Work has ALMOST been FUN, again! YAY! I know this post is VERY late! This is the FIRST time I have 'dressed up' for Halloween in YEARS! A few co-workers and I were talking about simple yet funny things to do for Halloween! I decided to make this tin foil hat and go as a Conspiracy Theorist. I thought it was pretty original. LOL.
I had some neat feedback on Instagram. One guy said I should have had all sorts of newspaper clippings in my pockets and stuff to go along with it. Making this Foil Hat was a bitter harder than it looks. I did wear it nearly all day, tho! A fellow Co-Worker went as "Mother Nature" and wore a wine like halo.
It's so nice having a happier work atmosphere around here! I'm VERY thankful for that! Another thing I was thankful for recently was my trip to The Labyrinth in Jamestown. I've posted about this Vegetarian/Vegan Restaurant before but it's been while since I have stopped by. I pre-ordered 2 Sunday's ago and picked up my order for BOTH Brunch and Dinner.
Yes, you could say I treated myself! It traveled pretty well considering what I ordered! For Breakfast/Brunch I had this little gem! I know, I know...WHAT? No Pictures!? So sorry! I started eating it before I snapped a pic. It was really wonderful, tho! The Lemon wasn't over the top tarty or puckery and the Raspberry was AWESOME! The Vegan Butter was on the side and I dipped my finger in it but didn't feel it 'needed it' so I didn't add it to the Waffle. Same with the Vegan Creamed Cheese. The Maple Syrup was local and super sweet. I usually don't care for Maple Syrup on my Waffles but it was tasty. Next time I might ask for it on the side so I exclusively taste the Lemon and Raspberry on top of it!
Later than Night I grabbed the 2nd course...Veggie Burger! This place has some great 'burgers'. This one was a goodie but there are some others I enjoy a bit better like their Tofu Rodeo Burger, for example.
BUT...this was pretty good, regardless! I opted for the Vegan Cheddar. The Pickle was puckery but in a good way! The Hot Sauce was a nice touch, too! Their Home Fries are similar to Breakfast Potatoes. I really wish we had more veggie places in my region but I sure am thankful for this one!
I chuckled at your tin foil hat that was a great idea. How does the restaurant prepare their veggie burgers. What are some of the ingredients? I'm imagine, they are made fresh, correct? I don't think there are too many veggie restaurants in my area. I'd normally have to trek a bit to get to them, but that's fine. I much prefer cooking my own meals.
ReplyDeleteI thought you might get a kick out of that pic :)
DeleteIn this specific burger I'm not completely sure of each ingredient they used but they are a Vegetarian and Vegan Restaurant. They don't serve any meat/poultry/fish. It's the only one like it in my area. They use local ingredients and organic ingredients when available. They are made fresh, yes! The owner/cook has some really near flavors and sauces he has done on stuff before, too! I remember a Guava BBQ Sauce and it was really neat! I think that was what he used on the Rodeo Tofu Burger.
Love the tinfoil hat, too funny! And the food sounds great, love finding veg restaurants, I just want to try everything on the menu!
ReplyDeleteYes! That's the hardest part! NOT getting and trying 1 of everything on the menu!
DeleteLOL!!! That's a cute hat! Looks like Hershey's chocolate kisses...
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! You are right! It does! :)
DeleteHa - cute costume!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I'm super jealous of your waffles. I rarely come across a place that has vegan & gluten-free breakfasty things (aside from the token tofu scramble...). Sounds pretty awesome!
:)
DeleteRe: The Waffles...they were really tasty! I especially liked the fruit flavors - very tangy and fresh! I wish I could visit them every day but it's not often I get over that way!
