breakfast: raisin toast with Earth Balance; orange juice; chocolate chip cookie dough

coffee

“lunch” at Culver’s: french fries with ketchup (probably vegan according to this, which indicates that they have no egg, dairy, or fish. The only thing other thing that I can imagine would be meat in the flavoring, but they’re hardly flavored.)

Mamba and vanilla wafers in car

dinner: broccoli, carrots, tomato slices, and grapes; lemonade; vegan pizza with “rinotta” cheese and spinach from Pizza Luce. They told me that the mock duck wasn’t vegan on the phone, which I expressed confusion about because it used to be labeled as vegan. It still says it’s vegan on the website so I’m going to have to confirm later.

Luden’s wild cherry throat drops. This time, Marcy, I did not eat them because I was sick, but only because I like cough drops. I wanted to buy a bag of Skittles but realized I didn’t have cash, so then, in frustration on the subway, I ate about 8 of these. They aren’t really cough drops; more like corn syrup and flavor drops.

dinner: homemade pizza (carmalized onions, vegan mozeralla cheese, vegan feta cheese, sauce), which i later found out was not vegan.  my housemate made the carmalized onions and although he said they were vegan, they had honey. so  i switched to leftover pizza from last night

drinks: budweiser and pbr (vegan according to barnivore)

snack: toasted pita with melted (yes, melted!) smoked vegan cheddar and mustard (this is the best thing i’ve eaten in awhile).  unmelted, the cheese apparently tastes like gouda cheese (about 5 non-vegans tried it and all said the same thing).  the “cheese” melted in seconds and is delicious (it has a different flavor when it’s melted)

dinner: udon noodles with simple peanut sauce coating (click for the recipe); Dogfish Head Aprihop IPA (vegan according to Barnivore)

entree

  • 1 lb udon noodles
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 c sesame oil
  • 1/2 c peanut butter
  • 1/4-1/2 c Bragg’s liquid aminos (I used 1/2 c and it seemed like too much.  Start with 1/4 c and add to taste)
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2-4 T fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 T sesame seeds

Cook udon according to directions (mine cooks in boiling water, to which I add some sesame oil and ground pepper, for 10 minutes.  After cooking I run cool water through to keep it from sticking and from continued cooking in the strainer).

Saute onion and garlic (add garlic a few minutes after onion) in a bit of sesame oil until slightly brown.

Combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl, stirring thoroughly.  Add the sauteed onion and garlic to the sauce.  Coat the noodles in the sauce.
