I turned in 3 history essays on Monday, and I have a linguistics research paper due next Wednesday. And I also have some exams coming up! Ahhhh! But I don't want to bore you with all the work that I have. (I'm afraid that I might have already done that!)
During this period of intense busyness, I've saved myself from going insane by remembering to step out of the library every once in a while and do something else. Writing this blog right now is a good example. But I don't have time to write a bunch, so I'll put up a bunch of pictures instead. (Actually... isn't that what I usually do anyways? Haha!)
The theme? Eating at mock meat restaurants around Melbourne! You might think, what's the point of mock meat? I don't know myself. As a vegetarian (well, actually a pescatarian), I used to think of mock meat as things like veggie burgers and veggie sausages, which I feel scare a lot of people away from vegetarianism. But the mock meat at these Buddhist vegetarian restaurants is much better. And really fascinating!
Last Friday (1st of June), some friends I met through the Environment Department decided to have dinner at The White Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant

We ordered a variety of "meat" dishes, and they were all delicious!
 |
| The mock duck was very convincing! |
That was my yummy introduction to mock meat restaurants in Melbourne! And then this Thursday, the tai-chi club went to dinner after class at Enlightened Cuisine, another mock meat restaurant.

| We made it to the restaurant! |

| Soups and appetizers! (Except the appetizers were mostly eaten by the time I took this photo!) |
 |
| The first main dish came out: sizzling "beef"! |
 |
| Yay food! |
 |
| Closer view of all the dishes. Remember, there's not actual meat! |
 |
| Fried ice cream for dessert! Probably not something I should have often! |
Okay, back to work for me...
