Thomas and Camilla October 2020 Date Day
First: House of Mexica for lunch. I absolutely love this place!! They are an all vegan restaurant and have a huge menu.
I had 3 Hibiscus tacos with a side of asada fries that we both shared. Washed down with Jaimaca. Everything was perfection!!! Who knew dried hibiscus flowers mimicked shredded meat when sautéed? 😋😋😋
Thomas had the bacon lord burger, washed down with Horchata.
Second stop: A walk around Bartley Ranch

Thomas and Camilla August 2020 Date Day …
First stop, picked up an order of Roasted Veggie Tacos from Great Full Gardens for me.
Next stop, Icecycle Creamery for a #4 sandwich and a scoop of nutmeg and scoop of key lime pie ice cream for Thomas.
Then to Audrey Harris park for a car picnic to eat our goodies. We normally would have taken a walk, but air quality from the fires is too poor.
Last stop: A movie at TLC Theater! Thomas just finished reading, ‘Heart of Darkness’ so he wanted to watch ‘Apocalypse Now’ since it was based on the book.

Thomas and Camilla April 2020 Date Day
First “stop”: Lunch from Teriyaki Madness. Spicy chicken bowl for Thomas. Spicy tofu bowl for me. Eaten at The TLC Casa. 💚💚💚
Tip for vegans: Ask them to cook your dish in a wok, otherwise it is fried in the same oil as the meat dishes. They were happy to make it work so I didn’t have to order lunch from two different places.
Second stop: Washoe Lake

Thomas and Camilla February 2020 Date Day (a little late!) –
First stop: Late lunch of Korean food at Tofu House. For me: Hot Stone Pot Rice Bowl, made with shiitake mushroom, carrot, zucchini, and fried tofu. This dish was deeply satisfying! Thomas had the Seafood Soft Tofu Soup, along with Korean wings. Customer service is outstanding. Very helpful in explaining dishes and making sure I got a vegan dish.
Second stop: A walk in one of our favorite places.
Third “stop”: Playing Deltarune with Thomas.

Thomas and Camilla January 2020 Date Day
First stop: We walked to Ike’s Sandwiches. I’ve been wanting to try this place as they have an abundance of vegan options. I mean, vegan Dutch crunch bread!! This is a photo of my sandwich, I think it was called a MacDaddy or something like that. Enjoyed with a side of fries. I was only able to eat half of it. Pretty good.
The almost all white photo is what we walked back and forth in. We had planned on going for a trail walk when finished with lunch, but, we were kind of wet (and cold) when we got back.
So … Change of plans, Thomas wanted me to play Deltarune. I did much better this time around.
Ended with a game of Monopoly. Love date days!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Thomas and Camilla December 2019 Date Day
A lovely walk to Burger Me where Thomas had a Train Wreck burger with onion rings and I had a veggie burger. Then, more walking.
I’ve been preoccupied with getting the Meeting the Authors website back up, so our date day was cut short. Hours on the phone and much frustration. It will happen eventually. Everything is backed up. Just need to get it back on the site. Thanks to those who have contributed towards the recovery fund!
