Breakfast
Fruit toast with Nuttelex, and a cup of ginger tea.
Lunch
Leftover take-away stir fry (veggies, tofu, rice vermicelli noodles, and black bean sauce).
Dinner
Went to TGI Fridays at Marion and ordered the only vegan thing on the menu, tomato pasta. I assumed that the pasta didn't have egg in it because otherwise I'd have nothing to eat and I'd ruin everyone else's nice dinner. So I assumed it would be vegan, it probably was. But then when it came they had put cheese on the top! What was I to do? For the aforementioned reasons I ate it. If I didn't eat it I'd just have to sit there starving while everyone else ate and I'd make them all feel awful for eating while there was nothing for me. I guess all you can do is try, at least it was vegetarian. Though come to think of it, Parmesan cheese is not vegetarian. Sigh... Because of this I'll tag this as 'Questionable Restaurant Vegetarian Food' because, to their credit, they didn't say it was vegan, they said it was vegetarian, which it is not either! The restaurant was nice though, next time I will just have to ask for no cheese.
I also had a Tropical Mai Tai cocktail.
And then a Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri mocktail, didn't want to have too hazy a night!
Day 38 of vegan challenge.
Breakfast
Uncle Toby's Plus Omega 3 with soy milk and a glass of orange juice.
Lunch
Lunch 1: I was at the Oz Comic Con and the line for chips was huge (and I might get to the front only to find all the chips had chicken salt on them!) so I opted for a fruit salad. Not very filling though.
Lunch 2: After Comic Con my lovely mum took me out for lunch at Wild Thyme Organic Market and Cafe on Melbourne Street. I had a lentil and vegetable pie which the chef said was vegan. However, the side salad that came with it had cheese in it! Also the pastry was so buttery that I don't believe it was vegan. I know what butter tastes like. I don't think the chef had a clue what vegan means. Moral of the story, if the waitress can't tell you what's vegan and what's not, go somewhere else! Better still, if the menu doesn't tell you, go somewhere else!
Dinner
Dinner was vegie mash made with potato, pumpkin, carrot, broccoli, and peas, with a bit of nuttelex, that I quickly made, packed, and then wolfed down at my mum's house minutes before the movie we were going to see started. I was in a rush to eat and make the movie so I forgot to take a picture. However, there was enough for leftovers so it will be featuring as lunch in my next post.
Snacks
Some sultanas while cooking dinner.
