Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Memorial Days
This past weekend was the Electrician‘s Memorial Day barbecue. Although a meat-heavy grill event (I was the only vegetarian besides a veg-curious 11-year-old girl), care was taken that I’d need not settle for a less than full plate of scrumptious bbq fare. But of course! The vegan-only grill saw as much action as the one with [...]
Starching It Up
I have an unquenchable appetite for starches. Here are some recent good ones: 3 Brothers‘ Pizza Bianco, whose prices recently shot up way high Onion rings from Jb’s Burger: nothing special, probably frozen, really freakin’ goodAmazing Vegan Tamales off Papacitosbrunch menuA huge pile of rice noodles at Em Thai Kitchen. I heart Thai Thursdays.
Spoiled Sweet
I am going to try to milk the graduation thing much longer than today. Yeah, why the heck not? I’ll have it preemptively excuse my raucous behavior come Friday, when the official celebratory drinks are set, and use it to collect long complimentary comment strands on Facebook. I’ll accumulate kid-hugs from my class who are [...]
Graduating Gobo
Much to my delight, Gobo has a 3-course First Seating Prix Fixe during the week. I thought this was a quiet and tasty way to have the official celebratory dinner honoring my graduation from graduate school. But as a food blogger who decides to cook and bake based on the quality and quantity of natural [...]
Oh, Papacito
When it comes to American Mexican food, the West coast puts the East coast to shame. Before Greenpoint, Brooklyn’s Papacitos stepped up to serve authentic and fresh Mexican with a street-food flare, if I wanted a veg-friendly burrito I had to settle for a million and one substitutions (No this, no that and no the other [...]
Camera Upgrade
Doubling my megapixel count, I am now the proud owner of a new digital SLR camera. I spent a whole morning getting to know its buttons and dials around the grounds of The Electrician‘s, who so generously bestowed it to me, in sly fashion, in honor of my graduation. Besides the 100+ pictures of warranty [...]
These are a few of my favorite things: Pancakes
What can I say? I am all about a morning batch of pancakes. As long as I can remember I have had it bad for flapjacks. From when my mom used to mix up the boxed kind when I was a peon, to my taking over duties for the household years later, to my early [...]

Food Love {Never Eat Your Heart Out} {Half Kidding}
See this food? I have eaten it and it has helped me to move from here to there to have me here typing this to you. See it? I put it in my mouth and chewed. Yeah, so what but: Have you ever paid attention to this process? Followed a bite from one side of [...]
Happy Mothers Day
I am the Budgie Baby a parakeet in the kitchen You’re my eyebrows my need wipe down the table since the sponge is already wet He met you at a church dance I met you after 3 before barely making a peep I know the world of why in the creases ’round your eye I [...]
Brooklyn Bread Face {Ode to MP}
Ms. CandyPenny recently tried her hand at making bagels from scratch, de la Vegan Brunch. In an effort to channel her spirit back to New York, I thought I’d give it a go myself. Rise, rise, rise… is one of those words that starts to look misspelled when you type it several times. Everything: Hawaiian [...]
