vegan dessert (made special for me!): cotton candied tahini, berries, thin hard noodle cookie stuff

wine (while they weren’t sure which wines were vegan, they were the ones who brought it up to me, which I have never had happen in a non-vegan restaurant. the waiter suggested going with a biodynamic one that might have a higher chance of being vegan, so we did that. now I’m looking into biodynamic and realizing maybe it has even more of a chance of not being vegan, since biodynamic often involves using manure. I haven’t yet found anything about what filtering agents they use in biodynamic wines.)
