vita cafe

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged , , on April 28, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Vita Cafe’s a bit farther than Paradox for me, but I prefer the setting. The high-back booths, while not cushy, isolate you a bit from other diners. If there’s a crying kid in there you’re gonna hear it, but you won’t find yourself avoiding eye contact with the people in the next booth. Because it’s [...]

bonfire

As an optimistically congratulatory (Tom had a good interview) treat, we went out to grab dinner last night—early enough to avoid Friday night crowds. We walked down 12th, by Hungry Tiger, Too, and checked out the menu, but Tom had his heart set on the hellfire burrito at Bonfire so we kept on walkin’. Even [...]

cookies!

Posted in general, tagged , , on April 24, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I friggin’ love cookies. I often make my own. Usually it’s just cookie dough for the sake of cookie dough, which I pare down to the basics of EB/peanut butter, sugar or agave, oats, ground flax seed, and chocolate chips. I call it “kukido,” since you couldn’t actually bake it. Anyway, sometimes I get the urge at the [...]

fit for an 8-year-old

Experiment failed. I’d never tried Tofutti mozzarella slices before. Again, I was never a big cheese girl, but pizza’s pizza, man. So while I was at the big ol’ regular grocery store, I picked some up to throw together a quick cornmeal-crust pizza.
I felt like I was back in summer day camp, pulling a couple [...]

tempeh. delicious, moldy tempeh

Posted in general, tagged on April 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I have mixed feelings about tempeh. On one hand, it’s so incredibly good for you (a 4-ounce portion has 22 grams of protein, more than half your dietary fiber for the day, and 20% of your iron) and it can be made to taste good. On the other, however, is the ewww factor. There’s no [...]

black bean soup/chili

Posted in recipes, tagged , , on April 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Tom started this as a soup but then called it chili cuz it’s crazy thick. Keep in mind when you look at the list of ingredients that Tom’s middle name is Capsaicin and he tends to sweep his arm across the spice rack and anything that falls goes into his food. If you don’t like it, don’t [...]

still ain’t eatin’ it

Posted in general, tagged , on April 21, 2008 | 3 Comments »

PETA just announced a million-dollar reward for whomever can successfully produce an in-vitro chicken-meat product. To get around that whole suffering animal thing, apparently the answer is for us to eat something created from stem cells and grown in “a medium.”
Seems odd, given the trend to oh, eat more organic, natural, and whole foods given [...]

spaghetti squash

Posted in recipes, tagged on April 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Like so many foods, spaghetti squash can be intimidating. The strands! How do you make the strands?! Well, they make themselves. I saw on a blog some time ago (don’t remember which and don’t remember when) just how easy this squash was to cook and gave it a whirl. Amazingly simple.
I’ve seen instructions to bake [...]

can i have some bread with my bread?

Posted in general, tagged , , on April 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Is it fall again? Or is unemployment depression kicking in? Yesterday I pretty much ate nothing but bread. Truth be told, if I could live on garlic bread and cookies, I probably would. Hey, I never promised you healthy.

I have no photos for breakfast, which was…toast. But here’s part one of a two-part snackening that took the place of [...]

insert bun joke here

Posted in general, tagged on April 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »

 
No more mystery rolls for me. I used this recipe from jessigurr on VegWeb, halving it so it would fit in my bread machine. Even so, I got seven rolls out of it. And they taste like real (but fresh) hamburger buns, not just some generic bread product. I’m going to try onion and poppy next [...]
