Eating Out, Tofu, and My Garden

Its complain and whine time for me. I'll just index them for you.

1. Eating Out
I live in Indiana and I can tell you that its really hard to get anything diverse to eat when eating out. Everything is made with some sort of flesh. Its so annoying when the only thing vegetarian is made with cheese. Oh yum, just give me a plate of cheese for christ sake and skip with the pleasantries! What about something unique and good? Chili's has a black bean burger, but thats about it. Perkins has a cheese quesadilla, but not much else. And just forget about fast food! I'm not picky, but I'm tired of my only option with any flare being Subway. Don't get me wrong, I love veggie subs, but all the time? It gets old! Come on people, I'm not asking you to cater to me, how about just a couple items that aren't meat based? Is that to much to ask?

2. Tofu
Tofu is gross. Its not the flavor, because it doesn't have much of its own. Its the texture of it. It feels gross in my mouth. Unlike veggies and premade veggie treats like Morning Star's veggie Italian Sausage, its hard to imagine what ever flavor your imitating when its so squishing and mushy in your mouth. Last night I made Fancy Fillets with extra firm tofu. You know, it wasn't terrible. The breading flavor was great, as was the vegan tartar sauce, and the hot sauce rocked it out for me. But I couldn't eat more than the one on my plate. It just didn't fell right in my mouth. I will try it in something else I'm sure. But tofu as a main dish? It just ain't happening again!

3. My Garden
What is there to complain about my garden? Nothing. As in there is nothing, I don't have a garden. I don't have a yard big enough and its cold any way so I'm screwed. I really want an indoor greenhouse garden so that I can have fresh veggies all year around! Imagine fresh peppers and mushrooms all year around! Fresh spinach, squash, onions, lettuce, and tomatoes, any time I want them. OMG I'm drooling right now! We are buying a house this year, and at the very least, I'm going to get one with a yard big enough for a garden. A big garden. A big garden all for me!
