Eco-positive weekly diary #132: eating at vegan all-in restaurant Rozey’s

Posted on August 27, 2020January 24, 2023

Hi there, welcome back into my personal weekly diary in which I try to show what an eco-positive lifestyle looks like on a daily basis. What choices and habits make my life eco-positive and which struggles are there at the moment? The past week I scored some great secondhand items, saved a lot of food and went to a vegan all-in restaurant! Here’s eco-positive weekly diary #132.

Thursday

My boyfriend and I went thrift shopping, this time in Harderwijk. We scored again good time! A beautiful rug and some small essentials. When our apartment is finished, I’ll share it entirely on this blog. We ate some vegan burgers for dinner, I had the Jumbo burger from their own brand and it was quite good! 

Friday

It was time to get out in nature again. And when my boyfriend and I did, I realized it had been too long. It just makes me feel so much better when I surround myself with nature every once in a while. We biked a long way. We came by a dairy farm and got some ice-cream. I also had ice-cream, since they also offered vegan options. Next time I think I wouldn’t buy there, because I still support the company, even though my food was vegan. After the biking we went to a friend who has a pool. I would never get a pool myself since that’s not sustainable at all, but I do like to come by that friend to use his. After some lovely vegan risotto for dinner, we went back to our home in Groningen. Along the way we picked up a secondhand bench we had bought on a platform for secondhand items (Marktplaats). It’s stunning!

Saturday

Once every three weeks there is a local farmers market in Groningen. It is very small in scale because of COVID-19, but we went anyway. There was one stand with vegetables. Not organic, but still local and seasonal and so a good option. We bought some good veggies for a pasta that night and a pumpkin soup the next day. After the shopping I went to pick up a secondhand yoga mat which my boyfriend also had bought on Marktplaats (it was free!). It really shows that buying new stuff isn’t necessary at all. Once back home we realized we bought too little tomatoes at the market and forgot some salad. We bought that at the supermarket. With the pasta I tried the vegan parmesan from Lidl for the first time and I totally approve it, delicious! 

Sunday

A while back we found free secondhand chairs on Marktplaats. Today my boyfriend’s mother picked it up for us and brought it by since she was already coming our way and the location of the chairs was closer to her than to us. They are beautiful! And free! My boyfriend’s mother also helped up hang up our secondhand coat rack. Our place is really coming together! We went for some coffee in the city center, but since I don’t drink coffee I had a lovely vegan donut instead. When she went home, me and my boyfriend went to a sort of culture house in Groningen. It’s where the library is located too. It is gigantic! I came to heaven, so many books! I got a membership for the entire year. 

Monday

Since it is the last week that my boyfriend owns his car, I made a reservation in Rotterdam for a special restaurant. It’s called Rozey. It is an all-in vegan restaurant. It was amazing! So many great dishes (the vegan coquilles were my favorite!) and such friendly service. I hope to go there again one day. I want them to take all my money hahaha.

Tuesday

Time for another secondhand pick-up. We bought a cabinet via Facebook Marketplace. We went to pick it up and also went to IKEA for some inspiration. I would never shop furniture at IKEA since they’re involved in slave labor in China. I did however buy one of their plant-based hotdogs and a vegan smoothie at the check-out. That’s all fresh and vegan and so no slave labor involved there (but maybe I also shouldn’t buy anything there either). At night I went to a birthday party from one of my best friends in Nijverdal. She had bought many vegan snacks (and cake!) which was great, no need for meat! That’s a great step to take when you’re the host. If you offer vegan food, guests can’t complain since you’re the host and you’re already welcoming them. I gave her two small gifts from a sustainable gift store. It was both food and so I didn’t need to buy new stuff. She liked it fortunately! I packed the gifts with some packing-paper I got once myself but saved.

Wednesday

Quite a lazy morning, I spend it editing my vlog for my Youtube-channel. Afterwards, my boyfriend and I went to his grandma and grandma and afterwards to his other grandma to cook dinner for her. It was a long but good day.

Favorite song of the week: Akon – Don’t Matter

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Ik ga dit jaar weer de challenge aan om de winter door te komen zonder de warming aan te zetten. Hiervoor ging mijn essential, een warmwaterkruik 💦, kapot. In deze reel laat ik je zien hoe ik een ‘nieuwe’ tweedehands kruik kocht. Vandaag te lezen op whenateengoesgreen.com: een inspirerende documentary over Greta Thunberg: I am Greta. Een documentaire over hoop, maar vooral over doorzettingsvermogen 🔥. Lees het nu via de link in mijn bio. Meer vegan producten in de schappen, yay! Gisteren probeerde ik voor het eerst de vegan lentil tikki masala saus van Patak’s 🧑🏼‍🍳. Zie in deze reel wat ik ervan vond. Vandaag verscheen er een nieuw artikel op mijn blog over: 5 dingen die ik niet koop. Want we denken vaak dat we dingen écht nodig hebben, maar vaak is dat niet zo 🧠. Check het artikel via de link in miijn bio. Vorige week verscheen er een artikel op mijn blog over alles wat ik nieuw kocht in 2022. Dat is een groot deel van mijn negatieve impact. Deze week was het tijd om te kijken naar de andere kant van de medaille. Vandaag lees je op mijn blog een artikel over al mijn positive impact in 2022 🌞. Je vind de link naar het artikel in de link in mijn bio. Afgelopen week verscheen er op mijn blog een artikel over alles wat ik nieuw heb gekocht in 2022. Eén ding op de lijst waren deze onderbroeken (een stuk of 20). En nu denk je misschien: waarom zou je in één keer zoveel onderbroeken kopen? Op 31 december, nog net op de valreep in 2022, kwam er een video online op mijn Youtube-kanaal over voedselcoöperaties. Ik denk namelijk dat voedselcoöperaties ons voedselsysteem democratischer en eerlijker kunnen maken 🥦. Elk jaar stel ik mezelf als doel om geen nieuwe spullen te kopen. Er is weer een jaar voorbij, dus het was tijd om te evalueren. Is het me gelukt om in 2022 geen nieuwe spullen te kopen? 🛒 Je leest het vandaag op m’n blog. Ook tijdens het gourmetten kan je heel makkelijk vegan eten 🌱. Zie hier wat ik at als vegan op de tweede kerstdag 🎄. Gourmetten is een topoplossing als je niet uren in de keuken wilt staan. Lekkere snacks kopen, even snijden en alles neerzetten en bakken maar!
