so angry

Posted in general on June 30, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I’m writing this mostly for myself, as a reminder of how mad my cat was at me for eating peanut butter-filled pretzels without offering her any. I tried to get a photo of her being mad but when I picked up the camera she was distracted and almost looked cute again. But believe you me, she was [...]

pizza party!

Posted in general, tagged , on June 30, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Oh yeah, it’s still a good idea. The other night we went over to our friends’ house for a pizza party. They had a bunch of crusts ready to go and we all brought the toppings—way more than we could possibly use in one night. Amid kitties and an enormous yet perfectly behaved pup—and vodka [...]

big easy bread

Posted in general on June 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

 So I saw this story about bread and figured I like bread so why not read it. Then bonus, a recipe for big, easy bread. Slacker bread, she calls it, with very few ingredients and no kneading. Having steadily used and abused my bread machine since inheriting it from Tom’s mom, kneading hasn’t really been an issue [...]

ground control to major flavor

Posted in recipes, tagged , on June 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Rocket pops! I don’t think I’ll do so many different flavors at once again—the blending and clean-up between batches wouldn’t normally be worth it—but this was a special maiden voyage experiment. And they were all awesome. From left to right they are: • Black raspberry juice and frozen red raspberries • Orange juice, agave nectar, [...]

Not the prettiest truck and not the prettiest location, here in the SE industrial neighborhood, at 8th and Ankeny, you’ll find this all-vegan Mexican wonderland. Follow Your Heart cheese, Tofutti sour cream, Soy Curls, and Soyrizo, plus tofu come together to create authentic taqueria favorites. And at these prices, you don’t have to feel guilty [...]

it’s still tomorrow, right?

Posted in general, recipes, tagged on June 16, 2009 | 3 Comments »

I promised you pictures of food, so here you go. A friend just moved into my building—and by random chance out of 120 units—next door. I could knock on this here wall and annoy the bejeesus out of him. To celebrate his arrival and for extra energy while we were hauling up all his crap, I [...]

stop helping!

I promise you food porn tomorrow. Today I rant…again. I’ve often heard (and repeated) that every vegan is an ambassador. This is true for anyone who sticks out from the crowd. Everybody’s got to have the “I knew a … once and…” story, so whether it’s a Scientologist, a guy who got Botox’d, an Atkinsian, [...]

pub grub at mash tun

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged , , , , on June 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

“Mash tun” is apparently a brewery term. I’m too lazy to look it up. I hate beer, always have, so I have even less interest in that which brews this stinky drink. In spite of my dislike of beer, I found myself at Mash Tun (on Alberta) for the grub of pubs. Tom and I [...]

meh

A show about a vegan family? Whah? Well, I’ve got to see this. I’ve never been a fan of King of the Hill, but Nancy Walls (Carell now, I guess), Linda Cardellini, and Brian Doyle-Murray? I had to give it a shot. I’m always curious to see how vegans are represented in the media. People do tend [...]
