Im going to try to blog my meals. Although I've already missed a few things. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Hong Kong is such a crazy city. I feel like I still love it and hate it. I always get whirled into shopping too much even now when I have no money. This city makes me want to go out more, see more, do more but then I get tired and over the heat and the crowds and just want to retreat. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm seeing a new side to it at the moment though. Its no particularly baby friendly, I'm glad for baby wearing because I think prams and strollers would be tough here. Also parent rooms are hard to find especially areas to breastfeed privately. But it's also nice seeing so many people playing and talking to our 9 old month old son. He's been loving the attention and seeing his HK relatives and all the neon lights.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Anyway, on to the food.</p>
<p dir="ltr">First meal that I managed to take photos of was this delicious kale risotto. This was so much better than it sounds. Brown rice risotto cooked in wine with crispy tofu 'bacon'. My bowl was licked clean. I also devoured their sweet potato fries with a garlicky aioli type dip and a juice. Toby enjoyed his big vegan breakfast. We will definitely be back.</p>

Olive oil and butter is a Greek cafe/bakery. They have at least one sweet bakery item which sadly my coeliac disease stops me from trying and reporting on. They recently started offering all day breaky on the weekend which includes a vegan and gluten free option. Their polenta is creamy and porridge like but not lacking in flavor, served with slow cooked beans (gigantes) and avocado. They somehow manage to pull off both slivered almonds and crispy fried shallots together too. </div>

Bonus points for having high chairs and interesting flashing lights which together with a friendly waitress helped entertain my 9 month old son. </div>

Hi, remember me? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Despite living in the west for 9 months, I had never really heard much or come across green global vegetarian food mart until recently. It's situated in Braybrook which is close by but a surprising destination, close to sunshine and west footscray. It seems it was <a href="http://herestheveg.blogspot.com.au/2010/06/june-19-2010-global-green-vegetarian.html">originally</a> opened near the vicmarket. It's a small shop situated on a rundown strip of shops. </div>

It's quite similar to vincents vegetarian foods, except it is smaller, but has slightly more variety. It sells all sorts of regular Asian mockmeats as well as funky pies, I'm guessing the ones next to it are la panella pies and sausage rolls. They also sell vegusto, notzarella, nakd bars and much more.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Aangan is a fancy Indian restaurant which always seems busy, and despite it's large size, it's hard to get a table without booking in advance. It's the only Indian restaurant I have been to which has both Indian and non Indian staff. The customer service is excellent and the waitress was very knowledgeable about vegan and gluten free options. The website states that aside from their breads and a few entrees the entire menu is gluten free.</div>
<div>

The outside area has a marquee and fairy lights and is generally quite pretty, shame people were blocking the view for this picture:</div>

We went on Saturday night with my mother. We ordered onion bhajis which were quite large, covered in chickpea flour batter and served with a tamarind sauce. I could have easily eaten a whole plate of these crunchy tasty fritters as a main. In fact I'm sure I filled up way too quickly but munching down several of these before the mains come.<br />

Toby couldn't resist a proteiny dish so ordered the dal tadka ($14.50). This was tangy and delicious. I wish the dhal I made at home tasted more like it. I would definitely order this again.<br />

I ordered the baigan bhartha, roasted eggplant curry. It was tasty and mild but I was expecting the smokiness that sometimes comes with Indian eggplant curries. I think next time I'll order the Aloo jeera (potato curry) which is also vegan.<br />

I was so ridiculously full by the end of it. My mother loved her super spicy meat curry too, my mother has a a very high chilli tolerance which generally surprises people as she often out spices many Indian people but she found something which matched her tolerance level quite well even at level 10 spiciness. She and Toby enjoyed the huge non spicy samosas too. Toby said that the pastry reminded him of apple pie.<br />

Jellybread is a small kid friendly cafe filled with retro laminate mix-matched tables and chairs. They have a small menu mostly consisting of breaky options or sandwiches but they are quite vegan friendly, offering soy milkshakes, nuttelex and clearly marked vegan options. </div>

I opted for a strawberry milkshake and when I enquired about whether their soymilk was gf she agreed to make it with gf soymilk since the regular one was not gf. I love that attention to detail and customer service.<br />

I got some gf toast with baked beans and a side of avocado. I also asked for nuttelex, I think its the only cafe I've seen it listed as an alternative option. With an extra sprinkle of salt and pepper, this was a great breakfast. The baked beans were not spicy as advertised but contained veggies and red kidney beans and were tasty enough. The other vegan option I could see was avocado, tomatoes and rocket on toast.<br />
<br />

