Snacking ...

Yummy freshly picked plums (which turns out to have a GI of 39, on average) brought into the office by a co-worker (I suppose from a tree in his/her garden)

Impromptu "Hawt Dawg"

For dinner we fired up the BBQ (since it's BC day and all) and cooked among, other things, one of the staple of the vegan diet: Portobello mushrooms. Since we had "hot dog" style buns, I thought I should try making a "hawt dawg" out of the mushroom ... and it was yummy! Here's what I put in it:

• 1 portobello mushroom (BBQed, sliced in two)
• 2 slices of Tofu (BBQed also)
• half of a small bell pepper (BBQed)
• mustard, relish, ketchup

Assemble and enjoy!

Banana Blueberry pancakes!!

Page 76 of the famous "Veganomicon" is the bet recipe of vegan pancake that I have fond so far. Even the kid likes it and he's kind of picky ... I used whole wheat flour and banana instead of white flour and just blueberries

Tofu Bánh mì @ Bale Sandwich Shop

After our run (and the veg fest), we took the Skytrain (then walked a bit) to Chinatown to grab a bite. I had the Tofu Bánh mì at Bale Sandwich Shop which is a pretty popular spot in Chinatown (not to mention relatively cheap). It's the first time I have ever noticed they had a Tofu version of their signature sandwich. I don't know if it's a recent addition, but it's pretty good (likely more vegetarian than truly vegan). The tofu could use some marinating/flavoring thought ... but for $3 you can really expect too much.

Hello World!

Well, here we go! A new blog for my musing into the art of Duathlon (as a flexitarian)! In case, you are wondering, I've had that cycling bottle since 1999 (and it's from HP Bike Works in Kona, Hi).
