pumpkin carrot cake: i veganized and pumpkinized my mom’s carrot cake recipe to bring to class tomorrow, but it turned out so weird that i just ate a bunch (with almond milk, and some with melted chocolate chips on top) and am going to leave the rest for my housemates to eat! why is it that whenever i have the opportunity to prove to a bunch of people i don’t know very well that vegan baked goods can be delicious, it always turns out disastrous?

last of the coconut sorbet

oatmeal with banana, almond milk, agave

lunch while shopping at heb: mesquite bbq, black pepper, and spicy cayenne cashews, turkish apricots, dark chocolate goji berries all from bulk bins; legitimately purchased everything bagel and pixie tangerine. the tangerine was recommended to me by a stranger and was deliciously sweet

leftover coffee, stauffer’s animal crackers (i can’t stop eating them! just opened the second of two bags. for some reason they were on the $1 shelf at target and now i want to go back and get the rest of them)

pre-class dinner: leftover gnocchi with asparagus-white bean sauce, asparagus, peas, black olives; pixie tangerine

pb&j with bread i accidentally burned in the toaster

fries with honey from mcdonalds. if you want to judge me for that, i understand. also sips of root beer.

dinner at peaceful greens in lafayette IN: parts of a vegan tempeh reuben and vegan ratachaela. chocolate and strawberry ‘mousse’ (really mori-nu pudding i think) for dessert and chocolate cake. the food at this place was fine, but i generally thought that i could have made everything at home for myself, and maybe slightly better? definitely cheaper. still, it’s good to support entirely vegetarian restaurants.

part of a bag of wild berry skittles (the regular kind at the gas station had gelatin but wild berry didn’t for some reason)

breakfast: Rice Krispies with hemp milk; coffee

black cherry almond Clif bar

dinner at Papacitos (Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY): vegan burrito with seitan asada, vegan cheese, vegan sour cream, rice, black beans, cilantro, tomato, etc. (I think this burrito is slightly different every time, in an awesome way); vegan nachos (tortilla chips, vegan sour cream, vegan cheese, black beans, olives, jalapeños, salsa, etc.); Tecate

drink: budweiser

honey os with ricemilk. oj.

whole wheat tortilla with romaine, tofu, muhammara; small navel orange; chocolate chip banana muffin; handful of animal crackers