They also had a vegan cake option and separate gluten free brownies.<br />
<br />
I have read that they have a nice outside area where kids can be found playing on warm days, this is the place to go if you have kids and I look forward to returning once bub comes along. I'm always looking for more breaky options in the inner west, let me know if you have other suggestions.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Unfortunately staff have since confirmed that they use ghee so that their dosas are not in fact vegan!!!!!</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
I'm pleased to announce that I'm feeling a lot better, no puking for 10 days now. Still experiencing nausea and dependent on meds but they seem to be working the closer I get to 20 weeks. I've started eating out again and just enjoying life and had to blog about my latest obsession.<br />
<br />
About my third meal out after a long hiatus I suggested dosa hut to my mother. My mother has been a saint spending most saturdays with me to keep me company and taking me on little outings when I started to be well enough. I was scared about how curry may make me feel sick but that's what I felt like eating and foods with strong flavour are preferable to all the bland ones that I ate whilst I was sick which I still can not eat. Still I was nervous.<br />
<br />
Dosa Hut is a small cafe and its not the fanciest place but it does serve what I believe to be authentic food. My mother and I were the only non Indian people when we went at lunch time. The main street of West Footscray seems to be filled with Indian restaurants but Dosa Hut always seems busy.<br />
<br />
I ordered a vata, a spiced lentil flour patty which was tasty and quite hard and I was a little disappointed that they serve them cold, but at $2.50 can not really complain.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5i01d2VbrSk2IIS2XoBMBvRpgM4H9G-IeK_wJj7YiVz_hMk6paq-wWqmhNy1GcSbpxz95LRYEZQdhPuZtauouf_XWPIn6ZQVSH_ANWAoKV02fm0IyBIs_ay0_UDeyHuLA97jN2e_KkB-0/s1600/20130420_143159.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5i01d2VbrSk2IIS2XoBMBvRpgM4H9G-IeK_wJj7YiVz_hMk6paq-wWqmhNy1GcSbpxz95LRYEZQdhPuZtauouf_XWPIn6ZQVSH_ANWAoKV02fm0IyBIs_ay0_UDeyHuLA97jN2e_KkB-0/s400/20130420_143159.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
I also ordered a masala dosa. Now this really is the best thing I have tasted in a long time. I'm since been obsessed despite eating a wide range of foods since but this really is perfection. Nice crepe type crunchy consistency, most addictive potato curry inside and served with two curries, the one on the far right is a tiny bit spicy but not too bad for me and I can only handle mild range of chilli and also served with coconut cooling sauce. My mother loved her chili and cheese dosa. At $8.95 the masala dosa is such an affordable meal. A can of sprite washes it all down wonderfully.<br />

<br />
My stomach has shrunk a little so I couldn't finish it. Next time I'll just order just a dosa but I remember last time I wanted two. I'm pleased to report they didn't make me sick and I've been dreaming about going back since, trying to convince Toby to go tonight.<br />
<br />

Edited to add: I have heard reports of one person being advised that they use ghee despite them denying it when I asked.

