is it so wrong that we have gone to veggie grill the past two nights for dinner and will probably go again tonight? you see, m is scheduling and the world as both of us know it has come to a standstill and there is a moratorium on cooking at home. it might not be wrong to go to a restaurant three consecutive nights, but it is certainly wrong that we don’t eat until 9 or 10 pm. veggie grill is open until 11 pm and walkable from home so that makes it our go-to late night nosh spot.

the first night, i had the quinoa mac and cheese. i must say, i like quinoa pasta as it doesn’t have that grainy quality that whole wheat pasta has. i also sampled the nachos (love me some spicy raw jalapenos!!!) and the buffalo wings. ah, yes, buffalo wings which are actually soy protein in the shape of a tender smothered in spicy vinegary wing sauce (salivate *here*).

last night, i tried the baja fiesta salad and added the soy protein chicken. this was overkill as we ordered the buffalo wings again and i was way stuffed on soy protein disguised to resemble chicken. but the salad was very good and it wasn’t drenched in the ginger-papaya vinaigrette. the lettuce was extra crispy which was really what i was looking for.

before this recent series of trips, we ordered take-out from veggie grill when it opened many moons ago. we had the chili, the kale salad, and the v-burger. none of these were standouts, although i think most of southern california swears by the kale salad. i love me some kale, i just don’t remember being blown away by the salad.

so what am i having tonight? the buffalo wing salad, of course. with a side of buffalo wings. ;)
