Hello Rehabbers! So today I had the rare luxury of an evening off from work, which really never happens on a glorious Wednesday. This opportunity was taken advantage of by high tailing it to the
Turkey Lake Whole Foods here in O-Town. What is so special about this Whole Foods at this time? It is a time of great exploitation and celebration, it is the Block party. This party consists of bounteous free samples as far as the eye can see. As Grandma treated this bounteous blessing with finesse, a.k.a tried as many free samples as she could, I partook of some of the vegan options.
First on my list of limited samples was a raw apple crisp that made my taste buds have a Jersey Shore-esque dance party in my mouth. This was washed down with some organic apple cider, and man was it delicious. After walking around the store shopping for essentials, and the g-mizzle on a sample rampage, I arrived at the only other vegan options for the evening. The first was a dark chocolate truffle that made my toes curl, and I swear is the answer to world peace. The other was a gazpacho made from tomatoes and peppers and utter deliciousness.
My favorite part of this outing was trying something new. It was the first time I tried Seitan. It was a prepared in a mexican cuisine style with black beans and some yummy peppers and veggies. To complement my selection I piled on some yucca [sooo good!] and platino. All I can say is this is my new favorite from whole foods. It was just the right amount of chewy and spice. Washing it down with a nice ginger pear kombucha left me feeling satisfied and happy to finally try another veg mainstay. All in all it was a great evening, well pre home work at least. Any suggestions on what I should try next or your first encounters with a strange or new vegan food? Please leave all suggestions/ experiences in the comments section and I will definitely use or mention them in the next post. Lots of Rehab Lurve - L
