tjs sesame bagel with tofutti cream cheese.

leftover pad thai with tofu no egg

handful of almonds and cranberries

vegan burger from leona’s, on emily’s suggestion. i topped it with onions, mushrooms, and avocados. i don’t think i got the full experience, since it was all soggy and i had to eat it out of the take away container (my house is full of boxes because i’m moving, so no tables and all the dishes were packed too). i think i’ll reserve judgment and try it again later.

last of lentils, rice, kale, tahini sauce; leftover beet thing from the potluck on sunday. i got to examine it more closely, and it was like a sweet, almost syrupy red soup, with beets, dates, squash, raisins, basil, maybe onions, maybe some other root veggies. it was delicious and i ate a lot of it, then got a little weirded out that i couldn’t totally identify all of the many different-textured things in it, which were all beet-colored and sweet from the syrup. nevertheless, i will ask for the recipe.

1/2 cantaloupe; lots of guittard semisweet chocolate chips
