honey os with ricemilk. oj

cinnamon rhubarb muffins (see previous post), made with strawberry yogurt this time

leftover collard roll, home fries, cabbage

toast with peanut butter and banana on top

vietnamese sandwich with sips from a mango bubble smoothie, no milk. bite of a banana.

jones pomegranate soda, sips from an orange cream soda. splash fruity gum. i found out that a lot of gums have gelatin in them–i never really looked before because i’m not a big gum chewer, but yucko!

lots of jelly bellies from a candy store in south bend, indiana. did you know that they don’t have gelatin in them? and also that in these displays there are little doors where you can access all of the jelly bellies that other people spilled while they were using the dispensers?

tjs masala burger on a bun with tomato, lettuce, avocado, sprouts. more gum.

honey-os with soymilk. oj.

tjs sesame bagel with tofutti cream cheese. potato chips.

all manner of grilled things at a bbq including summer squashes, asparagus, eggplant, veggie burgers and pineapple. i also made something which was inspired by the collard wraps from a bit ago, but this time i sauteed onions, tomatoes, cous cous, and chick peas with some random herbs and wrapped them in purple cabbage leaves. the wrapping didn’t work out so well, i actually had to tie them together with string, but anyway we put them on the grill and it was good times. can’t go wrong with grilling.

‘jungle juice’ which i believe was ginger juice, lime, pineapple juice and tons and tons and tons of vodka. also a screwdriver.

honey os with a combination of soy and rice milks, which was surprisingly not weird at all. oj.

collard roll, leftover cabbage, potatoes.

snacks at a departmental meeting: several different kinds of sparkling juices from tjs. those dark chocolate covered pretzels that i love so much. chips and salsa. peach juice. other stuff.

then i had a sugar high and crash and really just felt over this whole food thing for the day ):  i’ll try again tomorrow.

collard roll with leftover home fries

piece of leftover corn bread with earth balance and honey

last of the leftover pancakes with maple syrup and a collard roll

look at the beautiful pattern my eating has made!

it’s almost like i planned my whole day

with this in mind

tjs honey-os with soymilk. oj.

leftover pancake and potatoes.

reed’s ginger beer.

southern dinner! red beans and rice wrapped in collard greens; i got the idea here but used different seasonings (red chili flakes, cumin, oregano, s/p, probably some other stuff i’m forgetting). cornbread from vegan planet recipe except minus the chipotles and skillet-less, served with earth balance and honey. cabbage sauteed with basalmic and tamari. This all turned out great–thanks to emily for showing me that vegan website, i have it on my greader now and everything she makes seems really interesting.

also, i had a dream last night that our loyal reader adam ate a bunch of sour cream by accident and then was mad about it. please comment if you know what this dream means.

vietnamese sandwich. weird “drink” with tapioca, coconut milk, mung beans, sugar.

dinner at earwax cafe (i would link to the website here but it’s pretty useless), a nice place in wicker park with a ton of vegan options. i got a sloppy joe sort of thing with bbq seitan. they have good fries!

good portion of a bottle of shiraz, snuck into a concert

rhubarb muffin–maybe even better the next day. i’m telling you guys, this one’s a keeper! oj.

lemon ginger tea during class.

wheat berry salad, to which i added roasted peanuts.

sushi from kikuya in hyde park. they’ve got some interesting veggie stuff–i had veggie maki (sweetened seaweed, avocado, cucumber, spinach) and AAC maki (avocado, asparagus, cucumber) and miso soup.

first of all, i want to apologize to our many devoted readers about all of my little “slips” earlier today. i know that a lot of you look up to me and the last thing i want to do is abuse that trust. hopefully the food i ate later in the day will make up for it–i mean, i ate wheatberries for christsakes am i wrong?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

wheat berry salad loosely modeled after some of the salads katherine has been making: wheat berries, raw cabbage, green onions, parsley, fresh lemon juice. roasted portabella mushroom with olive oil, basalmic, s/p.

i also made some baba ganoush (roasted eggplant, tahini, lemon juice, s/p, a touch of agave) but i didn’t eat much of it today.

leftover mac+cheese with leftover rice+bean dish from the other night

blueberry sucker that katherine sent me! i’ve definitely eaten more of these and forgotten to post, my b. they’re great, thanks katherine!

more mac and cheese

dessert experiment: i really wanted chocolate but i didn’t have anything to put it on, so i melted some chocolate chips together with peanut butter in the microwave and then put it on an apple. turns out there’s a reason no one else does this, it would have been way better on a banana.

leftover  mac and cheese (see previous post)

apple with peanut butter. reed’s ginger brew

a couple sections of an orange

dinner: i’m not sure what to call this entree, some sort of chili? but it was black eyed peas, rice, an onion, portabella mushrooms, canned tomatoes, cumin, paprika, an herb mix, lots of black pepper, red chili flakes, and salt–all together! served with nice multigrain bread and avocado.

some of my friend’s really delicious dark chocolate with orange for dessert–i forget what brand, i’ll have to ask.

did you guys know about this website? maybe i’m behind the times but i just found out about it yesterday.

raisin toast with tofutti cream cheese. oj.

vietnamese sandwich with weird “drink” (this one had corn in it! the ingredients listed were coconut milk, sugar, panda leave [sic], corn, and sweet rice but part of it was also green…)

lentil soup (carrots, onions, french lentils with a bunch of herbs and a bit of curry powder) and my first attempt at baba ganoush. i basically just roasted a couple of eggplants and threw it in a blender with tahini, lemon, and salt. next time i would add paprika, cumin, and garlic too. it still turned out pretty well–i had no idea it was so easy!
