amazing food

i ate surprisingly well yesterday (other than my 2 desserts after dinner but they were special treats). unfortunately i didn't get photos of any of it so you'll just have to picture it. for breakfast i had my usual breakfast burrito (scrambled free range egg, rice and hot sauce wrapped up in corn mountain bread-- tortillas are expensive and small here but mountain bread works almost as well and its made just down the road from us!). i bought myself one of those lunch containers with 3 compartments the other day so i would be inspired to make better lunches for my 1 day a week where i have to take lunch to work. so far its done well (this is the first week i've used it). for lunch i had a salad of chopped up mushrooms, tomato, celery and cucumber with spicy chilli, lemongrass and ginger dressing, crackers with cheese and fake salami (i don't even really like it cuz it tastes too much like real salami. for some reason zac really likes it though and he generally hates fake meat stuff-- except tofu dogs) and rice with fake bbq-ed chicken. for dinner i went all out and made fresh spinach pasta in our pasta maker (an engagment gift from our friends adam and claire) and homemade sauce with eggplant and mushrooms. for dessert i made vegan jello that i got from the cruelty free shop last week. when zac got home he had a chocolate bar thing from one of his clients (the refugee who zac has been doing a lot of the casework for, he sounds like a great guy and he's been thru horrible situations. he bought wombat--who he hasn't even met--a treat for valentine's day- how sweet is that?). the bar wasn't vegan (he knows zac is vegan but he wasn't sure if it had dairy in it or not) so zac said he'd give it to me. it was a type of chocolate bar he used to have as a child. it was REALLY good! like a coffee crisp but better. i'm gonna have to find out where he got it (zac said it was from a middle eastern place on sydney road-- there's a lot of middle eastern places on sydney road).
today isn't looking like its gonna be quite so good for eating. its almost 11 and i havent had breakfast yet (and i have to have lunch before i go to work at 12 too). i'm not sure when we're gonna fit dinner in cuz we're picking up a flexicar right from work and heading out to ikea to spend our engagment gift vouchers. at least i'm pretty sure i'll have a nice fruit platter for afternoon tea (one of my co-workers always makes us our own fruit bowl when she cuts up fruit for the kids)