I'm 13 weeks pregnant but there is a but....!!!!<br />
<br />
Let me first start with a disclaimer, I'm very lucky to have got pregnant naturally and not have had a miscarriage during the fragile first 12 weeks. I'm so thankful of that. I know whats it's like to want to be pregnant so much that it hurts and I also experienced a few miscarriage scares which were heart breaking. I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to have miscarried or to have lost a child. <br />
<br />
The but...... is I've had severe morning sickness or hypermesis gravidarum (HG) since about 5.5 weeks into the pregnancy and here for a public service announcement to say that it is hell. I'm 13.5 weeks along now and its still going. It's like sea sickness that never goes away with lots of vomiting. Or perhaps like gastro or food posioning that goes on for months. Also just when I thought it wouldn't get any worse it did, I went from having a few good days a week to none. I haven't been able to eat anything substantial and even plain bland-ish food becomes hated after vomiting up several times so far I've been turned off: rice crackers, rice cakes, corn cruskits, rice, congee, mashed potato (I know!!!), chips, peanut butter, corn chips, ginger beer and more. I think in the future that gastro, food poisoning, any type of nausea/vomiting will be a walk in a park because at least it generally only lasts 48 hours not months!!!!<br />
<br />
I've lost about 8 kilos and I was on the smallish side to begin with so everyone at work has commented that I look super pale and they have noticed that I have lost weight. In fact when I announced it a few people said they were so relieved because they thought I was dying or there was something seriously wrong. I'm super weak and its an effort to shower and I can rarely brush my teeth without making myself vomit and I've stopped brushing and drying my hair.<br />
<br />
I love food and its such a crucial part of my life that feeling sick leaves me completely disconnected, not wanting to read blogs, not being able to go out for meals or allow Toby to cook. He once cooked onion and it woke me up vomiting! It feels isolating too since I can't go out at all without vomiting and really haven't been able to see friends. I miss that the most because I'm such a social person and it feels like everyone is having these amazing lives, hanging out with each other, baking, going to festivals, while I'm stuck in jail. I also miss going for walks and just living. If your reading this and don't feel those things count yourself lucky!<br />
<br />
Two weeks ago I was in peak hour traffic (thankfully) and had to vomit at my steering wheel with my sick bag (very handy things) and some jerk behind me beeped because I didn't move a tiny bit and then when I indicated to get off the road he beeped again and I seriously contemplated throwing the sick bag at him and I never get road rage. I think it's a waste of energy.<br />
<br />
It certainly helped me to decide to only have one child. It's been mine and Toby's mantra or rather coping statement, over and over and over again. There is also no way I can look after myself let alone being this sick and having to look after another child. I can't even feed my cat. I haven't been a good wife, friend or anything for a long time. As one of my twitter friends wisely put it HG: survival mode. I've been completely dependent on Toby and mum to 'babysit' me, to do grocery shopping etc.<br />
<br />
It's miserable. Everyone has tried to cheer with me up with comments like 'you will forget', 'it's worth it' and 'it's a good sign' which do not help at all. In fact they have made me cry on a few occasions, while I've asked myself what is wrong with me? am I just selfish? It's also made me feel super alone, am I the only feels this way? Am I weak or something? But then I realised that its easy from the other side to make comments like that. Try being in my footsteps right now and see if you can hold that optimism every day, week after week .with you head in a bucket for the 7th time that day. I did google once though and read about women who have abortions because they are too sick to care for their other child. Also if I somehow forget how dreadful, relentless this is I've told my friends to hit me if I talk about doing this a second time. I'm serious! Some women with HG go on to have second or third child and I admire their strength but could never do it. Not knowing that I am in for hell again and not being able to be there for child number 1 at all. <br />
<br />
I really didn't realise how bad it could be. Some people have HG even worse! Why don't people talk about it? I think because it is related to pregnancy, its minimalised so much. I do wonder if men had it, wouldn't there be more research into what causes it or better treatment. I also think that women and mums in general must be bloody tough. I know Kate Middelton had to go to hospital but I have to admit that I thought it was just because she was royalty.<br />
<br />
I've tried everything, eating before getting out of bed, trying to have small amount of food in my stomach at all time, ice poles, maxalon, vitamin b6, ginger, lots of acupuncture, wearing press stud needles in my arms (kind of like sea sickness bands), a music therapy mp3 which is supposed to help, getting enough sleep and more. But nothing works!!!!<br />
<br />
I think i've finally found some relief at 13, that a combination of zofran and maxlon taken every 4 hours x 4 times a day reduces the vomiting a lot but still doesn't get rid of the nausea or stop the vomiting. But it's keeping me out of hospital at least. Zofran is generally used for chemo patients and is not subsidized for
morning sickess so it costs about $60 for a packet of 10 and you need to
take 4 a day. That's almost $180 a week. I had to fight to get zofran though and some doctors would only prescibe one box- 2.5 days worth telling me only to take it on my bad days but as soon as I miss even 1 tablet the non stop vomiting returns. <br />
<br />
The house is a mess and Toby had cleaned more buckets that one needs to in a lifetime. I've used up all of my sick and annual leave and now force myself to go to work, generally vomiting before and afterwards. Some days at work too and some times on the way home. I've also had to vomit in public a lot with strangers staring on too. Vomiting and nausea really is the worst feeling in the world. I think pain is preferable.<br />
<br />
I wanted this baby soooooooo badly but didn't expect this. In addition to being super sick I've been depleted and so dehydrated was advised had to get iv drip at hospital multiple times but mostly fought it. If it happens to you and suspect your dehydrated, don't fight it!!! Feeling dehydrated and exhausted and emotional and sick really does equal hell. I feel like fainting a lot and have started having showers with the door open in case I pass out.<br />
<br />
I really feel for people who go through chemo and become this sick, at least there is a good reason underneath mine. One of the recent doctors I went to was amazing and reminded me when I begged her that I can't go on like this for another week or two just to keep dragging my feet one foot at a time and that I was doing an amazing job. Every day feels like a week when you feel this bad and it really is hard to enjoy anything.<br />
<br />
Thanks for letting me vent and I hope this helps someone one day.<br />

My colleague Steph told me about this magical Frozen Yoghurt place <a href="http://berrissimo.com.au/">Berrissimo</a> on Brunswick St that do vegan options. <br />
<br />
They have two vegan flavours (and yes, they are gluten-free!) each week. This week's flavours are watermelon and yellow peach. I was going for the small yellow peach with no topping ($4) but K said the whole point of having fro-yo is the fun of adding toppings. <br />
<br />
So, I decided to go hard and picked yellow peach pieces and two types of buba ($5.5 with three toppings). <br />
It is even better than the TCBY fro-yo I had back home in my pre-vegan days. And yep, picking toppings for your fro-yo is fun! :-) K loved it too, she said it had a great sweet-sour flavour.<br />

