You all know how hard this is for me, Sir Meatatarian.
This was my breakfast. I forgot to plan for my raw vegan meal and the company cafeteria didn't have anything but bananas and apples that were raw vegan. Silly me.
This was my attempt at assembling lunch from the cafeteria salad bar. Two controversial foods in this bowl. The first are the black olives. Most likely they came out of a can, which means they were definitely heated above 120 during the canning process. Also, along with the cold pressed olive oil I used some balsamic vinegar. The grapes are heated at some point in the process of making balsamic vinegar. Whatever. I was hungry!
I was still starving by the time we left work hours later. We ended up stopping at three different stores to assemble my raw vegan fantastic dinner.
Organic raw lemon garlic dill sauerkraut. Amazingly good. Almost overwhelmingly sour between the natural fermentation and the lemon juice.
Raw macadamia nuts. A little harder than the roasted variety but much sweeter.
Kohala won bok kim chee from Hawaii. Not very sour and doesn't contain fish sauce like traditional kimchi (yay for this, so I can eat it this week). This stuff has the perfect salt level for me.
BEST DESSERT EVER. Raw vegan coconut macaroon. Chewy and wildly delicious.
Look at that texture. Now, it's not the best coconut macaroon I've ever had, but it's in the top three. I'm eating the other one RIGHT NOW.
Lastly, my wine pairing. Best four dollar wine I've had in a while!
