After I hit ‘publish’ on my lunchtime entry, I cooked up a 100-calorie pack of Kettle Corn popcorn and sliced up a few carrots, and went to go to see Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. It was awesome! I highly recommend it. It was funny and kick-ass. One of my favorite moments was when one of the ex-boyfriends was a vegan and it made him psychic, and it was only after he accidentally drank half-and-half that he was vanquished! It was a take on the trend that seems to come up every once and a while that people seem to think vegans think they’re better than everyone else. It’s true that there are a few vegans that are ‘holier-than-thou’ in their attitude. But most vegans I know are sweet, and just are vegan because of their personal beliefs, and they don’t hold it against anyone that eats meat. Still, it was so funny!
get all sad and stuff!
When I got home, I immediately began making my dinner because I was so excited about it. Vegan alfredo sauce sounded too good to be true, but I had found a few recipes that swore by a combination of hummus and nutritional yeast. I mixed that with some lemon juice and added it to peeled zucchini, mung beans, and stir-fried tempeh and broccoli:
AMAZING, but I think next time I’ll just use tofu noodles or regular pasta. I wanted something warm in there along with the broccoli. But the broccoli was great because I undercooked it slightly, so there was a definite crunch. And I will always love stir-fried tempeh.
It’s funny. I don’t really miss meat. I eat it every once and a while, sure. But I don’t crave it. Nor do I crave milk or any dairy products besides ice cream and yogurt.
For dessert, a plum with several pitted cherries, along with a little warmed dollop of chocolate sauce and some Reddi-Whip.
Now, off to rest my sore arms from carrying all that stuff around, and get some rest!
I can't wait to see Scott Pilgrim! Your dinner looks delicious, I now have a fancy for veggie pasta with that hummus and nutritional yeast sauce x
