50% Completed

Today marks the end of my 6th week at Nossaman, the halfway point of my 12 weeks here. The last 6 weeks have pretty much flown by, and the next 6 are going to go even faster (heck, we only work 3 days next week due to the 4th of July vacation). I definitely don't feel like I've gotten too much done, but that's a different story.

Today's Field Trip Lunch: Melissa, one of the associates and a sometime vegetarian, took us to a vegan restaurant near the Beverly Center. Though we were all somewhat skeptical, it was actually better than I expected. We all shared a vegan nacho plate (with cashew cheddar cheese and tofu sour cream), and I had a vegan burrito with fake bacon bits. Adam 2 ordered a vegan reuban (with vegan meat and vegan thousand island dressing), which he said was "disgusting." My food was pretty darn good, and the "bacon" tasted exactly like the real thing. The cheese on the nachos was a little funky at first, but by the end of the meal they tasted more like real nacho cheese. Before we left, we all got vegan chocolate chip cookies, which also turned out to be almost as good as the real thing. As weird as some of the food was, I think I might actually go back sometime.
