  It took a visitor from Europe to point out how insanely close I live to Canada. Less than a six-hour drive gets me to Vancouver, the city you may have heard of if you’ve seen any of those Best Places to Live or Most Beautiful, Wonderful, Whateverful Cities on the Planet lists. And everything you’ve heard [...]

portland’s vegan iron chef 2010

Posted in general, tagged , , on June 25, 2010 | 5 Comments »

I apologize ahead of time for the lengthy post—as well as the fact that it’s taken nearly three weeks to get it out. Originally meant to be a quick recap with a few photos, this ended up much, much more. Maybe it’ll inspire you to put on your own event…and maybe it’ll scare you away [...]

give it away for free and they will come

Posted in general, tagged on June 16, 2010 | 1 Comment »

  Can one man/woman make a difference? Of course, but it helps if you’ve got some dedicated friends. The photo above is from this Daily Tidings story—it’s my friend Yoko serving up some totally free vegan vittles to high school kids in Ashland, Oregon. And the orange catering truck is Taran’s. Why have an orange catering [...]

homegrown smoker…and a german spaniard comes to portland

Posted in eatin' out/in, general, tagged , , on June 11, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Where have I been? Well, preparing for Vegan Iron Chef, attending Vegan Iron Chef, then recovering from Vegan Iron Chef. But I’m back in action, baby. Not with a Vegan Iron Chef recap—I want to wait until the video is available and I can get some decent photos ready for you—but this post does feature [...]

updated update: vegan iron chef–now with updates

Posted in eatin' out/in, general, tagged on May 25, 2010 | 1 Comment »

  Pretty bad-ass, right? Those are but two of the three competing chefs for our just-around-the-corner Vegan Iron Chef. The third chef should have been photographed this weekend, so I imagine we’ll see the poster in the next day or so—I’ll put it up as soon as I get it (from our very, very busy [...]

garlic spears!

Posted in general, tagged , , on May 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Haven’t tried garlic spears yet? Ha! I thought I was the last one, but I guess it’s you, you big loser. I saw them at the store and without knowing anything about them I had to have them. “Garlic” was all I needed. When I got home I checked online, and apparently, everyone blogged about them [...]

thanks, juiceman

  Watermelon juice. So pretty…and surprisingly good for you. Watermelon is a delicious summertime source of potassium and Vitamins A, B6, and C. Also, most of the fiber makes its way through the juicer—I was left with but a handful of pulp. I don’t know what you could use it for; unlike apple pulp it [...]

nostalgia in disc form: the frozen pizza

Posted in general, quick fix, tagged , on May 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

  Is it the best pizza I’ve ever had? Of course not. Is it a beautifully marketed key to my childhood memories? You betcha. Tofurky/Turtle Island isn’t necessarily a crew of geniuses—they just figured out how to do it first. It’s so obvious! I mean, I thought of making my own pizzas then freezing them, [...]

hi mom!

Posted in general on May 9, 2010 | 2 Comments »

  That’s me in my mom’s belly! So that’s my mom pregnant, on vacation, on a ladder, pickin’ some California sun-kissed citrus (and those are my dad’s sideburns). I do believe she tried riding some roller coasters on that vacation but The Man kept her down. I’ve mentioned my mom here a lot: veganizing her [...]

worldwide vegan bake sale, portland edition

Posted in general on May 7, 2010 | 1 Comment »

Portland actually hosted two bake sales during Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale week, one supporting SPECIEES and one supporting Try Vegan PDX and Vegan Iron Chef. Between the two, more than $1300 was raised. Not too shabby, Portland. For the SPECIEES one I just dropped off some cookies, but I stuck it out for the afternoon and [...]
