Brussels Sprouts!

At work they have these really delicious Brussels sprouts from time to time, they have mustard seeds on them.  I grabbed half a plate of those, along with a couscous-stuffed mushroom, and two pita chips with some hummus.  It was shaping up to be a nice healthy vegan lunch.


Then I had a tiny bit of pink sparkling wine, as my team was celebrating a few things, including my recent successful dissertation defense.


There may have been mini cupcakes involved.


Either way, I blew it all to hell when I saw this lemon meringue pie calling to me.

Birthday Lunch

Yesterday was my birthday.  I ate way too much at both lunch and dinner.  Oh well.  One day a year is not a huge deal.


At the top left is a butternut squash soup.  I thought it was alright, but apparently later batches were too salty.  The main plate has a bunch of curry, but it was just OK, I don't even think I ate it all.


They had some tomato and mushroom pizza, so I had two small pieces of that.


I also had some of the Brussels sprouts.


And a piece of chocolate cake, since it was my birthday.
