These Mean Streets | What This Vegan Eats

I’m not deprived, but man, without planning, it can feel limiting…

I found this fruit cart on the way to um, Subway.  See, I was walking there with a co-worker, enjoying a little uncensored convo, lending a kind ear.  I didn’t get anything from the sandwich assembly line, but I couldn’t wait to stop off to get a bag of slices on the way back to the office.  All I could see was melons, mangoes, coconut, cucumber and jicama dancing all the way to my belly.  There were only two serving sizes, ziploc $4 and $5 bags.  I had five on it, stuffed with everything.

Lessons learned: L♥VE the watermelon, honeydew and cucumber.  Oh, NO… on the jicama, cantaloupe and coconut.  The jicama just took up flavorless space; the coconut was sadly bland; and the cantaloupe was a little too fragrant in that old lady with too much perfume on kind of way.  Next time, I think I might have to ask for a taste of the mango, so I can go all in or pass it up.  I think it really depends on the day.  That day was nooooot great.

All in all, it was crazy refreshing on a hot LA day.
