Work is hard



Who knew that work was hard and not fun? Why was I not informed?
Usually when I get home from work I flop on the couch and don't think again until the morning. But I still have to eat, so here's a few things I've been shoving in my face hole:

My friends and I went to the Vegetarian Food Fair the other week. It was a lot of fun, as always. I didn't buy as much as I did last year, but I did get Quinoa for cheap, some fake chicken which I haven't cooked yet, and the sequel to Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, titled Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar.

Above the text is a picture of the Quinoa Salad I made the other day. I just took mixed greens, chopped avocado, halved grape tomatoes, chopped cucumbers, and cooked quinoa, and mixed it together with some olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Turned out really tasty, and quinoa has a crazy amount of protein and iron. Served with "beef" skewers from Gardein.

The top picture is my dinner from last night. I made some Basmatti Rice (cooked with vegetable broth and margarine), and ate it with peas and fake mutton from The Perfect Vegetarian in Kensington Market.

That's it for now. I'm going to try and stop letting my job eat my life. We'll see how that goes.
