on thursday, we ended up ordering the vegan destroyer from the roman candle, on a recommendation from some friends who are not vegan. it was very good and i didn’t even miss the cheese. friday was another serving of asparagus and penne.
however, weekend breakfasts have proven to be frustrating. on saturday, i tried making vegan eggs (why do i insist on doing this to myself?) and it turned out not-so-good. the directions say that it’ll take 6-8 minutes to ‘scramble’ and i stood there mixing and turning for what felt like forever, just to get something that resembled glue or paste. i ended up tossing it down the garbage disposal and making 1-minute dal with the last piece of naan from lunches last week.
saturday’s lunch didn’t happen until 4 pm and consisted of me trying taco bell’s vegan adjustment menu, which consists of substituting beans for beef and asking for no cheese or sour cream but adding pico de gallo. the crunch wrap supreme filled me up at 4pm, so that was my final meal of the day.
sunday, i met mom and george at the pub for brunch. knowing that the tofu scramble is all they have for the vegans, i was excited to see the scramble du jour had tons of veggies in it. so, i ordered just that, the tofu scramble with the du jour veggies and no cheese. i did not get what i ordered because the cook only had so many veggies for the scramble of the day and didn’t want to waste it on my order. :/
dinner was kind of a fiasco as well. i had ordered upton’s jackfruit carnitas and it was gross. again, i don’t know why i think packaged food is going to be better than what i can make, but i didn’t want to open a can of jackfruit just for dinner. so, i switched gears and tried to make enchiladas using the sunflower seed ‘cheese’ that i tried to make on saturday. it wasn’t an epic fail, but i think i had three bites and went to bed mad.
anyhoo, lunches this week are white bean posole. i’m looking forward to it and am already hungry because i didn’t eat enough this weekend.
