Eating Out 3


Last Saturday there was a city/musical festival thingy in Essen (a city with half a million inhabitants about 20 kms from mine. If you write "essen" without the capital E, it means "eating" in German. Yay!).

The festival was pretty boring, but I had some great soy meatballs in curry sauce (probably TVP-based) with rice. A giant serving, just right for me!

Then we also discovered the hugeste Alternative clothing store I've seen in Germany so far.
I couldn't spend any money because we went to the huge Basic health food store before where I eventually bought gomasio and too many variations of vegan soy desserts!

We also found out that there will be a huge Diwali-like Indian festival in Stuttgart in November, so I decided I'll be visiting my ex in South Germany for a couple of days then.

I also made a huge online book and bento supply order that night. I was surprised to find all the books except for one in the mail today (included a vegan Thai cookbook, a book featuring only tomato recipes and one with exotic fruit- worth buying it for the photos alone!).

Unphotogenic curry, darn you!

Eating out


Ok, I've seen to many strange gay movies lately. However, this is not an excuse for not blogging.

The excuse is: a lot of work, a nasty stomach bug that wouldn't go away for 2 weeks and blogger not uploading pics.

The last couple of weekends, the weather was surprisingly good.
Two weeks ago, there was the "Veggie Street Day" in Dortmund. I was sorta dissappointed because it was just the same as last year but without a proper stage programme and it was a vegan-only event though it took place at the end of the city's hight street.
No attempt was made to interest any omnis in the event, it was all the antispeciests' big horror show.

I only ate a bit of a boring vegetable paella. That was all solid food I ate in that week, except for soy yoghurt and breadsticks.

Azumi had some cherry streusel cake (wet dream of my childhood! Need to make some myself!)
