A New Saturday Lunch Discovery.

Another great invention.

The Bobster and I dared a Saturday morning excursion into a hectic Oberwart which had a helping hand from copious amounts of rain and of course the imminent start of the new school year. Town was as busy as the shopping center, which is nice to see. Oberwart is thriving and new buildings are shooting up everywhere.

To be honest, the only reason we started off our shop in town was a long overdue visit to Fielmann. Yes, the two of us have entered the magic arena of funky glasses riding on the tip of our noses. Yes, the reading-glasses age. Fielmann is rather brilliant as we each had an eye exam ( both of us did rather well with hardly a change ), chose groovy glasses and had a professional consultation all for the price of 17,50 euros per pair of glasses!!! Any attempt at upgrading our choice of glasses was blocked;

" Don't worry, we love the 17,50 ones because we don't stress if we sit on them accidentally. "

Once the visual attachments were sorted, we headed off for groceries. Now that we eat plant based, it takes a bit more effort to source the various bits but not impossible. In fact, shopping is much more fun now and it is doubly nice that Bob enjoys our new culinary life style along with discovering eligible foods in supermarkets.

There was a special on tortilla bases and Bob enticed me to get them with his description of the finished product. Homemade Falafel, mayo, shredded lettuce, avocado, sliced onions topped with a divine tahin sauce. I was sold after he got to the mayo and as soon as we got home, we made it for lunch. It didn't take us more than five minutes to prepare everything and it was a delicious and mouth watering lunch. Absolutely fabulous and much better than any bought meal.
