You are here: Home / Weekend / Study Date

November 17, 2008

Study Date

My organic chemistry friend Victoria and I made plans to study at EarthFare in preparation for our Chapter 10 quiz this Wednesday. This shall be my lunch out this week 🙂

I almost got soup, but when I saw the number of sweet potato/squash dishes on the salad bar, I knew that’s what I wanted –

DSC06002

OK, let me see if I can try to remember everything:

  • Spinach + mixed greens
  • Carrots
  • Broccoli slaw (plain)
  • A few zucchini and squash
  • 3 sweet potato cubes
  • Sweet potato + beet salad
  • Butternut squash salad
  • 4 tofu cubes
  • Curried chicken salad
  • Green beans
  • A weird vegan thing (the brown thing)
  • 2 snow peas
  • SALMON!!
  • Feta cheese
  • Garbanzo bean salad
  • 2 whole walnuts
  • ??? Some vinegar on the bottom. Sure was good!

Plus a Gypsy Coconut Chai tea with a splash of cream –

DSC05999

We only got about 25% of the way through organic 😥 Guess I have more studying on the menu.

Off to lab 👿

    Great combo! I’m interested to know what the “weird vegan thing” was! What made it weird?

    Have a nice Monday!

    Very random question. I know there are a lot of NYC readers here. I am going into the city on Friday any good restaurants in midtown on the west side? I know cheesy area but we are going to see a play on 47th street. so i want it to be kind of close to there.

    Great Lunch! That weird vegan thing – do you think it could be tempeh? It looks like something I have tried before; I dabbled in vegetarianism for a while but went back to eating anything! Unfortunately, chocolate was “vegetarian”:)

    DaisyMay – Try Whym or The Eatery. I’ve only been to each of those for brunch, but that was great, so I’m sure dinner is too. They have interesting twists on traditional foods. Enjoy your show!

    How was that Coconut Chai Tea? I saw it at Whole Foods and almost bought it but decided against it. It sounds delicious though.

    Like the other posters, I’m highly amused by the “weird vegan thing.” Once on a college visit I ate a tofu walnut ball – I think it was supposed to be like a meatball. It was good, unless you were expecting it to taste like a meatball!

    hey kath,
    if it isn’t too nosy (if so, just ignore), how much does a salad like that cost at earthfare? i have the hardest time when i go to places like wholefoods because i can’t really seem to estimate weight/cost…how do you do it?

    I love HUGE Salads more than anything. It looks like your EF salad bar is like the WF bar over here (but only the “good” WF).

    Re. “Weird Vegan Thing”,
    I think this was the same thing the husband brought home the other week – a “vegan roast.” He says it’s most textured vegetable protein? I’ve never had seitan, but it could have been that too based on what I know about it. It was kind of like a soy sauce-flavor and kinda chewy. Kinda good too!

    Shelly ,
    No idea about ToDoist, but mine is having a tab problem. I used to be able to tab down to the date and now I have to use my mouse, so maybe they are updating. Perhaps try a diffrent browser or computer?

    Shelby ,
    LOVE that tea. It’s top 3 favorites. The coconut aroma is the best ever.

    smilesara ,
    A huge bowl of goodies usually runs me about $10. It seems like a lot for “just a salad”, but for a lunch out and considering the ingredients are mostly organic and mostly super-food healthy and considering it fills me up ALL afternoon, it doesn’t seem to be as bad of a price.

    I could eat there every day. For me the nice thing about organic is the higher amount of vitamins in the fruits and veggies. There is so little in the veggies I buy at the regular store. They use the same fields over and over, maybe rotating every 5 years. Many organic farmers take 5 years just to prep the field then only use it once, and prep again. Especially if their product will be used in vitamins. If I ate there every day I could probably say goodbye to my daily multi vitamin…..baby steps.

    DaisyMay–

    This is a very non-traditional suggestion from a true city kid–if you want to get away from the crowds, go here–ETHIOPIAN. Queen of Sheba restaurant on 10th ave btw 45th & 46th is so spectacularly delicious you won’t believe you had never been there before.

    thanks kath! i’m just so bad when it comes to those salad bars — i either make it too light so it’s cheap and i’m starving, or end up spending too much money! but you are right, it’s all good stuff and worth it –boy i’m missing it right now in israel…

    Daisy, also from a native NYer, there’s a French brasserie on ninth I think, in the 40s. Google “french brasserie” or restaurant and I hope it pops up. I think it’s name was Pigalle, but I’m not to sure. My parents and myself ate there before they saw a show and it was pretty good.
