Food Pics

On Sunday we decided to check out Latitude 18 since it is under new ownership with an updated menu...

I went for a feta-less Greek Salad with Blackened Tofu. It was fantastic.

The Mr. had Veggie Roti with Rice and Beans and Plaintains. Also a winner. Service was excellent. We will put this place back in regular rotation and hope some iguanas show up, there were none this visit.

Saturday was the annual Coal Pot Cook-Off. I have missed the past two, and was determined to not miss another..

Maybe we were there too early, didnt see much we could eat. Some Rice and Breadfruit...

Johnny Cake Dough...

Frying up the Johnny Cake...

Selling the Johnny Cake (you buy tickets and use two or four tickets per taste)...

Breadfruit, Salsa and Micro Greens...

combined...we didnt eat anything and left after about ten minutes...

Carryout from Love Livin on Monday...Bulgur, Kale Salad, Broccoli and Chili. Very nice.

Sweet Sadie decided to destroy my bathroom reading material. She was having such a good time, I didnt want to stop her. Lots more to come. Bye for now.

Dining By The Water

Sometimes you just want to look at clear blue water while dining. Here are a few vegan-friendly places we've enjoyed recently. Enkai in Frenchtown...

the restaurant looks out on Water Island...the pic below was taken about five o'clock in the afternoon, but it gets darker here earlier...

we started with the Edamame...Our server double-checked on the Tempura Green Beans and reported back that there was dried egg in the batter. She was very diligent about confirming everything was vegan...

we each got an order of Vegetable Rolls. 'Cucumber Roll' for He Who Loves Virginia More Than The Virgin Islands...

and 'Pineapple Express' for me. Cucumber, Avocado, Pineapple and Daikon Sprouts. I even ate the Pickeled Ginger. See how close we were to the water? Buds are $2...

rolled Wasabi Sesame Seeds...

we split a platter made vegan called 'The Storm'. Under all that Arugula, Tomato, Crispy Onions and Sauce were Tofu Rolls...

Caramelized Plaintains on top of the Rolls. Made a little mess. Will definitely return.

Another waterfront option is Latitude 18 in Vessup Bay...

the view is beautiful...

the water is teeming with fish like Snapper and Tarpon...

but the best part for me were all the Iguanas. They came within inches of me to eat the Fries I offered them...

although management said we shouldnt encourage them cuz other patrons arent as thrilled as I am by their presence...

in addition to the view, the fish and the reptiles, there was the 'Ultimate Vegan Burger' $14. Lentils, Local Pumpkin, Mushrooms, Carrots, Red Peppers, Summer Greens, Walnuts and Ground Flax. I usually prefer soy-based Burgers, but this Burger was great. Pretty sure the bun was not vegan. We will be returning soon and often...

Last and, IMO, least is Iggie's in Bolongo Bay. It is located on the beach, but I only took two pics. One of a cup of water to show where I was...

and the other is of my Black Bean Burger. The server said the Burger was vegan. I am pretty positive the bun was not. Since I am not a fan of Black Bean Burgers, I probably wont be returning to Iggie's...

so that post ended with a fizzle. Here is a flower to brighten your day.

Bye for now.
