I made this post on vegweb tonight:
Tonight after class, a friend and I headed out to a cafe we used to frequent a great deal during the regular school year but hadn’t been to in some time. Resigned to a bowl of vegetarian chili (though delicious vegetarian chili!) I still flicked over the menu. It had changed. New format and everything. And then my eyes espied so many treasures–food that I could actually eat! Tofu scrambles! Vegan bean burritos! And, just what I had been craving, vegan tostadas! I nearly squealed with delight!
All day long I’d been literally starving, currently residing in the omni household of my mother and grandmother. Last night I’d dined out with my family at a restaurant with nothing but meat, meat, meat and sickly salads and baked potatoes on the menu and had to sit next to my aunt and uncle, who both ordered really stinky fish. Gag! So, I wasn’t in the highest of ickle vegan spirits. I had some mediocre vegetable soup for lunch and a bottle of Silk Vanilla. By the time class got out at 9 pm, I was SO HUNGRY and my hopes weren’t too high.
Boy was I in for a treat! I got to feast on tostadas piled high with spinach, lettuce, salsa and tofu and a generous side of beans and rice! Yum! I cheered the entire way through the meal as my omni friend rolled his eyes.
It was a really great spirit boost. Just what I’d been needing!
How very delightful!
Also, I’ve been coughing a TON lately and so I’ve now resolved to quit smoking, or at least drastically cut back. Updates forthcoming.
