Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Actually, I Am Never Eating Again. Period.
With the Wolf Moon, I ate ravenously this weekend. If it wasn’t the moon then it was the cold. And if it wasn’t the cold it was my hungry heart looking for satiety. Here’s the the start of the ever-afflicting relationship 15. The Electrician fed me well, whipping up the braised seitan with Brussels sprouts, [...]
2010 So Far: Gluttony
There’s something about 1/1 that motivates change. Yes, I subscribe to that New Years philosophy of renewal and growth, mostly because I appreciate the year as a unit of measurement, appreciate a set span of time to classify with a numerical code, appreciate some kind of end-point. I remain awed by 2009, what I managed [...]
Christmas, Part II
I’ve said many times that when an omni puts in the effort to accomodate for a vegan’s diet it is considered a high compliment. I was flattered greatly by my Christmas, part II: brunch at my brother’s, home to two of the most darling little gals, my nieces. My sis-in-law went all out, locating brunch [...]
Br♥♥klyn Vegetarian, Part 2: Prospect Heights/Prospect Lefferts Garden
On a blustery December morning, the first of its kind, 3 intrepid souls wandered into the depths of Brooklyn by hoof for Part 2 of a thorough borough scour of veggie delights. Congregating at the gorgeous Brooklyn museum of Art, we headed down Washington avenue to Natural Blend, a Ital hotspot renowed for its cheap [...]
VeganMoFo #1: Okay. I’m In!
About 3 seconds ago I decided I couldn’t sit out on VeganMofo this year like I had originally planned. Fearing the commitment and being a bit pressed for time, I thought “meh”. But now that my Google Reader is filled with VeganMofo entries, I am inspired and ready to wrap the mofo round my ring [...]
These Are A Few of My Favorite Things: Day-long Bike Rides
Happiness is a day on da bike. After a hearty breakfast of my bona fide best vegan pancakes in the world, my bike bud and I hopped from Kings to Queens, a grossly under-represented borough in my New York City repertoire. Bike bud, having acquired expansive knowledge of bike hot-spots, showed me a sunnier side [...]
Back In the Seattle Again
From author Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher, on the floor of P.C.C. Natural Market in Fremont. River House CreperieWest SeattleRive House is a darling little creperie right off the West Seattle Bridge that offers a vegan gluten-free batter as a base for all their sweet and savory crepes. I opted for a simple strawberry and banana [...]
Vegan Red Lobster Cheese & Garlic Biscuits
Had I not wanted to allow for internet searchers to easily find these vegan Red Lobster cheese and garlic biscuits, I would have called these my “Holy Sh*t Motherscratcher Ever-Lovin’ Biscuits”… or some such name that adequately expresses my great excitement about them. Many, like me, have fond memories of chomping on Red Lobster‘s complimentary [...]
A Tofu Omelet Grows in Brooklyn
Before you even see these gorgeous little beasts, let me say a word about this fine piece of rock in my palm: black salt or, in its native Hindi, kala namak. No, black salt isn’t street code for heroin. It’s a special smokey salt. In Vegan Brunch Isa gives this specialty salt time to shine, [...]
Tempeh Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes
Excitedly, I have been knocking back some of Isa’s Vegan Brunch recipes! And I’ve only just begun… I got plans to fill the remainder of my summer break I/independence weekend with her hearty concoctions. But for now: Chesapeake Bay crab cakes… vegan style with tempeh and some kelp for fishy kick. I ran out of [...]
Operation: Use the Bananas
Yes, we have tons of bananas! And this morning was devoted to putting them to use before the pesky fruit flies started making love to them. And what better an opportunity to get to know Isa’s Vegan Bunch cookbook? So these fermenting ripe ovaries of the Musaceae will be mashed into banana-walnut flapjacks (page 80) [...]
