Happy 3rd Blog Birthday To Me!
May 24 marks my 3rd year as a blogger! Yippee! It is so amazing to look back through my archives and see so many transformations, to see my thoughts and writing keeping up with the beat of my steps in this world. To celebrate this, and a good friend’s birthday in the coming week, I [...]
Nice Wings You Got There: The Quest For Vegan Angel Food Cake
Plain and simple: There is no successful recipe for Vegan Angel Food Cake posted on the internet. It may not even exist at all. I, like many others, have thoroughly turned over every stone with no luck. In fact, Hannah, of My Sweet Vegan fame, blogged about her attempts at mastering this fluffy white foam [...]
Italians Try To Do It Better
There are so many not-so-great vegan recipes online. Even though credible sources are well-established, they, too, once began as experiments. But this particular experiment yielded a relatively bland risotto, unfortunately. Even though Italian cooking, despite my Sicilian majority, is not my forte, I feel like this font and wallpaper has left me unsatisfied before. Like [...]
The Seven Deadly Sins
1.) Lust Lust (Latin, Cupidita), or lechery, is usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. Dante’s criterion was excessive love of others, which therefore rendered love and devotion to God as secondary. Mega-D.I.L.F. Panda Bear, Terminal 5, NYC (photo: Joseph “Whoa Whoa Whoa” Roth c/o Eat My Shots.) 2.) Gluttony Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning [...]
this wilderness up in my head
Animal Collective hosted an enormous party for 3,000 of their disciples at Terminal 5 last night. The show- from the third floor balcony, next to the 7 foot speakers and above the undulating sea of fans- was awesome. Not so much as in “radical dude!” but as in I was in awe the entire 2 hours they played. [...]
Pink Eye Banana Crisp
With some time and bananas to kill, I cracked my Joy of Vegan Baking in the hopes of curing my sweet craving without having to change my over-sized sweatpants. My selection: a warm, banana crisp. Sure, I am a sucker for any kind of banana dessert but this quick and easy recipe’s result was fabulous. [...]

Let Them (And Me, Mom and Dog) Eat Cake
I used to work a few blocks away from S’nice, Manhattan’s awesome veg sandwich shop, and have frequented it many times. Yet through all the work lunches and meet-ups, I have stayed monogamous to their Vegan Panini. It is just perfect: a warm, toasted, roof-of-the-mouth-scraping flatbread smeared with green pesto and stuffed with generous rectangles [...]
W-A-S-H-I-N-G-T-O-N Baby, D-C
Fellow veghead CandyPenny and I headed south to our nation’s capitol to sample some area eats. First stop after a smooth ride, Great Sage in Clarksville, Maryland. Although I initially hoped to try the Seitan Wellington off their dinner menu, I had to compromise with checking out their lunch… there is only so much you can eat [...]

Vegan Meats Made From Beef: LightLife and ConAgra
This posting has been brewing for years. (Alternate name: Smart Patty My Ass.) You probably know of LightLife‘s packaged veggie meats, maybe picked some up at some point given their widespread availability. They’re everywhere! Of course they’re everywhere. They get delivered with the Chef Boyardee, the Eggos, Orville Redenbacher’s, the Slim-Jims and the Redi-Whips. Lightlife, [...]
