My Bloggy Journal
03.13.10
I have been blogging for 2 years and 3 months. It’s kind of crazy. I can look back and see exactly what I did on various days. I’m going to make it a point to write more about my days… I may or may not include food. I don’t like getting obsessive!
Today I will include food, or at least mention it. I am on a Souen kick (macrobiotic, vegan and vegetarian – but has fish restaurant) and I cannot get enough. For brunch Bobby and I went to Souen in Union Square. I got the Brunch A ($8.50, the best deal ever) again:
- Kenchin-Tofu Drop Soup - tofu, shiitake, burdock, carrot and watercress in kombu kuzu broth
- Corn Bread (you can also get Spelt Bread or Sour Dough)
- Steamed Vegetables (carrot, daikon, kabocha squash and greens)
Bobby got the Scrambled Tofu with Salmon ($10.50) – Served with brown rice, bread and yam and mesclun salad. You can also get this with Tempeh Bacon for $2 less, but we are not really fans of tempeh. Here is my crappy phone picture:
I shared my soup, took most of my cornbread home, and ate Bobby’s yams. I also had a lot of their miso tahini dressing, which I posted a recipe for the other day.
When we got home we needed to relax, so we went across the street to a spa called Enliven. We got a Couples Massage – 60 minutes for each of us and we were next to each other (screen between us). It was really nice. The spa is very Traditional Chinese Medicine-y and I know they also offer acupuncture and other cool services. They have good reviews on Yelp.
For dinner I made a salmon head/neck that I got in Chinatown (I just boiled it with veggies and dill and miso, but I will post a more official recipe later… when I feel like uploading pictures). I also made a Porgy that I learned to cook at last week’s cooking class (which reminds me that I still need to post about that). And kabocha. I’m kind of giving in to my kabocha addiction again. I fully expect to regain my orange glow.
Now we are sitting on the couch. We watched this week’s Biggest Loser (I am getting a little bored of this show, which seems to be one big long commercial) and I don’t know what else we’ll do for the rest of the night. I think I see more kabocha in my future (sad, but it makes me happy).
Tomorrow’s plans? I am going to try to get down to Souen in Soho at 10am for a talk with John Kozinski, who is apparently some famous macrobiotic dude. Then Bobby and I have a brunch double date with a friend. I think we’ll go to The Mudspot. (Anyone been there?)
What did/will you do this weekend?
