summer thunderstorms, i love ‘em

Posted in general, tagged on June 29, 2008 | 5 Comments »

There’s nothing like a summer thunderstorm. I missed them while we were in L.A. The smell of rain, the breeze that pushes all that hot air away, the negative ions making you wonder why you’re suddenly so happy. The flickering and rumbling in the sky is pretty cool too. Yup, it was a hot one [...]

tortillas make anything a meal

Posted in general, tagged on June 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Last night was a “I really need to do some shopping…but not right now” night, but I think it turned out okay. I sliced some tempeh super thin and threw it on a griddle with my hodgepodge taco seasoning, “taco town.” A little bit of cucumber, onion, and lettuce later, I had this big taco [...]

more bliss

Posted in general, tagged , on June 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I’ve mentioned Coconut Bliss a couple of times since my introduction to it at Vegfest. We looked at the Naked Coconut and Espresso flavors. Well, I figure I should probably explore all the flavors if I’m to maintain any sort of journalistic integrity. (So hard-hitting, I know.) Today I bring you Dark Chocolate and Mint Galactica. I don’t [...]

the tt sushi special

Posted in general, tagged , on June 26, 2008 | 1 Comment »

My theory is that Tom tastes about half of what he eats. I think his allergies have killed most of his ability to smell and taste food. This explains his tendency to pile on condiments and come up with some pretty unique flavor combinations. He’ll put mustard, Asian hot sauce, and barbecue sauce on a [...]

call the green police

I did it. I bought these fakey chicken nuggets on a whim, not even caring they were made in Taiwan. I was so caught up in the excitement of the Asian grocery wonderland that is Fubonn that I bought some things I maybe didn’t need to. These Vegefarm “chicken” nuggets are nothing special. They’re fine, [...]

my wish list

Posted in general, on your person on June 24, 2008 | 4 Comments »

I don’t want to come off as a whiner, but I have a vegan wish list. Of course I can’t expect the world to cater to my special needs, but such is the way with wish lists. •I want a decent vegan hot dog. I’ve tried a bunch and can’t get beyond the first bite. [...]

happy solstice

Posted in quick fix, tagged on June 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

In honor of the first day of summer, I give you the perfect summer lunch: an avocado with a little lime juice, cilantro, sea salt, and pepper. Grab a spoon and you’re set. It doesn’t get much easier than this. Containing lutein (for healthy eyes), good-for-you fats, dietary fiber, protein, and a nice little collection of [...]

vegans win again!

Posted in general on June 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

This is what I use as the subject in e-mails I send to my family about news stories that ultimately point to, well, vegans winning again. Things like vegetarians averaging higher in intelligence and vegans being less susceptible to arthritis, certain cancers, heart disease (and on and on and on). Today’s is an old story, BSE (mad [...]

yay, polenta

Posted in general, tagged on June 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »

You know those foods you eat a bunch of for a while then forget about? This is one of those. It wasn’t until I saw the polenta fries at Hungry Tiger, Too that I remembered my polenta dish. And how much I love it. Nothing special, really, this is just polenta with a bunch of herbs [...]
