I’m not even sure how I bit into this bagel:
It happened. Oh, trust me, it happened. But, my mouth isn’t that big, and that bagel is HUGE, so I don’t really understand it.
I thought that if I showed you an artsy picture of my bagel from a different angle, you’d be able to explain it to me.
You’re staring at what I had for lunch on Monday–a sandwich called the Healthy Harvest from Uncommon Grounds. It contains every vegetable imaginable, and I ate it all, on a toasted sundried tomato bagel.
Don’t be jealous.
Yesterday, I found this vending machine in my school’s lecture center:
At first I didn’t realize that I was staring into a “Green Vending Machine,” and was surprised at how many healthy choices there were.
Larabars? In a vending machine? I almost ate the whole thing.
Instead of eating a vending machine, I met up with these lovely ladies to slurp soup at Ichiban:
OK- I didn’t slurp soup. I ate Sesame Tofu.
I’ve been trying to like tofu. I’ve had it a number of times and just didn’t care for it. This time, I really enjoyed it. It was crispy, and not too chewy. Even Jeff liked it, and that’s saying something. He usually doesn’t touch the stuff, and he ate almost all of my leftovers.
After lunch, we did what any foodie would do on a Tuesday afternoon: went to Williams-Sonoma. That’s normal, right?
After that, we went to Fossil, and I contemplated purchasing a $50 wallet, but realized that I’d rather spend my money on dinner with Heather.
Last night, Heather and I decided to check out a veg-friendly restaurant in Schenectady called the Moon & River Cafe.
We knew we’d be spending most of our evening there, so Heather ordered a pot of tea.
I opted for pineapple juice on the rocks.
We started with the Mideast Peace Platter to share.
Then, I ordered the Guaco Burrito:
It was filled with beans, cheese, and salsa, and topped with avocado. I can’t wait to recreate this at home. It was so delicious!
As soon as I saw chocolate cream pie in the dessert case, I knew I needed it.
Heather ordered carrot cake, and we spent the rest of the evening playing checkers. Twas a wonderful night.
How do you feel about tofu? What about bagels? $50 wallets?
Let’s discuss.
Have a great Wednesday <3
I LOVE tofu! Love it, love it, L-O-V-E love it! I’d call it my favorite food, but it’s too vague. The only way I won’t eat tofu is raw. Blech.
And honestly, fried tofu is the best. Love that texture!
i’m so hit or miss with tofu. it has to be prepared JUST the right way and I have to REALLY be in the mood for it.
i lvoe sprouts. esp on bagels. on toasted everything bagels, that is!
I LOVE Bagels. Love them. I could eat them for every meal, every day. And occasionally I do.
I actually like tofu too. I like it best in stir-fry type dishes. And actually, the more that I have it, the more I’ve started to like it!
Mmm everything looks so good!!
That tofu was good- I would try it again!!
First I saw that bagel and fainted, and then I saw that guac burrito and fainted, hehehe
It’s been so long since I’ve had a bagel sandwich!! I miss them! I’ll have to investigate where I can find a good one in Boston – shouldn’t be that hard, right? I have to say I’m impressed with that green vending machine! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything close to organic in a vending machine.
Good looking bagel sandwich. I absolutely love it when they’re loaded with veggies – especially sprouts.
I wish they had that vending machine when I was in school!!
I love bagel sandwiches and yours looks PREFECT… exactly what I always order or make myself… YUM.
I really like tofu. I currently have a wallet that was more than that, so… I suppose I am on the yes side. Handbags are my weakness, and all of my really nice ones I take IMMACULATE care of – they are investment pieces and I’ll have them for years!
*perfect
All of that food looks so delicious. I am amazed and envious over the Green Vending Machine, what a godsend that would be in my office.
Holy crap that bagel… Chocolate pie… Good food overload. I’m hungry now
I have yet to prepare tofu for myself. I usually eat tofu at Asian restaurants where it’s offered as a protein alternative to chicken or beef.
Ha! I work at UG and often wonder how people will manage to eat sandwiches such as the one you ordered as I’m making them!
I love the idea of getting to sit and drink a pot of tea and play checkers while munching on deliciousness. Is the cafe still cash only?
Leah,
Yes it is. They also accept checks.
you should enter your artsy bagel picture into a contest. or print it onto canvas and hang it in your kitchen.