I've been to Mr Nice Guy's in ascot vale several times, in fact at one stage it was almost a weekly thing but never got around til blogging it til now. It's an all vegan bakery with tons of gluten free options. Their gf options seem to grow each week, I swear. I have tried and loved their gf raspberry bread, gf cupcakes, banoffee pie, raw chocolate cupcakes, pumpkin choc chip donut and so much more. It's a smallish cafe with limited bench seating options.</div>

Pecan pie. It was my first time trying pecan pie and it was super rice, I probably should have eaten half of it in one setting but it was too good. The gf base was quite good too, not too hard or cardboardy with mild flavour.<br />
<br />
<br />

Peanut butter chocolate cheesecake. Since when do I resist pb chocolate combination? I had to go past on a weeknight determined to ensure I didn't miss it.The cheesecake itself was great with slightly salted peanut butter but I wasn't a huge fan of the brownie base. I prefer their traditional cheesecake bases, either the baked cheesecake or the berry ones.<br />
<br />
I'm yet to try their savoury jalapeno cornbread muffins but will be in again soon.<br />
<br />
<br />
Their customer service is awesome too, when I got the pecan pie, they didn't have any plastic forks and I explained that I wanted to go eat it in the car as a friend who was meeting me had a sleeping baby and they loaned me a regular fork.<br />

Dos Diablos is another food truck that travels to the north and western suburbs. It seems to be often at the yarraville gardens. I went last weekend and discovered their 100% gluten free sign. Yay for gf options, they have three taco options. There is quite a gap in the window compared to other food trucks so you feel like you need to yell your order or stand on toes to pay and collect food.<br />
<br />

<br />
I got a small serving of the papas fritas or seasoned fries. They were thinly cut, lightly spiced with smoked paprika and contained a slight chilli flavour in the sauce. They were perfect, next time I will get the bigger size though!<br />

<br />
I also got their bean taco which is vegan without making any adjustments. It is filled with black beans, mushrooms with corn salsa and salsa verde on a soft corn tortilla. These were good but not amazing. I wanted more salsa and verde and no mushrooms. At $6 a taco, I think next time will need to order at least two with fries. <br />

A few weeks ago I was invited to a picnic and decided to take along some raw fudge. I finished making it and then realised that I thought was a bit of cocoa powder in the cocoa oil was actually mould after I tasted it. I'm not one to give up on a recipe though so I decided to make it again for another gathering.<br />
<br />
This is crazy rich, so cut into tiny bits. But everyone seemed to enjoy it. I'm warning you though its not a cheap recipe to make but quite easy with a food processor. Also is maple sugar not raw???<br />

This love may have started in my first part time job as a teenager in a fish and chip shop. When I first was diagnosed coeliac I started craving them even more. I did indulge once when a friend made some gf ones for a potluck but aside from that have kept craving them. Unfortunately we don't deep fry at home so that wasn't an option. Thankfully there is a fish and chip shop which makes gluten free potato cakes and they use vegetable oil and a seperate fryer for gf items. They have been offering gluten free options for about 4 years.,<br />

I went today and got two gluten free potato cakes. The batter was super crunchy and oh so perfect. I doubt anyone would ever guess they were gluten free. I also got some minimal chips which was a generous serve and had the perfect ratio of crunchy and soft chips. I had two colleagues help me finish the chips who gave them a thumbs up.<br />

Everything with an asterisk can be made gluten free, plus lots of fish of course. I will be trying their onion rings and pineapple or banana fritters in the near future. I'm thinking a quick visit her before or after the beach on hot summer days.<br />

Bongiovanni and KFL: Supermarkets in the West<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sure when you move to a different area you need to do things like find a new doctor, dentist etc but one of the most annoying but also kind of exciting thing is exploring new supermarkets. I'm the type of person who loves to stroll around supermarkets in new countries etc just exploring what sorts of products they have. I'm sure i'm in the minority here and other people have lives or something but if your like me then continue reading if not perhaps this can serve as some sort of boring night time reading to put you to sleep. </div>

I wanted to tell you about two quite different supermarkets they we frequent in our new hood. The first is in seddon. Seddon is a tiny slightly yuppish suburb with several cafes, at least two dog accessory shops and lots of seddon puns: seddonia, seddon deadly sins, seddon hand etc. They are also home o A. Bongiovanni a fancy grocery store.</div>

One warning about A. Bioniovanni though, its pricey. I was so excited to see their big range of special products whereas Toby was just a tad outraged about how expensive it is was. Also they close early like at 7pm on weeknights.<br />

The second supermarket they were frequent a little more is almost the opposite. It's an Asian supermarket in Footscray:<br />

