Half Empty

Veganized White Russian (almond milk)

Definitely a situation where I see the glass as half empty.

Dinner 4-29-10

Ate at Whole Foods tonight. Was supposed to be a date with my 6yo daughter, but mother-in-law's surgery was postponed, so my wife was still in town and joined us.

Hard to remember ALL of it, but it seems like I got:

Spinach salad w/ a cashew cream sauce, chili roasted butternut squash, sesame noodles, superfood salad, tofu 'egg' salad, seitan w/ artichokes, golden couscous w/ raisins, tabouleh, BBQ tofu, + maybe one or two other items I can't make out in the above mashup.

Yum.
