Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Thanks.
I’d like to cook a proper Thanksgiving feast, but it’s not that simple unfortunately. It’d have to be a reheated prepared meal. And thankfully, that ain’t bad at all. With a Whole Foods near, it’s convenient enough. I ordered their Vegan Field Roast with an extra side of Brussels and popped it in the oven before [...]
In Two Words: Thanks. Giving.
Maple. Buttercream. Sloppy. Piping. Cinnamon. Snow. Wheatmeat. Croute. “Who’ll. Win?” Left. Over. Weekend. Morning. Super. Pretzels.
From Pumpkin to Cake
Two little pumpkins have sat on my desk at work since I thought “Pumpkins! Already?!” Now Halloween is long gone and Thanksgiving is upon us. I brought those cute little pumpkins home today to help me bake up some seasonal cupcakes for my grade’s Thanksgiving Feast, the first of the cupcake marathons the holiday will [...]
Thanks. Again.
It’s funny how much we can pack into a year. And how, stuffed and sluggish with our heavy days, routine trivialities can pull us away from that which we most value. The fundamentals… Beyond our myopia. A sharp left from the winker. Through the man-made distractions. And other such comparative prepositional phrases. Gratitude is an [...]
Giving Thanks, Part III:
I am thankful to survive, and thrive, through the love and support of friends. Thanksgiving plans changed drastically at the last minute due to reasons a trained psychologist will need to help me understand. Luckily, I was able to find a place to feast. Here are the highlights: CP‘s almond pignoli cookies. With a hefty [...]
Giving Thanks, Part I
I am thankful for friends who value food. Holidays, like Johnny Dangerously, are just another excuse to gather the gang and to eat… and eat well. The hiatus-ed FoodSparrow and her dapper gent hosted a wonderful vegan Thanksgiving potluck over the weekend in their gorgeous Park Slope apartment and we all managed to knock each [...]
The calm before the storm…
I haven’t been in the kitchen much at all these days. But that will change very, very soon. The holiday marathon of cooking, pot lucks, food shares and Christmas cookies begins this weekend. And for the first time ever, I will be responsible for the entire Thanksgiving meal at my parent’s house. This is a colossal [...]
Thanksgiving Pumpkin Baked Ziti with Caramelized Onion and Sage Bread Crumb Topping
Sometime around May this year I’ve noticed that time had entered some hyper drive speed, much to the horizontal stripes slicing the universe Millennium Falcon-style. I’ve been saying, “Before you know it, it will be Thanksgiving, then Christmas and then 2009!” Bidding farewell to the kids at early dismissal yesterday it hit me: what in [...]
ThanksLiving in Woodstock, NY
This past Sunday was Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary‘s Annual Thanksliving Feast! It was a wonderful few hours filled with amazing eats, good peeps, numb toes and some extraordinary guests of honor: the turkeys. Besides those feathered friends, there was much to see at the farm.Hi there! this goat seemed to beam.The goat who mistook a finger [...]
Buy Nuttin Day
This past Wednesday during my lunch break I had errands to run. Pancake, my canine life partner, was in dire need of a shampoo and, in order to avoid weeks of a clogged tub and no response from the landlord, I set out to buy an assortment of drain stopper thingies and dog shampoo. I [...]
