Wicked Sick Eats

Yesterday I took myself out for a little sickie lunch — I wasn’t hungry until about 1:30 and when I got hungry, I got HUNGRY.  And I certainly didn’t feel like cutting and cleaning up.  I am so so lazy.  So off I went to The Seedling Cafe, which I’ve blogged about before and I dearly love.  I promised myself I would only go if they had their awesome split pea soup on the menu that day.  They did, so I went.

Vegan Pea and Herb Soup

The Vivian Wrap: Squash, beets, spinach, hummus, sundried tomatoes, broccoli. It was delicious. I ate the chips too, even though I don't really care for chips. These are really good.

Another view of the delicousness.

Later, I went to the store because I’d cleaned out the fridge before we left for Colorado and we had no food!  I picked up a tea latte — I really like the Earl Grey Latte at Bucky’s, but I got the Vanilla Rooibus this time.  Rooibus is a great tummy soother and nursing mothers who drink it can pass on the soothing benefits to their colicky babies.

I wasn’t a fan of this latte though, even though I love vanilla and I love rooibus.  This tasted like straight vanilla extract with a strong alcohol aftertaste.

Later, I had some canned lentil soup with toast (unpictured) and had the husband attack a Thai young coconut for me so I could drink the juice:

This was my first Thai young coconut and I have to tell you, it was incredible.  The flesh is very soft and fresh and more delicately flavored than older coconuts.  The water is unbelievable.  It was incredibly toasty and rich tasting and there was so much of it!  It was a completely different taste than what you get in the packaged coconut water containers or in the old brown coconuts.

And that was that!  Tonight I’m finishing up my continuing legal education requirements (UGH) and I’m off to bed.  I am SO SO SO excited about the Healthy Living Summit coming up in Boston!  How cool is that?  Right in my own backyard!  I hope I get a ticket and I hope to meet you bloggies!

Peace,
