Earlier this evening, I met my good friend Jillian for dinner at Quantum Leap, one of my favorite vegetarian restaurants in the city.
Though at most restaurants I'm a creature of habit and tend to order the same thing over and over, at Quantum Leap I'm more adventurous and have yet to repeat a meal there! Tonight I ordered the vegetarian curry stew dinner, which came with a green starter salad (please pardon the poorly lit photos!):
The curry stew itself was a melange of seasonal vegetables and tofu slowly simmered in Southeast Asian curry spices.
There were two options for this dish: mild or spicy. I immediately went for spicy, and whew! It was on fire. The broth was actually too hot for me to eat by itself, but fortunately the piles of veggies and tofu helped to tone it down a bit.
On the side, I was given a portion of basmati-lentil rice. Good as far as rice goes, but I always think that it's a rather boring grain!
Of course, I broke out my favorite dessert the second I got home :)
An apple with my last block of Baker's chocolate. Perfection.
I must say that I'm excited to start the week ahead. I don't want to "wish my life away," but each week that passes brings us that much closer to warm weather! Enjoy your evening!
When you eat at your favorite restaurants, do you tend to always order the same things, or do you switch things up?
