I’ve been sick and busy so I haven’t cooked much lately. Brad made his super delicious Noodle Meal on Monday night and he and I ate it ALL. I’m more of a naked food person, so he’s the sauce master in our house. I call him in to sauce our veggie burgers and noodles, etc. I’ll have him share his Noodle Meal recipe and its million variations soon!
In keeping with my “no cooking” theme, we went out for lunch on Sunday to Bye and Bye on Alberta, an all vegan bar. The food menu is limited but everything I’ve tried has been excellent! Brad had the BBQ platter; it comes with yummy BBQ tofu, black-eyed peas, collard greens and a delicious, crispy toasted baguette. He has had and enjoyed the Weeping Tiger sandwich before, but it is REALLY really spicy. You think you’re more bad ass than a tiger, fool?! I had the Meatball Sub and it was so good, I only intended to eat half and save half like a proper dainty girl. I then picked at my “saving” half until it too was gone. I didn’t feel so dainty but I was pretty full and happy with myself. My favorite thing about the sub…they used a delicious almond-oat cheese spread on the baguette and it was PERFECT. I’m not a huge fan of vegan cheeses that try and replicate actual cheese. They tend to have a texture that I can’t handle. The almond-oat cheese tasted perfect and didn’t make me gag once!
But let’s cut to the chase…the drinks are YUMMY, especially the Bye and Bye. It has peach infused vodka and bourbon, cranberry juice, and lemon. You can care for your bladder while you destroy your liver! I took a picture of it to make Kristin thirsty. Now I torture you, too.
Back to Eden, the vegan bakery, is not walking distance from Bye and Bye. Or not on a yucky April day, anyway. We drove up there (you have to keep your eyes peeled if you’re driving, it’s tiny and easy to miss) and I bounced around in front of the counter while the nice man made me a dish of chocolate soft-serve with caramel sauce and Dandies marshmallows, YUM! Brad had a peanut butter shake and no one ended up wearing it so it must have been good!
Alberta, I love you and I will be back…and not only when I’m sick and lazy.
