Even though I had unofficially decided to not eat the same dish on consecutive days, they have apparently opened a Papa John's Pizza on campus. I took that as a sign that the Subway Vegetarian sub would have to wait until a more desperate day. As a firm believer that a plain cheese pizza is only the blank slate on which toppings should be served, I opted for the Papa John's Garden Veggie Personal Pan Pizza which also appeals to my love of alliteration.
Unfortunately for the second in as many days, I was unable to stomach the entire meal. The thing with a normal meat pizza is your next bite might possibly contain a delectable morsel of Canadian bacon or a sliver of pepperoni. With a vegetable topped pizza, this is not even in the realm of possibility. Pizza is, at least for the time being, no longer on my list for the month.
At a good friend's suggestion, I went with an Asian tofu dish for dinner. I returned to a familiar Thai restaurant, Royal Thai, a place where on a previous occasion after a training run, a group of runners and I were quickly ushered outside to dine at the patio lest we ruin the dining experience of the more appropriately dressed patrons.
Complaints aside, Royal Thai is an excellent Thai restaurant. Pictured above is the Pad See Ew Tofu and Thai Tea I ordered. While I don't particularly dislike the taste of tofu, the tofu did not do anything for me on this particular occasion. I think this meal might have been better off with just a plain, meatless Pad See Ew. It was still delicious, of course, but that is in large part due to how yummy Thai food is already. Chicken, of course, would have made it a little bit better, but it was only missed for a brief, passing moment.
Your greatest mistake here was the cranberry juice. Blech.
