Portland, Oregon: Probably the only down-side to Vegan Month (besides the serious lack of Parmesan) is the serious lack of restaurant options to we rural folk. Downtown Portland has many vegan restaurants and plenty of restaurants with vegan-friendly options. I'm just not willing to drive 30 miles for tofu when I have perfectly good tofu at my house. As I wrote earlier, we have had two lunches out (Cafe Yumm! and Chipotle), both casual places with plenty of animal-free options. Dave and I really like to dine out, and we have eaten dinner at home 19 nights in a row. I think this could be a record of some sort?
Typical day is a bowl of fruit for breakfast (not abnormal most days of the year):

A bowl of Chinese-style noodle soup is common-place as well, but more common this month. DT especially loves a bowl of noodles, and I can use any stray veggies to round-out the veggie broth and Taiwanese wheat noodles.

For dinner, we traveled from Taiwan to Mexico, dining on tacos made with a block of extra-firm tofu - crumbled by hand and drained. I super cheated and used an envelope of Simply Organic Spicy Taco Seasoning Mix. The tacos, served in warmed white corn tortillas, were really good. We used to eat Tofu Tacos quite often back in our vegetarian days (the 90's).




The only things we consumed today that were NOT organic? The melon, the noodles and the salsa.
Until my next update, I remain, your "but it wasn't the same as Tacos Gonzalez" correspondent.
