dinner: tofu grilled with sesame oil then spread with tahini-lemon-garlic sauce, inspired by this NYTimes article (I think you need a very high lemon:tahini ratio to make the recipe work properly.

emily – new orleans
i had TWO vegan failures today. new orleans is a challenge, but these were really due to my own carelessness/lack of planning…
cinnamon raisin toast, green tea, banana, carrot/celery/apple juice from ann’s live food (stand at houston farmer’s market)
fresh ginger limeade at cafe rose nicaud
red beans and rice that were probably not vegetarian. this was due to an emergency situation involving bikes, flat tires, pouring rain, getting separated from friends, eating late, and not having a lot of options- the red beans and rice seemed best and i didn’t ask any questions.
bloody mary at the organic banana. it was the first bloody mary i’d had in years because i don’t really like them, although this one was delicious. however, after i drank it, i asked about the ingredients so i could recreate it and found out that there’s usually worcestershire sauce in them- again, probably not vegetarian. yikes.
