Mid June Food Miscellany
June 15, 2023
I’m way into creating my own pokรฉ bowl, like this one from a place called Poke Rainbow. But then… Poof! The eateries disappear inexplicably. I really don’t get it.
Sushi lunch from Kiku. Vegetarian sushi perfection
Drinks after work at Shaka Shaka Tiki. Pulled in by ube, but the space was very small and not at all a destination for a relaxing drink after work.
Yummy… and strong.
Moving onward to the Burrito Bar & Kitchen, we needed some sustenance. After a mango margarita…
Kale-ifornia Dreaming Burrito is kale, sweet plantains, black beans, pico de gallo, and brown rice. Alongside, some guacamole
A mini watermelon from my landlady
I was craving a tofu scramble and there are none around me. This is the one I made myself. It was just what I wanted…
I have been adding a fancy sauerkraut to everything and it is really rounding out the flavors of my eats! Plus fermented foods are good for you.
Watching guacamole being made at Chela on a class trip…
I can eat that whole thing
Their Vegan Tacos, roasted corn, spinach, tomaotes, salsa verde, on housemade corn tortillas
Jai Dee, my usual lunch spot. Thai perfection
At lunch again… Dog Day Afternoon‘s vegan Chicago dog
Munching on my Thai snacks… khao tom mat.
Now my tacos to use stuff up in the fridge. Always a tummy pleaser
My Dad’s 80th is coming up. And I am on cake duty! So this was a trial with these silicone cake pans.
More sauerkraut on things… this is a burrito bowl
Remote day work lunch… Shangri-La lunch special along with some fresh rolls
Pepper seitan…
Meeting friends at Brooklyn’s Fornino
Their vegan pizza. It was good–light on the packaged vegan cheese but, shared with 3 people, I needed more
Cheers!
I tried making a fettuccine alfredo, but got the sauce wrong skipping the almond milk
And now a juice cleanse–three days to be a slimmer mermaid
Making my class cupcakes while cleansing was difficult. These pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes were like my annual tradition, but this is canned pumpkin pureรฉ.
They were a big hit with the kids…
Ok, back on the wagon with Yardsale‘s chocolate chip pistachio cookie
What’s next June?
