Cheers to 2009, but jeers to leaving home to return to snow. I packed a TON of plane food the night before (the LAST thing I want is to be stranded/delayed in an airport without food options).
With the other end piece of the Alfaro’s bread, the rest of the veggie cheddar shreds, mushrooms, and a fresh, organic tomato, I made a pretty gourmet sando.
Check it out!
It turned into a monster as I was making it, so it’s a good thing the bread is SUPER thick to hold all that stuff in. DAYAM!
Also included in the plane snack pack: dried cranberries, edamame, 2 apples, fresh medjool dates, and a spiced chai tea bag. I know, I know. It’s a bit much for one flight…but better to be safe than sorry!
I threw the soy noodles in a pot…
heated up the edamame…
and chopped up the tofu.
Not too shabby for a last minute, post-flight meal. It was so good that I made myself a second bowl, finishing off the rest of the ingreds…
I had a BIG time hankering for some sweets, though. Good thing I had some vegan choc pudding left over – saaweeeet 🙂
Yum Yum Yum. New Year’s celebration in my mouth!
This set off a chain of wild and uncontrollable CHOCOLATE urges. I pretty much devoured the rest of the choc sorbet (about 2/3 of the container).

My dad drove me to the airport at the crack of dawn, and I was at the gate by 6:30. Unfortunately, the fog was SO thick and dense that we couldn’t take off as planned (told ya delays were inevitable)…we were on stand by until the visibility improved to at least half a mile, which ended up being about an hour.
So I got a Starbucks to hold me over while I waited to board. Short coffee with vanilla SILK soy milk 🙂 This really helped warm me up AND wake me up.
On the flight I polished off my sando, one apple, lots of dates, and several bottles of water. After the flight I raced to get into Manhattan asap. Being around Times Square on New Year’s Eve was a scene I desperately wanted to avoid.

Okay. Now let me just say, I was prepared for bad weather, in fact I thought I was ready for the snow, but I was freakin’ STUPEFIED once I arrived at the LIRR platform. Snow was screaming through my coat, my hood wouldn’t even stay on when I tried to hold it because the wind was too strong, and tears were streaming from my eyes – basically it was a miracle I even got on the right train! I couldn’t feel my fingers so clearly I couldn’t buy a ticket at the kiosk. I am pretty sure I ended up paying 200% what the ticket actually cost on board the train. Whatever. So worth not getting frost bite. I managed to get home by 8 pm, just in time to make some din-din.
My fridge was on the barren side, but lookie what I managed to scrounge up.

Here’s bowl #1 (with a dash of low Na+ soy sauce).

I added soy milk on some sorbet filled mugs…DE-lish!
Empty container = sad
I stayed up til midnight (East Coast time) to ring in 2009 watching my (other) lover, Anderson Cooper, on CNN – then I called K and my parents before I headed to bed (with my pleasantly full tummy).
Work tomorrow – BOO!
feliz ano nuevo!
I think this is the first time I have been ranked above Anderson Cooper. Nice!
