soycurl tacos

Posted in general, tagged , , on April 3, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Believe it or not, this is a first for me. Sure, I’ve had soycurl tacos at Taqueria Los Gorditos, but I’ve never made them myself. When we first started making vegan tacos we used TVP, then moved on to LiteLife fakey chicken strips, and now we’ve been using tempeh (recipe here) for quite some time—and loving [...]

road trip: san francisco, part 2

Posted in eatin' out/in, general, tagged , , , , , on March 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Like many whirlwind affairs, it began with coffee. A simple house coffee served in a shapely glass mug. Maybe it was the lighting, but I was a goner from the start. Herbivore was to be mine, at least for the weekend. Herbivore popped up every which way I was searching for vegan food in San [...]

junk food (sort of)

Posted in general, recipes, tagged on February 24, 2010 | 5 Comments »

I so wanted to serve this on a paper plate, but that’s just not in my nature—I don’t know that I’ve ever purchased paper plates. I was going for the fried chicken take-out thing, but this ended up being not nearly as low-rent as I’d hoped (although I guarantee you it was cheaper than take-out). [...]

soy curls to the rescue

Posted in general, tagged , on October 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

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 [...]

close call for cluckphrey

I give you a subpar photo of the sandwich that almost wasn’t (and my refrigerator with a bunch of stickers and some other crap taped to it). Whatever could have stood between me and my fakey chicken sandwich? Only myself—and my failure to clean the toast crumbs from the floor of my toaster oven. My [...]

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 [...]

tastes like chicken…i think

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

I realized the other day that I don’t really remember what chicken tastes or even smells like. Sometimes I’ll be eating a chick-alike and be blown away by how like chicken it tastes. Or using chick-alike bullion in broth, I’ll think it smells like chicken. Then I walk down the hall in my apartment building [...]

quick fix: “chicken” pasta

Posted in quick fix, recipes, tagged , on January 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »

…and she comes out of hiding. After having two weeks off work, the return just about killed me. I had to do my best to manipulate time itself to somehow make up for having been off two weeks. I felt like I was on Count Rugen’s life-sucking machine in The Pit of Despair and that a-hole [...]

american cookin’

Posted in general, tagged , , , on July 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »

So there’s no red, white, and blue jello mold. No hot dogs on the grill or potato salad. But after cooking today, I did look at it and think, “That’s so American…sort of.” Dinner doesn’t get much more square than this. That is clearly a meat, starch, and a veg. The meat is my first [...]

call the green police

Posted in general, tagged on June 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I did it. I bought these fakey chicken nuggets on a whim, not even caring they were made in Taiwan. I was so caught up in the excitement of the Asian grocery wonderland that is Fubonn that I bought some things I maybe didn’t need to. These Vegefarm “chicken” nuggets are nothing special. They’re fine, [...]
