Lunch was a Miso Soup with Shiitake Mushrooms and a salad of red leaf lettuce, pickled onions, marinated chickpeas (leftover from dinner several nights ago) and my ginger vinaigrette. The soup picture is blurry. I am having problems with food in bowls.
Dinner was a date night. We went to Willow in Fells Point. www.willowbaltimore.com . It is a very nice lounge with couches and coffee tables for a comfortable feel. We started the night with cocktails and fried plantains. For my main course, I had the vegan tofu tacos which were excellent. They are served over rice and black beans with salsa and guacamole on the side. A definite thumbs up.

When I gave up coffee last year, I replaced it with a morning green smoothie. Obviously, the caffeine withdrawal was a bitch, and the green smoothies didn't quite keep me alert like caffeine. But after awhile, I started to notice that I had a lot more energy in the mornings...I think they're overall better for me.
I use a regular blender though, and whenever I use kale, it never quite blends it enough to make it perfectly smooth. And even at its smoothest, kale has such a strong flavor. I find that spinach is the best green to use. It always blends really smoothly, and the smoothie always has the taste of fruit (and not the bite of greens). I still use kale every once in awhile though - I've learned to actually like the taste and the weird, tiny chunks of kale in my smoothie :)
I think if i used the regular blender, it would have been better. Then again, I have a really crappy blender. There is a crack in the base that holds the blade and I was all excited about getting a new one. Then I realized I could just buy a replacement part. That is the most prudent thing to do. Boo.
