Antithesis

Last night, in the spirit of healthy-eating, Natalie and I decided to get vegan food.

So we went to a fancy vegan restaurant, the kind where they have more than one fork on the table, and allowed our moustached waiter to tempt us with his recitation of the delicious vegan specials. He should have been a poet...the way he spoke was Keats-esque...only he spoke of all-natural organic vegetables and not romance.

We decided to order and split a giant sampler with three different entrees--- lasagna made with zucchini and macadamia ricotta...butternut squash ravioli...red pepper enchiladas. It was going to be rapturous!

We waited...and waited...

And then they brought out the dish!!!

And I think even a rabbit would have been offended at the meager portions. It was so small!!! SO SMALL! The three-entree sampler was the size of a Lunchable. A LUNCHABLE! And even that is a generous description.

So Natalie and I deftly divided a bite of ravioli, a sprig of salad, a nibble of lasagna, and a taquito-sized enchilada.

Then we paid (too much for too little) and left.

And then we went to Panda Express.