<br />
It has one of the biggest tofu ranges I have seen. I refuse to buy non asian tofu from places like coles (except for the occasional smoked tofu). Asian tofu like yensons have much more variety, better quality and much cheaper (like more than half the price).<br />

Afterwards we rode to reverence hotel which is right next to the bike path. Reverence is an omni pub with vegan options, it is owned by the ex arthouse owners. Every tuesday night they have trivia, $3 tacos and $3 tecate's (mexican beer), but this week they had it today-boxing day. Tuesday never seems to work time wise but a public holiday was perfect timing. We went along with <a href="http://herestheveg.blogspot.com.au/">Cindy and Michael, </a>see their blog in a few days for better pics!<br />

<br />
There was a mixture of hipsters and some older locals but unfortunately there was no inside tables left so we sat outside in the beer garden. Looks like they take bookings since a few tables were reserved. I notice they also had pizzas on their regular menu with vegan and gf options from Thursday-Sunday.<br />
<br />
There was 4 taco options (all gf), two meat options and two vegan options: beans and tofu. Toby ordered one of each for me and him:<br />

<br />
The tofu was my favourite and reminded me of our <a href="http://inthemoodfornoodles.blogspot.com.au/2010/09/best-tofu-tacos.html">tofu tacos</a>, it was crumbled and flavoured with smoked paprika and other spices. It was served with a creamy mayo type sauce with home made salsa and lime on the side. Two wasn't enough for either of us, toby needed four to get full, and I needed 3 in total. I was pretty pleased with my $9 dinner, I really had low expectations but they were both great. The bean taco was tobys favourite, it has mushrooms and avocado and corn in it. Toby was pleased with cheap but good beer. We will be back to try the pizza another night but pleased to have another westside vegan option.<br />

They had three vegan and gluten free menu items, or four if you include edamame which is pretty awesome given a small changing asian menu:<br />

<br />
I couldn't resist the crunchy corn cakes with chilli jam,avocado relish and asian coleslaw and sushi rice ($11.50). These were crunchy and amazing. I seriously regret having to share them with Toby. Next time I'm not sharing them with anyone.<br />
<br />

<br />
I also got the tofu noodle salad ($10.50) with citrus sesame dressing this was a tad on the small size but the fried tofu bits were perfect and it was full of flavour. Next time we might get three dishes to share between the two of us or just eat dessert later.<br />

<br />
I will definitely be eating more from there soon, I look forward to sitting on the grass and eating it at yarraville or footscray park on warm summer night. My brother and his girlfriend loved their omni dishes particularly their bahm mi sliders.<br />

Last time we went to Brisbane, it was a great gluteny filled mockmeat adventure. This time around I was a tad nervous about what I would eat. Thankfully I had the incredibly kind <a href="http://kittensgonelentil.blogspot.com.au/">Susan</a> to pick us up, drive around do a lot of the research and even let us stay with her. She also assisted me with a green ant issue which is much too embarrassing to list her. Lets just say that I discovered that green ant bites hurt and the pain lasts for ages and they can bite all sorts of places! One morning she made us some xgfx cherry vanilla pancakes, served with leftover chocolate peanut butter ice cream. That was certainly worth the plane trip!<br />

First stop was<b> <a href="http://www.greenedgeonline.com.au/">Green Edge-vegan supermarket and cafe</a></b>. I was surprised to see lots of new products that we don't have in Melbourne like the so delicious ice cream range with ice cream made from almond milk or coconut milk.<br />

When everyone (translation: susan, matt and james) recommended having a burger minus a bun, I really thought blah. But I loved the tofu satay burger so much that I had it twice and when on to recreate it back home I didn't miss the bun at all, in fact I think I even prefer it (since I tried it at home with gf bread). The tofu is covered in a chickpea flour, fried and the satay sauce is awesome. The salad has traditional mayo on it.. Sadly, I can't find the picture though, blogger fail!!!<br />
<br />
I also got to have a raspberry spider, haven't had one for years!<br />

I got to try lots of ice cream from there and all three of <a href="http://www.jamesandmatt.com.au/">matt and james</a> desserts, they have vegan dessert place called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/deliciousregardless?fref=ts">delicious regardless</a> with vegan and mostly gluten free desserts, you have to check them out when you are in Brisbane. I do have a disclaimer though: they are twitter friends who we also met up with but I hope you believe me when I say that their chocolate cheesecake was seriously like a piece of heaven, rich sweet heaven:<br />

The chocolate mousse was similarly rich and had a very slight nutty flavour. I struggled to finish it but got some help when we met up with <a href="http://travelingvegan.blogspot.com.au/">Theresa</a>, <a href="http://ironchefvegan.blogspot.com.au/">Amy</a> and Susan.<br />

The lemon cheesecake was refreshing on a hot summer day and meant that I had room for more desserts.<br />

