In regards to last Monday

Good morning- of which there are 13 short minutes left. It has recently come to my attention that I have not blogged since last October... and if my mathematical skills are any good at all, that would be ten months ago. I've toyed with the idea of starting a new blog... either here on Blogger, or over on Wordpress, but I thought that would be pointless and figured to continue using this one. What ever theme I'd put to this proposed new blog, knowing me, I would not stick to and still end up blogging about whatever, whenever.

So, what have I been up to? I am currently 2 weeks into the last semester of my Fine Art degree. The words excited and nervous would both be correct in describing how I feel about this. I've been working on a series of paintings based off of a thesis I wrote back in March.. the same thesis I'm in the process of re-writing at the moment. For this reason I will hold off posting it on here. Also, I left my USB stick in my studio, so I can't post any images of what I've been working on. I will, however post images of what I cooked last Monday (I bet you've been wondering what the hell the title was referring to, huh?), August first, aka Swiss National Day... I thought I'd show some patriotism in the form of making somewhat traditional Swiss meals. I say somewhat, because well.. Everything over there is generally about meat (particularly veal, it seems), butter and cheese......... three very taboo foods for me. So I made an effort to veganise Röschti, Züri Gschnätzlets and of course Fondue. Here's what happened.

Tastes like happy...

This is going to be a short update. I just wanted to post photos of the most amazing thing I have ever tasted. I don't remember exactly what it was called, but it's available at Loving Hut (a vegan chain-restaurant...cafe...). I went there with Sascha on Monday afternoon, we were both very hungry. The restaurant (or rather, cafe) was very nice. It wasn't busy, but I think that's because we didn't 'hit it' at peak time, which is always nice. Very clean and presentable (which is the way it should be, when food is concerned). We ordered our meals and shared a little, it was nice, but I only took photos of dessert because I forgot I actually had my camera with me until I saw what this looked like....

Isn't it brilliant?
I'm rather sure this is the first milk-shake type beverage I've had in at least three years. The novelty of non-dairy whipped cream never wears out (then again I think I've only ever tasted it once before...). I know I will be going back for more of this.

Here's a photo of Sascha and the Cheesecake she ordered. I know, the formatting of this post is a little odd. Oh well.
I highly recommend Loving Hut to anyone and everyone, whether you are or aren't vegan, it's amazing...and they're everywhere.


So, in other news, I start school again in...27 days, but I'll post another blog about this later. Enjoy.
