Most of the blogs I have been reading seem to always feature some food or something. Anyhow, this what we had for lunch today. Vegan pizza from my fave bakery in town, The Montclair Bread Company (www.thebreadcompany.com), hummus on whole grain bread, and a summer salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and basil.

The vegan pizza from the bakery is amazing, eaten at room temperature. The crust is made with spelt and toppings usually consist of su-dried tomato, swiss chard, onions, zucchini, and either cubed tofu or grated tofu (hehehe, pretty clever cuz it actually looks like cheese!). Heather (worker at the bakery) makes the most amazing hummus (lemon garlic!!!). [We will miss Heather when she leaves the USA in January 2007 to live in Costa Rica! She is going there to build houses and to further her pottery repertoire]

Unfortunately, the hummus we ate for lunch was not from there because me and Marlis got to the bakery just when another customer purchased the LAST container. (Lucky lady!)

AND their cranberry date spelt buns (with yummy maple syrup glaze) are the best, esp fresh out of the oven. Saturdays at 10 am is the time.

Tonight, we will be having dinner at a friend's place. He will make a classical French meal. Our contribution to the meal will be a bottle of Cava for aperitif and vanilla gelato for dessert, which I churned this morning and it is now curing in the freezer! Home-made ice desserts are the best! No preservatives and definitely no artificial colouring!!!!

BTW, I found out that I was unable to post or read blogs at work. They have set up all kinds of filters so that we can increase our productivity at work!
