First off, Happy Pride, everybody! It was awesome. Got to go support my partner at her organization's booth, see the parade, catch up with some friends, and check out local organizations. And then we went to lunch :)
So, Snow City Cafe has improved their menu...they're now using a house-made lemon tofu, instead of the baked teriyaki tofu, for their vegan brunch items.
I ordered the Nuevo Huevos, vegan-style. It appears they've either made the switch from using refried beans on this, or they incorporate dairy into the refritos somehow, and used straight-up whole black beans, sauteed with some onion, cumin and seasonings, instead. It was served up on a bed of brown rice and their house ranchero sauce (REALLY good, btw), and a fresh fried flour tostada, topped with the bean mix, and then the tofu. A good start, but it definitely needed the chili sauce I added to it. Their soy latte, though, is one of the best I've had in weeks. No-sugar-added soy milk, so it actually tasted like a latte, and not burnt sugar.
Middle Way's Lotus Bowl this week, was gorgeous. Steamed quinoa and kale, with chickpeas in a coconut red curry sauce, steamed bean sprouts, zucchini, red cabbage, and onions, topped with crisp caramelized onions and fresh basil leaves. Beautiful...and tasty. Mild enough for those that don't like a heavy amount of heat; light enough that you're sated, but not over-full, when done.
That's it, for this week. Wish I could write more, but honestly, house projects beckon! Hope that this finds all you vegans well.
