pasta & teese (not together)

Posted in general, tagged , , on April 13, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Before I get into my Teese results, I’m gonna talk about my pasta. I eat this probably once a week. It’s evolved over the years, from a day when we had a bunch of bruschetta (referring to the tomato, garlic & basil topping, not the grilled bread the word actually describes), so we dumped that [...]

sheese!

Posted in general, tagged on April 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »

We stopped by Food Fight! Grocery today, for I’d read on their blog (look to your right) that their Teese supply had come in and I didn’t want to miss it. For all the talk I’ve heard/read about it, I expected lines, like Wii or Barbara Streisand ticket lines, but we just walked in, found a [...]

l.a. didn’t totally suck

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged on April 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I know I give L.A. a hard time. Can’t help help myself, what with it being so easy and fun. I just don’t think it counts as a city, but rather a really big suburb of the ghost of the city it used to be (maybe). And it’s not as progressive or veg-friendly as the rest of [...]

brown-rice sushi

Posted in general, tagged on April 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Last night was sushi night, but we were lazy so it was brown-rice sushi night. We heated up some microwave bags of brown rice (not that we have a microwave) and mixed it up just like white-rice sushi (see step-by-step recipe here). That means no soaking and simmering, shaving close to an hour off your [...]

There comes a time in any relationship between person and bag when the person has to evaluate the bag’s quality of life. This is where I recently found myself, my aging bag growing exponentially older by the day. It was a good bag, from Brooklyn Industries (represent), and we’d been together for probably four years or so.  [...]

eastside

Pizzicato Eastside. No delivery, but it’s right next to the Wild Oats/Whole Foods we needed to swing by anyway. We ordered it par-baked (as recommended by the folks at Pizzicato) because we’d be walking almost a mile before we could eat it, and especially trying out a new place, I wanted to give it the [...]

if you want something done right…

Posted in general, tagged , on April 6, 2008 | 1 Comment »

We got a bread machine! Tom’s mom didn’t use hers as much as she thought she would (and apparently, it was really loud), so we inherited it. So far we’ve made sun-dried tomato & oregano bread (pictured), french bread, and pizza dough (haven’t tried using this yet but it looks good). Today we’re going to [...]

quick fix: tacos

Posted in quick fix, tagged , , on April 6, 2008 | 2 Comments »

It’s a quick one if you’ve got a buddy to help you rinse, chop, and cook. Using a fakey meat here, Litelife Chick’n Style Strips, but cheaper yet equally easy is reconstituted TVP (texturized vegetable protein). Both TVP and Morningstar Farms Meal Starters, however, make a squishier “meat.” This cooks up just like the ground beef taco [...]

the conscientious alky

Posted in general, tagged , , on April 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I’m not much of a drinker, and when I do drink, it’s usally drinky drinks, like vodka & ginger ale, for which I am often made fun of. But they’re tasty and a pretty safe vegan bet, so screw ‘em. I’ve always hated beer and wine—and that’s where you gotta be careful. Even if there’s no egg [...]

i heart packages

Posted in general, tagged , , , on April 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Got a box today from VeganEssentials.com. I started ordering from them when I was in L.A. because, for such a wheatgrass-n-tofu town, there were many things I just couldn’t find in stores. With the move to Portland, these things might be around, but I’ll need some time to figure it all out. I did find Tofurky [...]
