Tonight (or more correctly - this afternoon) Mimos gathered at Lentil as Anything in Abbottsford. Lentil as Anything is a restaurant that serves organic, vegetarian meals in a homely and relaxing environment. The unique aspect of Lentil as Anything is that there are no prices on the menu. As their website quotes, "We embody a philosophy that challenges and defies our money driven consumerist society. Our philosophy of "no set prices" is a social experiment that encourages people to have an internal conversation with their conscience and their own ethics. You choose what you feel is an appropriate amount to pay for the food and service provided." So after you've finished the meal you put whatever you consider the meal and the experience to be worth in a box on the counter.
There were about 20 of us who gathered for an early dinner. We couldn't do a large group discussion but we chatted with the people around us and caught up with what each of us had been doing since we last gathered together.

I've heard of that restaurant. Speaking of vegetarian food, I'm not vegetarian, but last week I cooked my first tofu stir fry (for myself). I didn't get to inflict it on anyone.
I know someone called Stella who works there. I've never been there, but I want to go. I should do that some time. Glad you guys had a great time! See ya Friday.
So come on - how much did ya pay for the meal?
How much - well as Lentil as Anything says - that's between me and my conscience. :-]
sounds like an awesome idea...i may try it when i'm in melb in a weeks time!
