rushing to judgment

Posted in eatin' out/in, on your person, tagged , on August 30, 2008 | 4 Comments »

After one day, I’m pretty sure I hate these shoes. It was either find a pair of brown shoes really fast or recycle my black pants again and again and again this week. So I found these Mudd shoes. I don’t know that the adhesive is vegan, but the uppers are all man-made material. I [...]

super happy funtime weekend

Posted in general, tagged , on August 24, 2008 | 3 Comments »

I’m so blissed right now because I’m starting back to work like a real, live person (I know, there’s something wrong with me—it’s the Chicago work ethic), and I used this positive energy to get a ton of crap done this weekend. Lots of running around, checking off boxes, making lists then crossing the stuff [...]

This is SO not how I introduce myself. I don’t often wear my Herbivore sweatshirt (though I love it and it is super comfy and made by American Apparel) and I never wear message buttons or patches. I don’t have vegan or AR stickers on my car. I don’t do these things because (as those [...]

…and release

Posted in general, tagged , on August 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

This week has gone by so fast it makes me question the very nature of time. Saturday was Tom’s birthday, but I woke up with my body trying to best the temperature outside. After almost passing out (you know, when everything gets kinda white and you hear that buzzy, mwaah-mwaah-mwaah sound) while getting breakfast for the [...]

shoe shoppin’

Posted in on your person, tagged on August 15, 2008 | 7 Comments »

Tom just scored some new shoes, direct from the vegan link on the Vans site. I don’t know if you can tell, but the light bits are actually gray. He’s super happy with them after having some unsatisfactory experiences with Macbeth and IPATH (probably not the shoes’ fault—he’s got uneven feet). Skate shoes aren’t easy to begin with, let alone [...]

tofu scramble

Posted in recipes, tagged on August 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »

The most reliable, most versitile staple? Then why has it taken so long for me to write about it? I have to assume that somehow my tofu scramble is wrong. It’s probably too dry and overdone for most people. But I like it and Tom likes it, and that’s all we have to worry about [...]

care package

My mom’s guttyworks have been all messed up for a while now—the doctors don’t know what to call it (or how to fix it) and when it first started, rather than keep puking she pretty much stopped eating. After doing a bunch of our own research, it really seems that the more complex the protein and [...]

ah, the harvest

Posted in general, tagged , on August 9, 2008 | 4 Comments »

That’s right, kids. I harvested my first tomato from my indoor garden. The better news is that there are 19 more just a few weeks behind it. This is the first food item I’ve ever grown myself so I’m quite the proud little farmer right now, even if it is but a 1-inch Tiny Tim tomato. [...]

the $5 vegan bucket

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged on August 6, 2008 | 5 Comments »

(cellphone camera shot from the driver seat) I swear I’m in the middle of, like, three posts, but I had to throw this up here. This morning, Tom needed to bring doughnuts to work, and apparently to answer the question “How do you even make a vegan doughnut?” he decided to bring in vegan doughnuts. [...]

finally

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged on August 3, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I’ve been here (Portland) for five months now. All that time our bikes have been held prisoner (by us) in our building’s bike storage room. We don’t have fenders on them, which means unless it’s super summery we run the chance of being covered in street water, and I need to rip the basket of the front [...]
