Monica Visits, Day 1

Breakfast at The Green Bean, Northhampton, MA:
EM^2z brunch!
Tempeh, Arizona: grilled tempeh marinated in tamari & sesame oil w/steamed mixed vegetables & vegan corn pancake
(Northhampton seems to enjoy tempeh that bleeds soy sauce. I liked the vegan corn pancake though - just like crunchy corn bread! And we all know how much I love corn bread.)
Monica's The Big Day: grilled tofu, herb & onion bread w/almond butter gravy, greens, veggie sausage
(The almond butter gravy and bread tasted like salted almond butter slathered over bread soaked in some broth. Went well with the bland tofu and greens.)
Emma's chai latte (had a sip)
(Not sweet! But could use more spices.)
Emma's Itty-Bitty (fried egg w/tomato & pesto goat cheese on English muffin) & chocolate chunk pancake (ate some)
(I was really into the melting chocolate chunks.)
Tea Time:
Gingersnaps, banana bread, dark orange truffle, dark kahlua truffle, dark tiramisu truffle
(Dark kahlua is always good, and the dark orange truffle was also delicious. The tiramisu flavour wasn't as strong as I would have preferred and also a bit sweet.)
Dinner at Moti's, Amherst, MA: 
Because Pita Pocket was closed...
Chelo Vegetarian: hummus, falafels, basmati rice, Persian salad, dolmades
(Those dolmades were disgusting; they were doused in extremely acidic balsamic vinegar and I don't think anyone at the table enjoyed the bite they had. I liked that the falafels were soft, but would have preferred a slightly crunchier exterior.)
Angela & Peter's hummus
Monica's Famous NY Chicken and Lamb
Peter's gyro dinner
Snack:
Apple chips
