Now that I feel I can kind of call myself a "vegan" I decided to dress like a champ today and by champ I mean "fuck off I'm a vegan hipster." Let's go read some poetry and complain about world problems while our parents pay our cell phone bills.
I mean I went on this clothing binge over the holidays on the east coast and bought a ton of winter gear which was GREAT when it turned out I was going to stay for a whole week instead of 4 days, but then when I came home and unpacked I realized...hmmmmm....oh yeah, I live in Los Angeles. Whoops...
But LA does get "chilly" yeah sure, we'll go with chilly. Right now it's 66 degrees. That's a thing right? And next week the high is gonna be 56 while it's raining! So no one can criticize us for not having seasons! Yeah, p0wned east coast, we totally have what you call "weather" sometimes...
And here's the other big news, I've lost 2.5 pound. Ohhhhh my god, you can so tell right? the .5 is what really shows the most. And I mean I'm not doing this to loose wait (...I'm kinda doing this to loose weight), but hey, it's an added bonus.
For breakfast I haven't really been switching it up that much. The easy staple of course being fruit. No questions to ask there as long as it's not covered in yogurt. Raspberry's omnomnom. Simple pleasures are where it's at. At some point this week, I'm totally gonna put one on each of my fingers and it will be delicious!
For lunch I ordered us from Simple Things Pie & Sandwich Shop, and I was VERY VERY pleased with this place. I got the veggie #2 , balsamic roasted vegetables, portabella mushrooms,
oven roasted tomatoes, tapenade, onion foccacia (no burrata) and some roasted brussel sprouts...
Lets talk about brussel sprouts for a second, because they are AH-MAZING. I even thought so as a kid. I guess maybe I am one of those weird anomalies that just freaking loves her veggies. I just love how weird they taste. Oh man, green beans, asparagus. I'm ALL OVER IT. And these were AWESOME. So Simple Things you get a rave review. Everyone go there now!
After work I jetted home to do the "get ready for a date in 15 minutes dance" which mostly involves me running around and my cat looking at me like I'm a crazy person. But I got it done, turns out WITH time to spare....so I finally got to get the ground work done for said date that I was un-able to do this weekend. And what was that ground work you ask....?
WATCH PORTLANDIA!! As it turns out Main Squeeze got us two tickets to "Portlandia - The live show" which I am pumped to see!! (why still future tense...welp, we got the date wrong...so I'll be blogging about that show next week.) Sometime soon I really do need to start reading things, considering I even looked it up online and it said January 16th, and in my head I went, oh, tomorrow! Cool!
Accepting our fate, we instead went to Malo for some tequilla & tecate, chips & salsa. Malo is a GREAT Mexican place right near my house and on Monday they have $1 Taco night. Sabrina and I went before I was vegan, and went to nom town on vegetarian tacos. They even had a soyrizo one that I could've eaten if I wanted, but I instead chose to stick with chips and salsa. BUT, here's the big scandal for the blog...I had my first slip up.
wamp wamp wamp....
As it turns out the Burnt Habanero & Creme sauce is in fact not vegan. Something incredibly obvious since it has the word CREME in the title. And something I maybe should have noticed, but when reading the menu just stopped at the word Habanero (Refer to picture of me reading above) But in my defense Habanero really is the only word you really need to read to decide "YEAHIWANTTHATNOW."
Anyway, we ordered it, it came, I took one bight and went...hmm...I don't think this is right. Instead I got the Serano Chile & Tomato (I think...There was also a tequila shot involved in this) And MS was stoked cause he got his own freaking bowl of sweet delicious habanero creme. Bahhhhh. No it's cool whatever, I won't eat that. *grumble grumble* fucking cows...
In the end we made it out alive though, thank goodness. Sorry I let you down cows with my one bite of sauce. I'll try to not let it happen again.
Over and Out
