Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
(✴, ❝ and ➜) Some Reflections, Scribbles & Notes in the Spine
Literacy by David Barton © 2007, Blackwell Publishing Barton knows the literacy events of an adult’s life are nothing like the structures educators set for students in elementary school. We don’t grill each other with comprehension and detail recall when we discuss the books we’ve read. We speak of our constructed meaning, how we apply [...]
The Path to Salvation: The Salvation Army
Denver, CO I am an avid thrifthunter. Apparently it was decided in the stars, as noted in Starsky and Cox’s Sextrology {Thee most spot-on description of the Libra woman I ever did read, including such accurate details as my shoe size}. I’ve traveled coast-to-coast collecting knick-knacks and thing-a-mybobs, often expeditioning solely for a thrift prospect. [...]
New Instruments
Yesterday the ferocious winds knocked out my internet service, rendering my hours after work and before bed rather useless. The e-errand list was long. I had to print an updated assignment timeline for this spring semester, type out class notes and print my reading skills log to update on the train; all the latest versions [...]
Vegan Comfort Food, Colorado-style
Little did I know that in the few days I’d spend in Colorado I’d return east stuffed and plump like a prized tofurkey! Sluggish and satiated, here is part II of my Colorado vegan dining highlights. VG Burgers is a vegan fast food joint in Boulder, CO that pulls out all the stops. With a satisfying [...]
Mile High in Colorado
Greetings from the Rockies! I’m here is beautiful Colorado visiting and old friend and her adorable family. Arriving solo, I spent the majority of my first day hitting the thrifts and of course, eating. In fact, stepping into my rental Prius from Denver’s airport, I immediately programmed my lunch destination in and hit the road. [...]
Internet: The Door is Always Open. Thoughts on Electronic People Emerging From the Woodwork
I graduated from high school about 12 years ago. Today I was contacted by a man who student-taught in my 11th grade art class. He attached a photograph of a piece of art I had completed under his instruction. I remember the piece well (a still life completed without lifting the pencil) and him only [...]

Sounds Like Brooklyn: Beirut
The Brooklyn Academy of Music‘s Howard Gilman Opera House is a wonderful place to see a show. Even more so, to see the instrumental bliss of New Mexico’s Beirut and their cacophony of accordion, trumpets, ukulele, and glockenspiels. And even more so, to see the amazing band supported by the Vassar College orchestra. The seated show in [...]
When Life Gives You Lemons Make Vegan Chocolate Glazed Mini-donuts Without Holes
I find it hard to sleep anywhere but my own bed. I’m the same way with the kitchen. In someone else’s kitchen I fumble, miscalculate, mistake their oven’s temperament. This was the case when attempting VCTOTW‘s basic chocolate cupcakes in the Wok Man kitchen. The Wok Man kitchen is so foreign to me. It is [...]
There Ain’t No Island Left For Islanders Like Me
I’ve always thought that there is something powerfully romantic about the sea. Aaaah, an expanse of salty tempestuousness! Being drawn to an elusive pioneering spirit too often lost within the confines of the nowadays, I admire those who give their life to the land, the water, the Earth; those who feel her shift and buckle [...]
