Amidst the busyness I have still had time for cooking (and these photographs are snapped awfully quickly with only available light from a window or a certain adjustable fluorescent lamp, let me tell you!) because I have put all of my other hobbies on hold until my senior show is up (sewing, reading, drawing, jewelry-making, the list goes on, oy...sometimes even laundry!). I still have to eat, however, and I just really don't believe in having premade, overly processed food at every meal. And so I continue to cook. Easy things, mostly. After my show is up, I have a ton of recipes I have been waiting to try.
One delicious brunch, captured via Corey's camera phone.
Whole World is the oldest vegetarian restaurant in Columbus and features a great menu with lots of variety and the option of vegan substitutes for egg and cheese, or the real thing if you prefer. My friend Liz introduced us to it last year, but this was our first time to try their brunch. I think it's safe to say we'll be back! This is Corey's plate, a sampler called the "Big Breakfast." He had veggie sausage, toast, tiny melon wedges, an egg, and a potato and vegetable hash. I had the hash plus a biscuit and gravy (and it came with two tiny melon slices as well). So good! I love the vegetarian food options in this city.