Toby had a list of speciality coffee places to try. He said <a href="http://www.cupcoffee.com.au/">cupcoffee </a>was his favorite. I went along to one of the cafes- <a href="http://www.bunkercoffee.com.au/">bunker</a> and discovered that they had iced chocolate made with melted chocolate and bonsoy and sold in bottles. It was smooth, no lumps at all and rich and awesome on a hot brisbane day. I want to recreate this at home!<br />

We went to a nepalese restaurant on our last night called <a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/cities/337-brisbane/restaurants/1360542-himalayan-cafe/menu">Himalayan cafe</a> on the last night. Susan wasn't joking when she said we better book, even on a sunday night, it was pretty full. We started with an entree called 'mask ko bara' which was a gf patty made with black lentil flour. The tetxure was kind of bready and tasty.<br />

We ordered three different curries. I think we all had different favourites, I think mine was the chickpea curry, toby enjoyed the lemongrass silken tofu one and I think susan's was the potato one. But that might be wrong, they all had similar yet flavours but slightly different heat.<br />

Afterwards we spotted a gelato place called <a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/337/1514311/restaurant/Brisbane/Re-Del-Gelato-New-Farm">re del gelato</a> and went into enquiry and discovered several vegan flavours. I loved the lychee and the mango but Toby was more daring and went for the carrot, orange and lemon gelato (featured centre back) which tasted exactly like the vitamin c tablets that we had as a child, no obvious carrot taste at all but I don't think I could eat a lot of it.</div>

We also went to loving hut but I wasn't a big fan of my gf dishes, while toby enjoyed some mock meat.<br />
<br />
I'm not a big fan of salads (particularly lettuce types) so when Susan and Matt suggested for a last meal that we got to a leabanese place for salads called <a href="http://www.nonos.com.au/">NoNos</a> I was again hesitant but it was awesome.<br />

<br />
I had a plate with a lentil caramelized onion rice salad, a potato salad made with tahini which was awesome and I hate tahini, a chickpea salad and a green bean salad with one piece of fried eggplant. My faves were definitely the lentil and the potato salad.The fried eggplant was so good that I got a second piece and made Toby share it with me. Toby said his falafel was a bit bland though but then he had a lot of falafel.<br />

<br />
Just a quick post to say that we are alive just life has been a bit hectic at the moment, especially since we are the middle of moving house. We haven't moved for several years so forget how much stuff we have. I was talking to someone at a party the other day about the popular blog called <a href="http://zenhabits.net/">zenhabits</a> which focuses on minimalist living, so I have been reading it for inspiration at night, so trying to declutter as we move but its so muck work. Remind me if I buy any new clothing/kitchen stuff in the future to get rid of at least 2 things. On the bright side, i'm looking forward to having room in our new place for a dining table, a proper garden and hosting a potluck in summer time!<br />

I wondered if any of you know of any vegan and gluten free food options in the inner west, particuarly around yarravile, footscray and seddon? I know a few vegan options but struggle a little with the annoying gluten free.<br />

Our friend Craig has recently started working at a vegetarian cafe called Purple Patch in Sandringham. I went along with vegan friends a few weeks ago who had similar fry ups to the ones <a href="http://herestheveg.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/purple-patch-ii.html">Cindy</a> blogged about with tofu scramble, deep fried 'sausages' and loads of other fried things. Craig listed a range of things which are gluten free and savoury but then suggested that he have a go at making some gluten free pancakes. As you all know I have a sweet tooth so I said yes but was a little dubious, you can't just make up a gluten free pancake recipe can you???<br />
<br />
But then this amazing plate arrived with a stack of soft pillowly pancakes, a berry cream cheese sauce (why haven't I had a cream cheese sauce with pancakes before?), bananas and maple syrup. It was A-MAZ-ING. Seriously some of the best pancakes I have ever had, including gluteny ones. My gluten eating friends also enjoyed the bits I shared.<br />
<br />
If you ask nicely when he is working I'm sure he would make them again.<br />
<br />
I also enjoyed a take away coconut raspberry slice.<br />
<br />
Purple Patch has also been blogged about by <a href="http://veganisethis.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/purple-patch.html">Veganise This</a>.<br />

I've been craving dosas since our Hong Kong trip and so suggested dosa hut for a family event. It's a nice looking cafe with very reasonable prices. I wasn't completely confident of their gf-ness because when I asked she said that they use regular flour too but Toby and I were pretty sure that she was talking about the whole restaurant rather than the dosas. I didn't get sick afterwards which is a good sign.<br />

