Recent Food Highlights

Philadelphia, PA:
The Winter Plate at Horizons. Four words: Dijon Seitan Cauliflower Terrine. This was like a fancy mini shepherd's pie.

New Harmony. Everything at this place is good. I've recently discovered their Beef with Broccoli and Peanut Sauce. So, so good and just enough peanut flavor. The Walnut Shrimp is also killer, if the super-firm texture doesn't freak you out. Last night, I had a bite of someone's seafood in a nest(?!) and I am totally getting that next time. The sauce was super-flavorful and savory. Love this place.

Cozumel, Mexico:
El Perro Verde, Cozumel's only all-vegetarian cafe. I can't believe I found this place because I wasn't even looking for it. I got a homemade veggie burger, which was a huge crispy patty filled with beans and seeds. I also got a nice soy-based smoothie with soy milk, banana, ice, a bit of soy ice cream, and wheat germ. It was just barely sweet and very refreshing. So glad I found this place. What a find!

Later in the day, I allowed my carnivorous family to eat in my presence at a regular restaurant. My spanish-speaking brother ordered me two mojito cubanos, menos alcoholica. Or something like that. They were super-good. I love mint.
