I’m not very fond of plane rides. But luckily this one (well, two– we had a short layover in London) was a nighttime flight, so I didn’t feel like a day was wasted. Mostly I passed the time on the flights by sleeping. But look what I picked up for lunch at Heathrow Airport:
This hummus, carrot, and mixed green sandwich (on whole-grain bread) made for a terrific portable meal. And I was impressed that it (along with many of the other foods for sale in the airport) had a little “V” on the box to denote its vegetarian-ness.
I know this was a short post, but I’m rushing off to organize some stuff in my new apartment. School is starting again TOO SOON! What happened to summer???
that’s really cool that there’s an olympic celebrity at your school!!
school is definitely here too soon! boo the end of summer :/
hope you have a wonderful night!
Speaking of the Olympics, Michael Phelps took some classes at Umich and was a volunteer swim coach. I saw him at few football games too (his ears amplified the sound in our section, haha). However, he doesn’t have the *best* rep at our school, so it wasn’t as impressive as it sounds. 🙁
That’s so cool that you go to school with someone so well known and admired throughout the world right now!
An airport is the last place I’d expect to find vegan-friendly food, so how awesome for you 🙂
That sounds delish. I read your older posts about the oatmeal and tried it for myself – fantastic! I never would have thought about it. I have it with my dinner every now and then. Great staple item =) Thanks for the tip girl
K-K-K-K-Katie! Welcome back! You were missed 🙂 Can’t wait to hear your feedback on the cruise (and how you fared with international flights, in light of the current state of air travel.)
That is very cool about your schoolmate Nastia; I bet SMU throws a parade for her! She was actually my favorite above Shawn Johnson — Shawn is cute and oh-so-talented, but Nastia is a beauty and just cool as ice. Can you BELIEVE her mom was MIA when she won the gold?! Over here on the East Coast, our celeb is Ryan Lochte — a hometown boy that partied with my brother all through high school!
That is really cool that you and Nastia Liukin go to the same school!
School really crept up on us, didn’t it?! That’s awesome that Nastia goes to your school, too. Good luck getting ready and catching up with everything. 🙂
That sandwich looks awesome. What a good find! For a minute I thought you were going to say that’s what they served you as the meal on your flight, which would be pretty nice. I’ve heard some really awful stories about what people get served on airlines when they’ve requested a vegan meal…
Welcome back. I am surprised you found a sandwich like that but that is great. I have not been to the UK in a while and I do even bother to check for food at these places.
Looking forward to your new post
Kimberly–
LOL no I can’t believe her mom didn’t watch! She certainly missed an amazing performance!
the fig waffles we are speaking of are one and the same… i checked the nature’s path box, and it says “formerly lifestream brand.” so that’s what i meant! and fig waffle + soy ice cream + raspberries = an awesome snack!
