Re: What did you eat today? (13)
Okay, so not today, but this past weekend, I tried a few new things, while on a road trip to Ontario. :) I probably tried more than this, but this is what I remember: I had lotus for the very first time, mixed in with some Chinese veggies - very yummy! I also tried tabouleh for the first time, as well as soy protein nuggets and vegan saté at a Japanese restaurant. Mmm, me hungry now.
We bought a bunch of vegan faux meat and dairy products: salmon, shrimp, ginger and soy-peppered chicken, chicken nuggets, terrine, two kinds of vegan feta... Can't wait to try them all!

Well, we didn't do much in Ontario itself, actually. Just picked up speakers and an amp, and visited my partner's relatives briefly. We spent most of the time in Montreal, where we went to a Jeff Dunham show (not originally part of our plans, but we were held back by the storm and this was offered to us - show was quite funny), went to a few restaurants and had some awesome vegan food at the Hot & Spicy Restaurant (think that's what it's called). :) It wasn't a long trip - and it was longer than it was supposed to be because of the weather - but it was quite fun. The driving didn't feel as long as I expected it to... but I'm saying that as the passenger, haha.

Lol :p I love Jeff Dunham. Him with Walter, and Achmed :p And Achmeds Christmas song :D
I used to live in Southern Ontario, about an hour south of Toronto. My family still lives there. I guess the 402 had some crazy traffic jams. People were leaving their cars on the highway because of all the snow. Same with in my home town, the pictures of the snow they've got are insane...
I didn't have much today. Had my morning bagel and a banana and went to my job interview. Unfortunately everyone's having problems listing jobs because the job posting said permanent, and they're considering hiring people for a month or two.... I went to the grocery store to buy some food for when my friend comes over. I got some vegan veggie burgers, and looked at the cheese. It's a good thing I read the ingredients because the third listed was casein... Why the hell did they put that in there? Omni's aren't going to eat it, and neither are vegans.... No wonder they were fully stocked :(

Walter and Achmed are probably my favorites, as well. Yeah, he's pretty funny.
I'd have to say my favorite comedian is probably Adam Hills; you ever see him? He's awesome, because he manages to be hilarious while at the same time being nice. Most often comedians are funny through being insensitive, etc.; not this guy. Then again, Jeff Dunham and other ventriloquists can get away with being "nice", too, since it's generally their dolls, etc. that are the mean ones, haha... so maybe that doesn't count!
I love Carlin, too, to get about as opposite from Adam Hills as you can get. And you ever see Rod Gilbert's sketch on his luggage being lost at the airport? Funnyyy. :D

Yuck, that's too bad. I can't stand when they do that... There are Veggie Patch chicken nuggets at our grocery store that I absolutely adored when I was vegetarian, and can't have now as there's egg white in them. :mad:

I'll have to look some of those comedians up. I don't watch too many of them :p We just noticed Jeff Dunham a few years ago on tv and continued to watch. Then youtubed him to watch some more :D Veggie Patch is the brand we've got here aswell. I bought the Yves veggie burgers though because they're listed as being vegan. The Veggie Patch ones didn't say, and I don't know what some of the ingredients are.

I think Veggie Patch's portobella burgers are vegan, but I'm not 100% sure... I don't think I've had them since going vegan... Their falafels definitely are, and are quite good. :)
We are big fans of Yves Veggie Cuisine products. Burgers, bacon, ground round, deli slices... Good stuff!

Oh good :D I've been wondering how they taste because I know a few people haven't had much luck with store bought burgers. There were sausages there as well but I suppose Safeway isn't too worried about food going past its expiration date :p The best one I could find expired 3 days ago :rolleyes:

Ugh, yeah, I've had that happen as well, with Yves Veggie Cuisine ham slices or something. We had already bought ours, opened them up and everything. We ate them anyway, and they were fine...
The Yves Veggie Cuisine Italian sausages, BTW, are nothing compared to Tofurky's Italian sausages with sun-dried tomatoes. The Yves Veggie Cuisine sausages make better hot dogs, IMO, whereas the Tofurky sausages might be my favorite meat replacement product, they're delicious.