Toby and I both ordered the masala dosa (about $8). It comes with a coconut sauce, a mild vegetable curry and a slightly spicer sauce. The potato curry inside the large pancake was very tasty but also very spicy. My family members enjoyed their dosas and curries too although my grandfathers rice based dish was far too spicy for him. I think Toby struggled too with the spice level, so if you can't handle the heat I would stay away. I loved it though. My mother who is a big fan of Indian food said that she couldn't believe that she had only just discovered dosas. My only complaint was that I was still a little hungry so ate half of a second serve. <br />

While the weather quickly went back to being miserable with only a few good days inbetween. I've kept up some good habits. I'm still eating some junk particularly at the potluck yesterday but I feel that at least I start the days on a good start by having a green smoothie for breakfast. I started out with:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ohsheglows.com/2011/01/13/classic-green-monster/">Classic Green Smoothie</a> from Oh She Glows:<br />
<br />
<b>Yield</b>: 1 serving/2 cups<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<ul>
<li>1 cup almond milk, or milk of choice</li>
<li>1 ripe banana, preferably peeled + frozen</li>
<li>2 handfuls organic spinach or 1 handful kale</li>
<li>1 tbsp chia seeds OR 1 tbsp ground flax</li>
<li>1 tbsp nut butter, optional</li>
<li>1-3 ice cubes</li>
<li>protein powder of choice, optional</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Directions</b>: Starting with the liquid, add in 1 cup
of milk of your choice. Now add in the chia or flax and nut butter.
Next, add in the spinach followed by the banana on top. Blend until
smooth. Add in your ice cubes and blend some more. <b>Serves 1</b>- about 2 cups.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This was great, I skipped the ice and the protein powder. You can't taste the baby spinach at all, so its a great way to start. It didn't quite fill me up. But I've found that if I increase almond milk to about 1&1/4 cup and increase the seeds or nut butter slightly then I'm right to lunch time.<br />
<br />
I've slowly been making more adaptions using frozen bluberries, cherries, raspberries and using kale and boy choy (yes sounds gross but again can't taste it), I've also used hemp seeds too.<br />
<br />
I'm not a morning person at all, so I put it in my klean canteen bottle and drink it on the way to work. Be warned if you do this to rinse it out straight away. I once left my bottle dirty until I got home which was a big mistake-smell wise. I do need to floss at work now though unless I start getting up earlier and having it at home.<br />

I recently bought some hemp seeds which are supposadly good for you. I'm always suck a sucker for the latest 'superfood'. This <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2868018/">US study </a>suggests a range of benefits like high in omega 3 and 6, and may lower cholestrol and blood pressure. They are actually legal to eat everywhere except for australia and new zealand. So they are sold as a skincare product in some larger health food stores. See below:<br />

<br />
I'm also been making a few different versions of these raw truffles so if I do get hungry before lunch I eat a couple. This is my favourite, its slightly sweet and Toby who hates these sort of raw snacks loves these (and not just for the high protein).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://therawproject.com/?p=8539">Hemp Truffles</a> adapted from the raw project<br />
<ul>
<li>1 cups shelled hemp seeds</li>
<li>1/2 cup chia seeds</li>
<li>2 tbsp. almond butter</li>
<li>1 cup pitted dates</li>
<li>1/8 cup cacao powder</li>
<li>1/4 tsp. salt</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoons vanilla</li>
<li>1 teaspoon maple syrup </li>
</ul>
Place hemp seeds, chia seeds, almond butter, cacao powder, and salt
into a food processor and process until well blended. While processing,
feed in pitted dates and process until the mixture is well blended and
clumping. Add in vanilla and maple syrup. Roll mixture into small, quarter-sized balls and enjoy. Makes
about 15 balls.<br />
<br />
I love these type of recipes, if you have any similar recipes please let me know. <br />

We are such opposites in some ways. Until Lisa on twitter suggested a tofu cheesecake and he suddenly become interested. So I made him this protein packed cake:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>Baked Vegan and Gluten Free Cheesecake with Strawberry Glaze</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Base:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 packet of gf biscuits- 175 grams, I used organ gluten free vanilla outback animal biscuit </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
60 grams dairy free margarine (nuttelex), melted </div>
<br />
Place biscuits in food processor and process til they become crumbs, add melted margarine and press into base of 9 inch case pan. Place in fridge.<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<i>Cheesecake</i> (from <a href="http://bakingbites.com/2005/09/imbb-19-i-cant-believe-its-vegan-cheesecake/">baking bites</a>):</div>
<div align="center">
1-14 oz (390 grams) package firm silken tofu (I think the silken tofu I used was a little smaller)<br />
1-8 oz (227grams) package Better than Cream Cheese<br />
2/3 cup sugar<br />
¼ cup lemon juice (I used tiny bit of lime juice since I didn't have enough lemon)<br />
½ tsp almond essence (I used vanilla)<br />
2 tbsp cornstarch<br />
<br /></div>
Preheat oven to 350F.<br />
<br />
Place silken tofu and vegan cream cheese in the food processor. Process
for 1 minute, then add sugar. Process until smooth and no sugar granules
remain, 3-5 minutes.<br />
<br />
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and almond extract. Whisk in
cornstarch. Pour mixture into the food processor and process until <i>very</i> smooth. Pour into prepared crust and bake for 45 minutes.<br />
Allow to cool at room temperature for 2 hours, then refrigerate overnight.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Strawberry Glaze:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 cup strawberry jam</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tablespoon of water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 punnet of strawberries (you made need more or less depending on how you want to decorate it)</div>
<br />
Heat jam and water until simmering and brush on cake, add strawberries and glaze more on top. Chill until ready to eat.<br />
<br />
I put the strawberries in the shape of a 'T' in the middle. This was a pretty easy cake to make, it does make a small cake though and it does have a slight soy flavour. Everyone seemed to enjoy it though particularly the birthday boy!<br />

