no, i actually LOVE food

well edmonton has a lot to be thanked for these days...aside from oddly optimistic perspective which i am sure is due in no small part to the (mostly) glorious sun-shiney weather.

i think the rest of my oddly optimistic mood stems from an abundance of good food and stellar company whilst consuming such fantastic food.

i have now chosen to outline my spectacular eating experiences over the past week (there are only 4...don't worry) just because they've been making me feel so fucking good.

tuesday, june 21, 2005
location: red robin
time: 8:00pm
what i ate: gooey cheese sticks. (there were not so good but the sun was out and the company was good)
what i drank: sleeman's honey brown. i didn't want a honey brown i wanted a cool pint of either grasshopper or trad or a bottle of stella but i guess i can't expect much from red robin.
company: natasha. she made up for the less than stellar food and lack of choice as far as beer went but...
notes: as i mentioned i wasn't superstoked about our venue of choice. i wanted to go drink beers on the blackdog's rooftop patio but it was full by 7pm (or earlier probably) as were all the other patios on whyte and jasper. meh...the good thing was, aside from the company, we got to play witness to the very start of a blind date right down to the awkward handshake and random discussions about jobs and friends and past relationships. it was awesome!

location: cafe mosaics
time: 9:30am
what i ate: scrambled eggs, toast and...HASH BROWNS
what i drank: fresh squeezed oj with pulp (*drool*) and water
company: a new friend named eli.
notes: i created a whole post about this yesterday but i just want to reiterate how fucking fantastically wonderful those hash browns are!

locations: high level diner
time: 6:30pm
what i ate: veggie burger with cheese and fries. for dessert i indulged in some wonderful carrot cake!
what i drank: my usual: diet coke with a wedge of lime (how terribly unoriginal of me) and water.
company: sister (rachel), dad and dad's fiancee (sandy)
notes: while the company left a bit to be desired and the constant talk about weddings makes me want to shave my head and move to vancouver i love the high level diner so it was still great!

location: roots organic market and cafe
time: 12:45pm
what i ate: tofu tahini rice bowl: grilled marinated tofu, brown rice, oodles of veggies and a delicious tahini sauce.
what i drank: water
company: charles
notes: well, charles bought me lunch because he was 15min late meeting me (score!) and it was good to see him because he's going to calgary for three weeks to play at one of the coolest theatre companies in canada and our lives barely coincide so...also, i LOVE roots...all organic, all fantastic! and these people actually know how to cook tofu which a lot of places do not.

all in all a very fantastic week of food. this weekend promises not to be as stellar. i will spend the weekend in bridal shower bbq hell the lone vegetarian amidst a sea of carnivores ready to be scorned and questioned. so, i don't eat meat? fuck off and get me another fucking ceasar salad (ugh) while your at it!

anyone free for dinner tonight?
xo michelle.
