10.12.09: HAPPY (fake) THANKSGIVING!

Expatiates rejoice! We get the day off of school and are encouraged to eat lots of food by our Canadian peers! I find Canadian Thanksgiving confusing in that it seems to last for the whole weekend. This goes directly against my Thanksgiving-on-a-Thursday upbringing. However, who am I to complain with a whole weekend dedicated to stuffing one's face?

To celebrate, I ATE CHEESE.

I know. I shouldn't. But my old roommates invited me over for pizza bagels and a viewing of 101 Dalmatians. And I missed cheese so much.



It was so worth it.

Munching on vegan apple crumble and noting all the various oddities of 101 Dalmatians (especially that the character of Anita is mainly fluttering around and laughing gaily).

10.09.09: It's been a while

I'm having trouble keeping up with this. The realization of repeated meals, and feeling down about having to keep as close to a vegan diet as possible makes the whole endeavor a little frustrating. However, I will do my best to keep up (and remember the order in which I made these dinners).



THE MEAL
The regular
Avocado spread and toast

It's amazing how I continue to adore this combination. I think I may have a slight problem and a possible addiction to bread.

10.08.09: Lunch Deserves the Spotlight Sometimes

Alright, this was technically lunch, but dinner was just granola and soy milk.

And this is much more delicious.

THE MEAL
-Salad with chopped nuts and balsamic dressing
-Toast with chopped heirloom lil' tomatoes and olive oil, parsley, salt and pepper
-Leftover tofu



I piled the tomatoes on top of the toast, but it would have been better had the toast been garlic-y

10.07.09: It was just a matter of time

Routine routine



(However, the garlic bread was a good addition, especially with pasta and tofu piled on top. That counts as variety, yes?)

10.06.09: "Boar-sha-cha"

MEAL:
Borscht my mom made and brought up to Canada
Salad with tomatoes from Atwater market

The part of me that's Ukrainian never gets tired of borscht.



This soup was made using a recipe I found in Mollie Katzen (of The Moosewood Cookbook fame)'s soup recipe collection. I showed it to my mom once, and to say that she's taken an immense liking to it would be an understatement. I won't complain; it's healthy, hearty, and there's always a bit container of it lying around when I go back to the States.
