Day 47: Happy 2010!

Same old, same old for the last day of 2009.  I went for a run in the morning.  It was beautful, sunny, and warm.  Then I came back and had a Banana-Strawberry Smoothie with Flax and Tahina.

Lunch was leftover Sunshine Burgers (tofu, beans and veggies) on a huge salad with peanuts and sun-dried tomatoes and tahina dressing:

Snack was good old Hummus on Rice Cakes (Henceforth to be known as GOHRC).

Dinner will be out somewhere with my sweetie.  Hope I find something vegan.

Last night I went to the monthly meeting of my bookclub.  I'm in a great bookclub with wonderful, witty, smart, and fun-loving women.  I guess someone's been taking a peek at my blog or talkin' behind my back, because almost the entire spread was VEGAN!  There was a crazy delicious roasted pepper soup made creamy with spelt milk of all things!  I'm going to try to re-create that tomorrow.  There was a great salad, roasted veggies, steamed green beans, some fabulous vegetable thing wrapped in phyllo dough, mulled cider AND hot spiced wine!  I just kept thinking, you know you have good friends when they tolerate your food weirdness without so much as a single peep.  Wow.

So tomorrow will be the first day of 2010.  How did we manage to pass an entire decade  in the 2000's already?  Wasn't it just Y2K?  I hope 2010 will be a good year for us here on Earth.  I hope there will be peace and quiet with our neighbors here in the Middle East.  I hope Gilad Shalit will come home alive and well.  I wish you all health, happiness and great vegetable-eating in the Brand New Year!
love,
