I woke up to yet another sunny Sunday in San Francisco. When I go out of town, and have only the weekend at home to bookend my time off, I savor this city even more--and the weather tends to deliver!
Greg came up from San Jose and we "hiked" up Twin Peaks. This was always a bike ride for him and a run for me. We only saw one cyclist, in granny gear, furiously spinning his way around the corner. There were a few more runners and yes, I envied them. Tomorrow David and I will run before work, and hitting that route may be a nice jump start to the New Year.
We picked up David at the house and headed to Herbivore. Greg has never been a vegan or a vegetarian, but he's still always loved this vegan restaurant, and introduced me to their carrot cake a few years ago. When I crave carrot cake I would prefer this to any dairy version. I have no idea what makes it so good, but I do know that the tofu cream cheese frosting is EXCELLENT.
David=veggie burger and macaroni salad
Greg=soba noodles with curry sauce
Anna=gnocchi with creamy marinara (and garlic bread)
I always love their food, and David liked it well enough. A 100 percent vegan menu reminds me of how, in a previous life, dining out with a vegan partner was a bit stressful--except when we'd go to the Chicago Diner (yum again.) Being able to eat whatever you want and not worry about it--knowing you're not breaking your own rules, irritating your dining-mates--is a nice feeling.
While we're doing the vegan experiment, I should be tracking how I feel on a daily basis to determine whether there's a difference. Haven't started this officially, but I will today. Not sure if these metrics are an exhaustive list, but I'll think about energy level, appearance of skin/hair/etc, weight, dehydration...etc etc. A bit much minutia to share with the world so I won't publicize that.