. So I eat the spinach even though I hate it, and add the carrots to drown the flavour :p )
I used to be the same about spinach and even more so about Aubergines! :(
I started by shredding spinach thinly in salad and chopping it up finely in curry to make sure I was getting the goodness but not the taste! Now though, I find I use it at every opportunity as I have grown accustomed to it and quite like it.
I had to be 'force fed ' Aubergine disguised in a variety of devious ways including deep fried as it was my lifelong pet hate ,but now I am actually quite fond of it ...deep fried anyway!

We have Tofurky sausages there aswell :D I just kind of ignored them because it's alot easier to grocery shop when packages have vegan written across the front of it :p I'll have to go back and see if those are good (as in not expired) ;) They look like they'd be pretty good, and I like how everything is fortified so I can eat junk food and still get all my nutrients.

The deep fryer was always my favourite method of cooking :D Atleast I'm not the only one who eats food they don't like just to get the nutrients from it. I thought that was weird :p What are aubergines anyway?

That might work too. Maybe I wouldn't be able to taste the spinach with the garlic :p I love pepper too... I eat probably a good tablespoon of that stuff a day :p
So far today I had a piece of toast. It was awesome :D
And some orange juice.

Yeah, they're not cheap, those Tofurky sausages. But so worth it... We try to resist eating them all at once, and instead just fry one up, cut it up in little pieces, and serve it on top of beany stews or whatever else we're eating it can go with.
You sound like you're eating healthy... I've been eating a lot of junk lately, interspersed with the occasional healthy meal (like today, Mr. Noodles for breakfast, a potato with mushroom gravy for lunch - haha, balanced meal, 'eh? But then we had whole wheat pasta with vegan feta - yum! - and olives and pasta sauce: much better :)). Our fridge is pretty low in greens and other veggies right now, time for us to hit the grocery store, too.

Re: What did you eat today? (13)
Today:
hot quinora with walnuts, dried apple bits, cinnamon, soymilk, maple syrup
2 cups green chai w/ creamer
green olive hummus w/ some rice crisp crackers and almost a whole piece of oat nut bread
eggplant parmesan

other tea (black decaf, pomegranate cherry green)

Re: What did you eat today? (13)
Tried Teese Cheese for the first time last night and it was actually really good! I bought the nacho sauce kind, and melted it over blue corn tortilla chips, added some white onion, cilantro, pumpkin salsa, black beans and black olives. Delicious! http://www.chicagosoydairy.com/teese_vegan_cheese/
That was my dinner with a snack later of hot apple cider, a banana and some vegan marshmallows (I am so addicted to these, Dandies brand from the same people who make Teese).
Breakfast was homemade popcorn with Earth Balance and earl gray tea with vanilla almond milk and stevia. Lunch was veggie fried rice and a spring roll with cabbage. Bizarre eating day I suppose...lots of snackie foods!

Re: What did you eat today? (13)
So far I've just had leftover chickpea noodle soup, Silk Nog, and orange juice,

Dinner will be Broccoli cheese soup (Leahey Gardens with fresh broccoli added)
Baked potatoes with smart balance and tofutti sour cream
Sauteed spinach and mushrooms with roasted garlic

Re: What did you eat today? (13)
B: Fruit salad (apple, grape, plum)
L: Appetizer (bread, dipping oils, olives). Starter (garlic ciabatta). Main (sun dried tomato and brown lentil sausages, seasonal greens, glazed roasted carrots, mash, gravy). Dessert (chocolate orange brownie with cardamom ice cream and pistachio). Banana soya shake and a hot chocolate.
D: I'm still full right now :o but will probably have an M&S stir fry which at least has interesting ingredients and not just lots of carrot and cabbage, or a pumpkin sagwala (curry).

Re: What did you eat today? (13)
Just had a quick question for you guys :p I was wondering if the veggie burgers and sausages were meant to be frozen, or if it was alright to be refrigerated. I was showing my mom what I had bought and she said that they probably have to be frozen, but it doesn't say it anywhere :p

Re: What did you eat today? (13)
If I buy them from the freezer section, I freeze them. Otherwise, the fridge is fine.

That stuff sounds good. That and Daiya. Have been wanting to try these...
What I have tried recently is Unisoya's soy feta, in the olive flavor and the sun-dried tomato flavor. Very delicious... Though I'll have to make sure these are vegan: the one iffy ingredient is "flavor" or "natural flavor". That's not an ingredient I obsess about, but I want to look into it before I ask the stores here to order it (I got it while in Montreal).
