Sweet potato now costs the same as normal potato, rather than being $1 extra. The mixed grain tabouli again looked tempting, but I remember from last time that I didn't like the mint in it. Instead I went for the wild rice with almonds and raisins, and it was surprisingly tasty. The dahl added a nice salty touch to counter the sweetness of the other ingredients I added. Having both pumpkin and sweet potato was probably sweetness overkill, but I didn't know what else to put in my custom-made...

Only yesterday afternoon did I realise we actually had two Schnitz vouchers to use before the end of the month. This time I went for the Si Senor (minus Ranch sauce) on turkish bread roll.

I forgot to take a photo of the inside of the wrap, which looked a lot more appetising than the photo I...

A2 and I took a trip to Grill'd to use an Entertainment Book voucher before it expired. A2 ordered a Garden Goodness veggie burger ($11.50), whilst I decided to go for one of the three new burgers on the menu: Hot Hombre ($12.50). It's a chicken burger with spicy black bean salsa, cheese, avocado, tomato, Spanish onion and a tortilla chip. After flashing my student ID I also managed to score a free drink (available on Mondays and Tuesdays). The veggie pattie was very...
