Whoa, what a day. Adam and I have had this project that needed to be done, oh, last August. You see, when I used to live with my sister, my bunny Kevin thought that the trim in my bedroom was VERY TASTY. And he chewed nearly every piece of trim in the newly renovated attic that was my humble abode. Last year, Kevin and I moved in with Adam, and the poor attic has been left, nibbled and lonely, for months and months. We finally got around to fixing it up, so we thought today was a perfect excuse to get lunch at one of our favorite Sunday lunch spots--Balsam Bagels. It happens to be very close to my sister's house. (When I lived with her, it was a perfect on-they-way type place between her house and Adam's. Now we have to make up excuses to go there).
Balsam is a great Jewish bagel shop with TONS of vegan options. Remember how I said that Orthodox Jews like vegan food? Voila! They have a wide variety of vegan cream cheese flavors, and nearly all of their bagels are vegan (except for obvious ones like Egg or Cheddar). We usually just get bagels and sometimes share a coffee (they have soy creamer too!) but today I was extra hungry, so I ordered a vegan soup--Thai Sweet Potato. It was pureed, which was a bit disappointing because I like chunky soups, but it was still good. They also had a vegan chili option. Way to go Balsam! We really really love them so much and try to go as much as we can. It's important for us to support places that are so good to vegans. They don't even charge extra for the vegan cream cheese! Hurrah!
Oh, I forgot to mention the best part--Vegan Elephant Ears. No joke. These things are amazing. They're pure sugar, but they are so delicious. Adam finished his bagel, and forgot that he got the elephant ear. He looked kind of sad, and then he noticed the sweet treat, and his eyes lit up! Elephant Ears for the win!
