[Gorilla]

gorilla - your weekend sounds so tasty! especially the bakewell tart bit...i don'tt hink i've had one of those since being vegan. did you make or buy? i luuuuuurved them!

amanda

i bought it at the West Midlands Vegan fayre from the Veggies catering stall. some (whisper) supermarkets sell vegan bakewell tarts which are quite nice but not as good as home-made of course.

[Pob]

They are prepacked, and seasoned with 5-spice. Apparently very popular in Asia.

Still struggling to eat them.

last night for dinner - 'tofuburger' toasted panini type thing from a little shop on the Cvjetni trg. they sell normal sandwiches and then randomly all these vegan ones. it's bizarre, and teh guy thinks i'm some kind of mentalist - i must be the only one who ever eats them. but i figure someone else must order them, or why would they be there? tasty though...

brekkie - am trying to be a bit healthier, so for breakfast i had porridge as usual, but i put in some dried cranberries, raisins and some almonds. was super tasty!

lunch - bean chili (well...kind of. turned out a bit more like spicy baked beans with onions in...but worked nevertheless) and a baked potato.

mandarin if there are any left.

not sure what to have for dinner...probably left over chili
