A Wasted Saturday

I got up to go to lunch this morning with some friends from Apple.  We went to Moe’s and had tacos and burritos.  I’ve also realized I can no longer stomach chips and salsa.  I drank a little too much alcohol one night, and had chips and salsa, then got sick, so every time I eat them now it reminds me of being sick.  Which is a shame, since chips and salsa are one of the only things you can almost guarantee will be vegan when you go out to eat.

But despite my not being able to eat chips and salsa, Moe’s was a good time.  Heidi was there, along with Camo and his two daughters.  Camo and his daughters are vegan, so they chattered away about their favourite vegan foods.  They brought vegan marshmallows for me to try, and we nearly ate the whole box.  His one daughter was picking the tofu out of her salad, and leaving the vegetables.

Afterwards, I was supposed to go to a doll meet-up/picnic in Baltimore, but honestly, I didn’t feel like going all the way to Baltimore, and I had left the cupcakes at home.  Instead, I followed Camo and his daughters to Newark Natural Foods to pick up a few staples.  Camo showed me some good stuff to get, and helped me sign up for a membership there.  I think I’ve officially spent too much money on food this week, but at least it will last me a while.

I tried my hand at another recipe from one of my new cookbooks today by making chocolate chip cookies.  Unfortunately, I’m a moron, and forgot that margarine spread =/= margarine STICKS… and although the dough tasted delicious, the cookies burst into dust upon removal.  Great.  It’s okay, because I realized that the chocolate chips actually contained milkfat, so I couldn’t eat them anyway.
