Day 20

Katie and I went to Affinity Vegetarian Restaurant on Edmonton St last night for dinner.

We ordered the combo, which starts you off with a choice of Hot and Sour Soup or Wonton. We both chose the Wonton. It was excellent!

Then we had Sweet and Sour Soyapork, stir fried mixed vegetables, brown rice and spring roll.


Katie wasn't crazy about the soyapork, but liked everything else. I didn't mind the soyapork but it was a bit chewy. The small dish contains seaweed and sesame seed, it was crispy and pretty good. Everything else was good. The whole combo cost $9.50. We both liked what we chose at "Delicious" Restaurant better...but perhaps we just need to try something else at this restaurant...we will see.

BREAKFAST

We had oatmeal for breakfast with banana and blueberries. We had espresso coffee beans which we ground that were purchased from the bulk barn. A lot cheaper than Kicking Horse but pretty good.

LUNCH

We had waldorf salad and leftover shepard's pie. Very good!

TOFU AND SOY PRODUCTS

Lately I have been reading some disturbing articles about using Tofu and Soy Products, which seem to be a staple for many vegetarians and vegans. Trouble is....just like lots of other things, there are proponents on both sides, with lobbies and huge companies vying for $$. So what is one to believe, and how do you decide? For me, it is a matter of informing yourself and then going with what you think is logical. What else are we to do? Companies, so called experts, studies paid for by large outfits out to make $$, ordinary uninformed people who just simply believe something but if you ask them...have no idea why they actually believe what they do.

It's tough...these days to know what to believe. Look at the American economy...many of the so called "Experts" and people with financial designations...had no idea what was happening while it was happening, and have no real idea how to stop it. It all seems to be a massive guessing game, just like trying to pick healthy foods, prepared in the right way, for your health.

Here is one point of view about Tofu and Soy



DINNER

We had vegeterian pizza for dinner on a whole wheat crust. No cheese of courese, but it was great!

Then the piece de resistance....apple cinnamon pizza for dessert....Awesome! Whole wheat crust, apples, apple sauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves.

Here it is....


and now....we would like to thank the members of the Academy, all the crew, everyone in the world....etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum.

more later.....
