Fri, Nov 21 - Cecy's b-day, Bulan Thai

9.34am - oatmeal w/ nuts and dried cranberries, at work12.38pm - what a mess! But somewhere under the salad is a very tasty vegan Philly cheese steak, made with peppered seitan, grilled mushrooms and cashew cheese, along with a side of non-trans-fat fries, at Native Foods, with Cecy. It's her birthday today, and we were in dire need of a break from work, so I dragged her out for a b-day lunch.
2.13pm - a vegan rose-cardamom cupcake from Native Foods, shared with Cecy, back at work, getting ready for the final meeting this week
7.46pm - and the meetings are finally over! Hallelujah! Ritesh, who's a sweetheart and very pleased at the prospect of no longer having to hear status updates on my meeting prep every night, took me out to Bulan Thai to celebrate - thanks, love! Bulan Thai is mostly vegan, too, and this is their dairy free Thai Iced tea, made with soy milk - a treat, and a deserved one at that, if I may say so myself.
7.46pm - my camera battery was dying so I squeezed everything into one shot: green papaya salad, sauteed eggplant with fake peppered steak (made from seitan), green curry spaghetti with an impressive fake chicken (made from god knows what), and some pumpkin rice. Love Bulan, just wish it was closer to home - Cecy, this is not far from you though (Melrose and La Brea), you lucky girl!
