Fighting the heat with vegan food

You know how everyone says you should eat light when temperatures are high?
Well, vegans follow that rule almost always :)

Yesterday was another strange day, when my boss asked me to make a delivery... at 2 pm! I spent about 1,5 hours hopping in a heated car, hopping out, hopping back in, city-driving, and always parking as the AC barely started working... and with the outside temperature of 37°C!

Needless to say, I did not care for lunch at all, I just had some raw fresh grapes and plenty of water, so when I returned home, I turned on the AC to the full, shut the blinds down and went horizontal on the couch for a few hours.

Then, when sanity returned to my mind and hunger to my belly, I went into the fridge and extracted some tomato sauce, that can be anything really - a pasta sauce, a dip or... in this case... I made it a soup of some kind and ate it luke-warm.


With the hunger barely at bay, I decided to finish off some tortillas I had waiting in the fridge, and made me a tortilla / taco / something. I tried first time ever a vegan frankfurter, that resembles the real deal quite a lot.


So I sliced a frankfurter, put on the grill briefly, just to heat it up and assembled a tortilla wrap with plenty of various veggies - lettuce, bell pepper, red cabbage and cucumbers. The filling was so abundant there was no way I'd ever roll this, so I just left it like a taco and ate it with fork & knife.


My oh my. I'd like to order, please!

I also had some leftover coffee from my afternoon shot and well, can't waiste coffee, can we? I made tiramisu. And I can't believe I haven't posted on the blog about it yet.
