"Chicken" Marsala Attempt #2

This was pretty decent.  I pan-fried a Boca Chicken thing and then made a mushroomy, marsala wine thing on top of pasta with a lot of nutritional  yeast, olive oil and dried parsley.

Long Life Vegi House and Our Anniversary and Happy Halloween!

First and foremost, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! 

Also, it was my second anniversary (Dave's too. :P).  We celebrated at the Long Life Vegi House.  We've been going here when we first met at the tender age of 19.  Now we are 35 and very mature and sophisticated.

We ordered Hot and Sour Soup, Veggie Spring Rolls, Sweet and Sour Pork, Veggie Mu Shu and Veggie Fried Rice. It was so good! 

Their lunch special is crazy good. It's like six bucks and you get soup, a spring roll and an entree. My favorite is the Broccoli and "Chicken".   What's strange about the Vegi House is that the decorating hasn't changed at all in the last ten years. Not a bit. I've noticed a few new drinking glasses, but that's all. It's also the kind of place that you suspect to have a back room where they sell opium or gremlins or something.

Cheezy Grits

If I had known how easy and delicious this is, I would have done it years ago!  Instant grits made with a few cubes of Follow Your Heart cheddar. It's topped with smoked paprika -  it tastes like heaven on grits! That's it. It all came together very nicely.   :)  "Grits" is a funny word.  I like it.

More VERTICAL DINER Love!!!!!!!!!

 

Yesterday was Dave's birthday, and since we couldn't celebrate yesterday properly, we've been celebrating all today.  For breakfast, we stopped at the Vertical Diner. Dave ordered the Avalanche thing (is that what it's called?!) and I ordered the breakfast sandwich with a beer. Everything was perfect. Dave's pancakes were to die for and my breakfast was stellar.
