds in the living room/hearth area while waiting for our 8pm dinner to begin...

Longingly looking at our table from the living room... it was tough waiting till 8pm to eat dinner...

The first course was Mushrooms on Bruschetta...

followed by Tomato Soup with Dill...

Penne with Toasted Pine Nuts...

Roasted Red Pepper stuffed with a mixture of Tofu and Vegetables. On the side -- Asparagus, Broccoli, Grilled Red Pepper and Rice...

Mixed Field Greens with Lime Vinaigrette...

Follow Your Heart Cheddar w/Carr's Crackers and Grapes. FYH has really improved their product. Chef Hale had to show me the package because I couldn't believe how tasty it was.Grilled Fresh Pineapple for dessert...Phew! A great meal that included all you can drink vino. The only negative (which I wasn't even aware of at the time) was the man at the next table giving me the stink eye whenever I took pics. Fortunately, I couldn't see him, Mr. SV told me about it later.

Same Food, Different Wednesday

Lunch was Morningstar Vegan Grillers with Tofutti Singles and Oven Fries.Dinner was Celebration Field Roast with Stove Top Stuffing and WF's Wild Mushroom Gravy. The Celebration Roast was bought since Thanksgiving, but the Gravy & Stuffing are still leftovers. I think I can only squeeze one more meal out of those.

Really love that Celebration Roast...and Gravy.... and Stuffing....

Another Yummy Day In Northern Virginia

Lunch was Indian off the Global Cuisine Hot Bar at WF's -- Garbanzos, Lime Rice, Dal and Aloo Gobi. Extremely satisfying.Dinner was one of Alicia's Cutlets w/Heinz 57 and Roasted Acorn Squash.

I did good today on the grub if I do say so myself.

Another Great Food Day

Below is what I usually take for breakfast daily -- a Banana with a tablespoon or two of TJ's Valencia Peanut Butter. I save the little plastic cups (along with tons of other plastic carry-out containers) that come with on-the-side salad dressing and wash them out to re-use.

Lunch today was a Veggie Burger from Cheeburger Cheeburger. Wow it was delicious! I got Guac, Pickles, Tomatoes, Onions and Lettuce on mine....

Dinner was Susan's Split Pea Soup (I added half a sliced Tofurkey Italian Sausage to my bowl)
Washed the soup down with 750 ML of the good stuff: Liberty Creek Cabernet Sauvignon.

Nuts and Beans and Chips

Lunch was Pistachios. They're good to eat while watching television. I also made a pot of Veggie Chili which was so good, Mr. SV & I ate the whole thing.

Then I ate a few spoonfuls of TJ's Valencia Peanut Butter w/some Ghiradelli Chocolate Chips.

Oh well, back to work tomorrow.