<br />
First: I've been vegan for 10 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
I don't really remember what month it was but suspect it was some time between June and August. I still remember family members telling me it was a stage that I was going through. Remember, mum? I think i've changed a lot over those years though in the beginning I was so passionate that I wanted to tell everyone, would happily engage in conversations/arguments whereas now I've become somewhat non confrontational in fact loads of people in my life don't even know, particularly colleagues. I'm also trying to move away from eating vegan junk food and move to healthier wholefoods.<br />
<br />
Second: <br />
<br />
There is a relatively new gluten free cafe called Red Robyn which I adore. I've been twice now. It's an omni gluten free cafe but caters really well to vegans. Often vegetarian places like chinese vegetarian restaurants do not cater at all for coeliacs and gluten free cafes don't cater for vegans. So Red Robyn makes my heart sing!<br />
<br />
The first time I went, I had the sweet potato rosti with smoky beans and avocado which I loved. Yesterday when I went I got the curried lentil pot pie with chickpea chips. The pastry on top of the lentil pot pie was great for gf pastry which is no easy feat. The lenil curry was surprisingly good with a coconut base and the chicpeas fries were amazing. I need to try to make these at home.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then it was DONUT TIME, I got a custard donut. Yes a vegan and gluten free custard donut! I should have taken an inside shot but I was too excited. The donut part was quite similar to a regular donut but it needed more custard. Last time I went I got a vanilla slice which was awesome. I also have a jam donut in my fridge waiting for me to eat after dinner tonight and I had some yoyos last night. The yoyos are ok but perhaps too sweet, but I don't think i've ever been a yoyo fan.<br />

They have lots of other awesome things that I want to try like too like the vegan and gluten free pancakes! The customer service is great and they cater well to other intolerances too like fructose malabsorption. Toby said that the coffee is actually pretty good and they have rice milk, as well as soy milk available. Both times I went with people who can eat gluten like Toby, Michael and Erin and they all enjoyed their meals. My only complaint is that its not super close to my house but so worth the drive! <br />

I've been making these croquettes a lot lately, I never use black eyed beans though, and substitute whatever I have on hand so far I've tried kidney beans, chickpeas and cannelloni beans. They are so versitile too, each time we have served them in a different way, one night we had them with pasta and tomato based sauce and a cheesy sauce, another night with mashed potatoes and gravy and last night we took them to a potluck with a tangy dipping sauce. They freeze really well too. I recommend doubling or tripling this recipe and freezing what you don't need.<br />
<br />
<b>Black-eyed Pea and Quinoa Croquettes</b> from vegan with a vengeance<br />
<br />
1 1/2 cups cooked black-eyed peas, drained, or 1 can, drained and rinsed<br />
<br />
1 tbsp olive oil<br />
<br />
1 tbsp soy sauce<br />
<br />
1 cup cooked quinoa, at room temperature<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp dried thyme<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp dried basil<br />
<br />
1 tsp paprika<br />
<br />
For the bread crumb coating:<br />
<br />
1/2 cup bread crumbs (I used gf breadcrumbs)<br />
<br />
1/8 tsp sea salt<br />
<br />
Few dashes of black pepper<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest<br />
<br />
2 tsp olive oil<br />
<br />
<br />
1.<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 170°C (350°F) degrees. Mash the black-eyed peas (or whatever beans you subsitute) and combine with the olive oil and soy sauce until just blended. I made it with food processor last night but they become too soft. Add the quinoa and spices and combine the mixture. You should be able to mould them into balls that readily stick together.<br />
<br />

<br />
In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the breading. Spray a baking pan with a little oil. Form the croquettes into walnut-sized balls. Gently roll the balls between your palms 3-4 times, then flatten out the ends so that the croquettes resemble marshmallows. Coat each ball with the bread crumbs and place on the baking sheet. When all the croquettes have been formed, spray lightly with oil. Bake for 40 minutes, turning once after 20 minutes.<br />
