Vegan Experiment: Day 17

"I could do this forever!" So said I to a wary David, over a delicious banana walnut muffin at Arizmendi this morning. These are vegan, as is the focaccia dough and a few other items. The olive focaccia bialys are thus vegan and if they ever keep cheese off their daily focaccias, it's fair game too.
Mornings are the hardest time to deny myself eggs or pastries that rely on eggs and dairy, but today was just fine. We walked to Arizmendi after double checking for their vegan options by phone. The bakery collective is just over the hill, past UCSF and back down to the Inner Sunset district of 9th and Irving. We tend to like heading there on a lazy weekend morning. Sometimes we go for a run first, but usually we just see another couple there, Randy and Lou Ann, in their running clothes. Randy always asks if we're going to go for a run later, and the answer is almost always no. The walk is good enough.
When not vegan, I have a hard time resisting the scone of the day at Arizmendi, but my repertoire just expanded. Good coffee drinks too, and it's a lot of fun listening for workers' warning cries as they bring out fresh trays of hot cheese things or breadsticks. The clumped line moves aside for the refresh, then pounces on the new items.
