Rainy Night

by eatingbirdfood on September 5, 2008

I don’t know what got into me this morning but I slept until almost 10 AM. I’m usually an early riser so it was a surprise to wake up and see the clock at 10. I decided to have a bowl of puffed wheat cereal with half of a banana mixed in. I used the other half to make a little fruit plate- bananas with dots of peanut butter and some pineapple.100_1621.JPG

I went to the gym, ran by target, and went to the local health food store Ellwood Thompson’s because I was craving more of their Tempeh mock-chicken salad. I had a few in store samples while I was there – mainly of bread. I got home and served my tempeh on top of some spinach and tomatoes. I was starving by this point because it was already 2 PM -it was so tasty. 100_1624.JPG

Oh and I decided to make homemade pumpkin pie yogurt. I stirred some cinnamon and pumpkin puree into the vanilla yogurt with a little granola sprinkled in.100_1625.JPG

Then I had a handful of chocolate chips to satisfy my sweet tooth.100_1627.JPG

Around 5:30 I ate a few bites of whole wheat sourdough and a few bites of quinoa while Isaac was napping. When he woke we decided to walk to a nearby wine tasting (all wines from Italy) and eat at Ginger Thai Taste. It was a rainy walk, but worth it, the food came so quickly and was so good. I love Thai! I ordered fresh shrimp spring rolls and had a bite of Isaac’s basil tofu. 100_1635.JPG

I think we are going to stay in and watch a movie. No better way to spend a rainy night.

Two of my favorite places in this post, Ellwoods and Ginger Thai!

I have never had that tempeh mock salad. When I worked in downtown Richmond, there was a street vendor who made it with tofu and to this day I can not duplicate it at home :(

Hangry – Yeah, I got it from the prepared foods section of the health food store and the container has a print off on it with an ingredient list:
grilled tempeh
carrots
celery
onions
veganaise
wheat-free tamari

I looked up recipes and I think this one sounds close.
