JeremyForrest Emerald Cafe Yumm's three Eugene locations serve a variety of meatless items. Yumm mixes flavor, variety The local cafe boasts a vegetarian menu and an attached coffee shop Natasha Chilingerian Advice Columnist With the growing number of vegans and vegetarians in our earthy home of Eugene, there ought to be more places like Cafe Yumm. This little nook, tucked inside the burgundy- and butternut-colored Meridi an indoor mall on 18th Avenue and Willamette Street, has delicious items sure to please all health nuts. Dishes made to order, goodies from the adjoining coffee shop and take-home treats all burst at the seams with character and flavor. Cafe Yumm serves its delicacies from a counter that is already overflowing with as sorted bonbons to buy and nibble on, such as truffles, ginger drops and sesame nuggets. The menu has many vegetarian options and is based on the cafe’s original dish, a rice and bean bowl. Three sizes of the bowl and varia tions of the recipe are available, along with soups, salads and sandwiches ranging from plain turkey to garden pesto. The hearty, colossal tofu wrap comes filled with red and black beans, avocado, diced tomato, olives and melted cheddar; it’s sure to satisfy large appetites. A tasty dish to order is the Yumm ‘N Greens plate—a bed of salad greens cov ered with fluffy brown and jasmine rice, the cafe’s signature creamy garlic-almond sauce, beans, slightly spicy salsa and a circle of tor tilla chips. The only flaw in these two dishes is there are too many beans. Along with the cuisine, the cafe sells a wide array of other items. Cafe Yumm of fers its own signature vegan sauce in origi nal, spicy and smoky versions; they also have a line of beans. The adjoining coffee shop, also run by Cafe Yumm, offers classic espresso, organic teas, monstrous pastries and a steamed milk-mango-granola con coction. There is also great service at both food and coffee counters. The employees are laid-back, friendly and seem excited to be working at such a unique, tasty and health-conscious restaurant. There are two other Cafe Yumm loca- * tions in Eugene — at the Oakway Center and at the Fifth Street Public Market. Ad dresses and hours can be accessed via the restaurant’s Web site, www.cafeyumm.com/. Cafe Yumm is a great choice for veg ans, vegetarians or people who just want great food.

Please take ad vantage of what the University Health Center has to offer. The Health Center offers contraceptives free of charge, plus it’s confidential. A wise choice to stay baby- and STD-free is to start taking birth control pills and to use a condom every time you have sex. As far as technique goes, I’m not about to print anything graphic in a public newspaper (and I don’t want to horrify my mom or my grandma, who love reading my column), so you can look at Cosmopolitan for that. If you truly feel strong love and attraction for this boy, you should be able to act on your feelings and let the sex flow naturally. Don’t expect any explosive orgasms the first time around, and don’t fret if afterwards you suddenly see sex as overrated. Sex is an acquired taste that gets bet (iStajjfj, <£?
