CupcakeCamp NYC was a total blast!

Here, CandyPenny and I represent the vegans well in our separate table. She offers cupcake fiends chocolate peanut butter babies [...]

Goodbye W., Part III: I’m off to Inauguration
I requested off from work on January 20, 2009 the evening of November 4, 2008. Somewhere between then and a few hours ago I was resolved to celebrate inauguration activities here in New York City. I would wake up early to nab a seat for the screening at the Langston Hughes Auditorium at the Schomburg [...]
I really think so
CandyPenny is off to Japan for some roaming and vegan reporting! In light of this exciting adventure, friends and I bid farewell with a Asian-themed party. I was excited to have a go at a Thai-inspired dessert for the occasion: sweet sticky rice! In fact, since my time in Thailand I had imagined turning the [...]

The Art/FoodSparrow and her Tim X were the hosts of a delicious holiday vegan potluck. I had been looking forward to the event for months and spent most of the day starving myself for the feast.

OVER THE LINE!! D.I.Y. Lebowski Fest
On the same eve the official New York Lebowski Fest was starting off, a group of motley misfits celebrated D.I.Y. style in Long Island City’s unsuspecting Maric Lanes. Far cheaper than the official fest’s bowling party in Times Square, sponsored, fittingly, by Kahlua, Maric gave us 5+ hours of bowling for the discounted rate of [...]

Vegan Mofo #26: This is Halloween
Like many strange and unusuals, Halloween is my favorite time of year. As I made 2 batches of these Halloween cupcakes, I, in accordance with ancient folklore and pagan ritual, listened to the Halloween soundtrack at full volume and prank called my boyfriend. The cupcakes would be for my students, who’ve been discussing Halloween since [...]
2008 Thanksliving at Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary
November is around the corner: layered sweater weather, scarves and thermals, dirty jeans and dirty under-the-fingernails, ruddy cheeks. I want to dig up root vegetables with my hands and bite the earth, rapacious, like Scarlett never going hungry again. Before the holly and mistletoe: November. On the ethical harvest celebrations’ tip, is ThanksLiving at the [...]
Baseball Cute

This dominant trait, passed to her from her own mother, an avid baseball fan, was also passed to my [...]
