Nothing too spectacular today. I fried up some veggie bacon.
It wasn't too shabby. I think it would work great in an omelet. Maybe on a sandwich.. A BLAT or some other such delicious idea. Anyhow, I was going to toss it into a breakfast burrito but we got a little jammed up at Matador today so I didn't have time.
I ran by the new Cafe Rio for a late lunch today. The Veggie Burrito was a big let down. It was only rice and beans. I'm not trying to review their food and I don't have any intention on bashing the fine folks over there. I have had their meat offerings in the past and they do make some fine products, but I don't know why they would even bother putting a veggie burrito on the menu.
The more restaurants I visit, the more disappointed I am in their veggie offerings. The biggest reason I wanted to go vegetarian is so we could take Matador to the next level of veggie love. Toss out veggie Meccas like Rainbow or Tasty Harmony and I don't think there are many options worth talking about. Sure, you could track down a some pasta or a pizza. Maybe even get lucky with some Mexican, but it is slim pickings out there.
I got lazy for dinner and didn't really feel like cooking. I tossed together a Tofu Turkey sandwich.
It worked. If I had been eating meat, I probably would have just done meat, cheese and mustard. I made a better sandwich than I normally would have. Tomatoes, red onions, pickles (grandma's) a touch of Miracle Whip and some mustard. Yes, I said Miracle Whip. It is quite possibly one of the greatest culinary inventions in the history of man. That is not a point anyone can argue against. Anyhow, toss a few carrots in there and a glass of water and that little meal wasn't only good, but good for me.
I have bigger plans for tomorrow.
And I love how you serve your sandwich on a beautiful birthday plate. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteSince I was too lazy to cook anything for dinner, there was no way I was going to make any dishes.
ReplyDeleteHave you eaten at Raska? As a vegetarian, this is one of my favorite restaurants in town. Amazing.
