chicago 2009: fall edition

Posted in eatin' out/in, general, tagged on November 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Well, another surprise trip to Chicago means more food and photos. I forgot to take a photo before getting to the very dark club, so please forgive the flash. Yes, it’s what it looks like. I made these mini cupcakes for the benefit show put on for my cancer-boy friend, Jim. I ended up making [...]

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 [...]

pasta with pesto & soy curls

Posted in quick fix, recipes, tagged , , on August 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

This is from last week, when we had our mini heatwave. I didn’t want to cook at all, but I’d not really planned ahead with no-cook meals, so this is a little-cook one. And whaddaya know? It’s super good. I made the pesto first (takes all of two minutes), and in this nut-free household, pesto [...]

so much food!

Posted in eatin' out/in, tagged , , on April 6, 2009 | 8 Comments »

‘Twas an action-packed weekend, that’s for sure. We had friends in from out of town, but they weren’t arriving until almost 3:00 p.m. on Saturday…plenty of time to climb a mountain in the morning. So before driving out to Wahkeena Falls we fueled up at Paradox Cafe. (Remember, Paradox is 10% off with your NW Veg card!) This [...]

happy equinox

Having just come back from Chicago, where they’re still in recovery from winter, Tom had to photograph his way home from work yesterday. This is Portland in spring: How can this be the saddest/most depressed/whatever-that-poll-said-we-were city in the country? In a couple of weeks we’ve got a friend (with his new ladyfriend) coming in for a [...]

schlag

Posted in general, tagged , on February 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

“Schlag creme” is what the German Soyatoo is called. “Schlag,” according to the Babelfish translator, means “impact.” Do with that information as you see fit. By going on the German version of the website, I did learn that the Germans have way more products than we get. They get a rice whipped cream, cheeses (I think—one’s [...]

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 [...]

…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 [...]

mecha sad michele

This is Mecha Sad Bear (from Luke Chueh—check him out if you don’t know him), one of the presents Tom bought me even though I said I don’t deserve any presents because I’m a good-fer-nothin’, piece-o-crap, unemployed, 35-year-old hausfrau. He also got me a gigantic nutrition book. The plain truth is, though, I suck at [...]

beater-lickin’ good

Posted in general, tagged , on July 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

What did I have for lunch today? A leftover chickpea cutlet and way too much frosting. No, not together. I made a batch of fluffy buttercream frosting from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World and there were these beaters with frosting on them. And a spatula too. What was I going to do, wash the frosting off? I [...]
