halloween

Posted in general, tagged on October 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

That’s me, my brother, and our tiny friends Tommy and Jenny at Sonny Acres in West Chicago, Illinois…probably 1984. You can’t see the kick-ass gold and white satin Jordache jacket I’m wearing. If you were alive then and knew someone as cool as me you’d know there was a horse head on the back with [...]

snap crackle kakow

Look, Mom, just like normal kids! I just whipped me up a batch of Rice Krispies treats using Dandies vegan marshmallows. At first, I’d resigned myself to a tiny, relatively expensive treat, seeing as my $5+ bag o’ Dandies was about half the size of nonvegan marshmallows, but then I noticed the weight on the package. [...]

cakes of the cup variety

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged , , on October 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

A funny thing happened while I was running errands: I accidentally went to the cupcake shop. Saint Cupcake isn’t strictly a vegan cupcake shop, but they do have vegan versions of at least chocolate, vanilla, and an additional rotating flavor available every day. Not having been there before, I walked in and asked for “one of each [...]

it’s new to me: kugel (finally)

Posted in general, tagged on October 27, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I may have set myself up for failure, but I made it through one forkful and just couldn’t go on. No surprise here. When I saw the recipe on Diet, Desert and Dogs, I knew it was a longshot, but one worth shooting. If it was a hit, awesome—anything that comes with guaranteed leftovers scores some [...]

bliss bars!

I pinky-promise I will try a piece of the kugel tomorrow and tell you all about it—Tom’s had some and he says I can do it. It’s just really scary-looking. I’ve never eaten a casserole of any sort, and that sure looks like a casserole to me. But you know what I did eat today? [...]

just a quickie link: tofu’s footprint

I’ve got the kugel in the fridge and I have yet to try it, but I’m having a crazy weekend…promise to give it a try tonight and I’ll let y’all know how it turned out. But for now, here’s a look at the environmental impact of tofu, from Slate. No consideration of animal rights here; [...]

soy curls to the rescue

Last night I tried out a new recipe, which I’ll tell you about later today (have to give it a second chance). It was for kugel, and it was a fantastic failure, probably an even split between my botched execution and inability to eat squishy things. But when it’s getting late and your tummy is [...]

it’s new to me: calzone

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged , on October 22, 2009 | 4 Comments »

It’s like caged pizza, cute in a sad way. Or sad in a cute way. This sorta falls into the pot pie category; it’s vegetables cooked in bread. Okay, so it’s made out of pizza dough and it’s got air holes and there’s no gravy. Yet I’ve never in all my pizza-eating days tried one [...]

garlic cheescuits

Posted in general, recipes, tagged , on October 20, 2009 | 5 Comments »

A while back, the Teese website had mentioned someone used their cheddar to veganize Red Lobster’s garlic and cheese biscuits. And I said “Someday.” Happy someday, everybody. I used my usual biscuit recipe  and added one-third cup of Daiya cheddar shreds (a friend and I recently split a 5-pound bag at Food Fight!), a fistful [...]

just a quicky link: meatless monday drama

Posted in general on October 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Will have a real MoFo post later tonight, but for now… Just saw this Huffington Post story about a CNN report on meatless Mondays. The Baltimore city school district started the program for cost and health reasons. Lou Dobbs apparently sees it as “a real political storm in the making.” (No parents have come out against the [...]
