I finally did it! Finally got to try these:
Coconut Kale Enchiladas from Bliss Raw Cafe.
Menu description:

and cashew sour creme wrapped in coconut tortillas
It’s the coconut tortillas that really got me. Somehow, they were soft and crispy at the same time. And their sweetness made a perfect foil for the acerbic kale.
This was actually my first time ever trying enchiladas– raw or cooked, vegan or non. Somehow, even though I’ve lived in Texas for years, I’d never had them before. If other enchiladas are as good as these, I’ve been missing out! But then again, other enchiladas don’t have coconut and kale… so they couldn’t possibly be as good as these!
Other things I’ve ordered at Bliss:
Loved loved loved this! The basil pesto was especially yumlicious.
Not so big on this one. But really, you can’t expect to love every item on a restaurant’s menu.
On this trip, I brought along the Bamboo Utensil Set I received as a Christmas present. My friend asked, “Aren’t you ever worried people will think you’re weird for bringing your own utensils to a restaurant?”
Well, first of all: No, I don’t care. If people want to think I’m weird, that’s their loss. My grandma always said, “If they’re laughing at me, at least they’re laughing!”
Second of all: It was a raw restaurant, for goodness sake! The guy serving us had about ten tattoos on his arms, and a lady across from me had hot-pink hair. Not exactly the kinds of people who judge you for going against mainstream society.
Megan Fox brings her own utensils to restaurants, too:
=================================
Fox has an intense fear of germs. She’s extremely wary of restaurant silverware. ”Putting my mouth where a million other mouths have been, just knowing all the bacteria that you carry in your mouth? Uccch,” she says, with a shudder. Public restrooms are to avoided whenever possible, especially when the toilets don’t have lid: ”I’m never doing that again. Every time someone uses a bathroom and they flush, all the bacteria is shot into the air.”

Hehe I’m in good company :).
YUM!!!! i want to go to that cafe and order that!!! I wish it was closer to me….I don’t think one meal justifies driving 1,000 miles….
I vote for the nutbutter recipe!!
Oh but of course it’s worth driving the 1,000 miles. Then again, I’m biased; I want to meet you ;).
Haha! I want to meet you, too, Katie!!! Maybe someday….
OH MY GOD! Those enchilladas look so good! amazing 🙂
good for you that you don’t care, and your grandma was a wise lady ;). might I ask why you brought them? or no special reason?
I love tattoos, and I love looking at people covered in tattoos. it’s like reading a book (or looking at some form of art, if you’re into art).
I almost always eat with chopsticks. I learned to use them before learning to use a fork, so it feels more natural to me. I bring chopsticks everywhere! 🙂
As for tattoos… lol I would never get one because I am such a baby when it comes to needles! I cried for an hour after getting my ears pierced. (Granted, I was only 5!)
oops pressed enter too fast 😉
I’m looking at getting my third tattoo this year, so excited!
what do you think of tattoos?
x sabine
ooh, do you know what your third tattoo will be? i’ve kinda wanted one for a little while now, but i don’t know what it would be of. also, i might be too scared, haha.
i think tattoos can be really cool though!
I would loooveee a nut butter recipe!! Mainly because nut butters are my love.
Oh wow, do you mind having just one more table guest the next time you go? She goes by the name “Meg” and would love to try those enchiladas as well 😉
Oh don’t tease about such things unless you’re prepared to make them a reality! If you ever get your butt down here, I will buy you lunch. Promise :).
On the topic of self utensil supplying, I sincerely hope you have see “As Good As It Gets” with Jack Nicholson. If he can pull it off being an OCD Meany, you can defiantly do it without question.
I haven’t seen it! *Hides in shame* I need to remedy this!
those.look. AMAZING!
Oh my gosh, that looks incredible! I want to find a way to duplicate that at home!
If you do, you’d better share!! 😉
Nut butter recipe!!!!!!! I’ve a bit to use up! 😉 x
