While it isn't a vegan restaurant it is very easy to find food here which is always great. <br /><br />I did see the ideal husband banner but didn't think anyone else would notice. In fact I am not sure Dan saw it, LOL. ;-)<br /><br />It was a great day just a really long one.<br /><br />enjoy your weekend,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-7367378375291770462011-03-11T22:57:21.742-05:002011-03-11T22:57:21.742-05:00WOW, I am totally inspired by all those dishes, es...WOW, I am totally inspired by all those dishes, especially the cauliflower and potato salad! They sound great. Had you known this restaurant was there previously or did you totally luck out?<br />I also like the "Jaleo" pic from over Dan's shoulder - did you notice the "Ideal Husband" banner in the background? Quite telling ;)<br />Looks like you had a really nice time!foodfeudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589414740603993442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-65386865810163606852011-03-11T19:49:16.436-05:002011-03-11T19:49:16.436-05:00Elizabeth,

It was worth seeing, both Dan and I were surprised by what we learned and we aren't new to this. If you watch it I will be interested to hear what you think of it.<br /><br />enjoy your weekend,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-5990705234066954472011-03-11T19:34:54.584-05:002011-03-11T19:34:54.584-05:00The film looks good (well, not "good", b...The film looks good (well, not "good", but you know...)

Most of the veg ladies I know are married to omnivores and that seems to be a source of regular contention.<br /><br />Regarding the movie disclaimer I don't think it was "that bad" and I am not good with things like that either. I did have to look away a few times but that is because I don't even care to see animals crowded in pens. There was only one short part of the film that I would call disturbing and it was fairly mild. I think you should see the movie, it was eye opening for me.<br /><br />enjoy your weekend,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-82776885236470387462011-03-11T10:55:19.843-05:002011-03-11T10:55:19.843-05:00Hi Ali,

You and Dan are truly lucky to be so aligned with one another on such an important topic. <br />Funny but intriguing thought- my mom said I should get involved in a vegetarian group to meet people/guys that have the same interests. I really like that idea actually, for potential relationship but also just for support and introduction to new things.<br />~Jill <br />p.s. I'm exploring Pig Business and am a little anxious about the "graphic image" cautionary line on the website!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-21650706491597638052011-03-10T21:38:17.801-05:002011-03-10T21:38:17.801-05:00Chris,

The taste was okay actually it was the texture that we didn't like. While the raw tempura was somewhat "crunchy" it was odd at the same time. Sorry I can't describe it better. I am not very hopeful that we will like another batch any more, that is how much we didn't like it.<br /><br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-21218090813069468812011-03-10T21:29:51.757-05:002011-03-10T21:29:51.757-05:00Love your blog !!!

It was a good day yesterday but wading through about 100 pictures today to select the ones I was going to post took me a long, long time. <br /><br />I just started adding wheat germ to oatmeal. It doesn't really change the flavor and adds to the nutrition of the oats.<br /><br />I need to crash since I haven't slept much in the last two days.<br /><br />Enjoy your evening,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-73702212760542198012011-03-10T20:25:21.952-05:002011-03-10T20:25:21.952-05:00Dianne,
