Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Week’s End
Curdling almond milk. Cooling vanilla cupcakes. Cara cara, exposed. The princess, her sneer–real and plush–and the momma. Patty Day cupcakes Aerial on the cat table.
Ninth Avenue: Vegan Heaven
For four months my vegan gal pals have been scheduling and rescheduling a trip to Cocoa V. Finally: we came, saw and left with bloated bellies. But first… Blossom De Jour, high-end Blossom’s “shrewd” fast food sister, has recently taken space next to NYC vegan landmark, Cocoa V. So naturally, before laying down a layer [...]
What’s New: Food Update
There is a little Indian convenience store next to my Sunday restaurant favorite, Dosa Diner, in Hicksville, Long Island. In this store you can find a ton of cheaply priced pantry staples, many aligned with Hindu vegetarianism. It is worth a stopping by– their products are tremendously cheaper than the very same items sold at [...]
} Cupcake Intermission {
In between the hullabaloo of the start of a new school year, here is a sweet bite of marble cupcake to match my marble notebook.
Here’s the Scoop
Listen Staples commericals and every Sunday newspaper circular: “It is still summer!” I cry out, grasping at every hour, every minute of my dwindling summer vacation. So while it is still appropriate, homemade ice cream! I headed home to Long Island to try out Wheeler‘s Vegan Scoop chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with my Mom’s [...]
Vegan Days to Vegan Nights
It’s about time I got myself to Stogo, New York City’s all-vegan gourmet ice cream shop. To escape the debilitating heat and humidity, CandyPenny and I ducked into the East Village storefront’s huge people-watching windows to cool down with their soy, hemp and coconut-based frozen treats. Stogo has some wonderful rotating flavors like Bananas Foster, [...]
Mountain Time
Welcome to state #4 of the wandering Ford Focus mission: Colorado! After a long ride on the empty, desolate interstate north of Santa Fe, the highway expanded to three times its former width and a slew of drivers crowded the road to one of the country’s most rapidly growing boomcities… Denver, Colorado. Home to the [...]
World Cup…cakes
I kind of caught World Cup fever. It was hard not to with television, newspapers, chalkboard signs at bars and men at the bagel store hyping the rivalries and sensationalizing the sensation. Heck, even the supermarket was prepared with soccer cupcake liners! They were the last piece of a cupcake plan that had taken shape [...]

Hello, February.
2010 is moving pretty fast. With January tucked under its belt and vibrant floral dresses already in the shop windows, soon it’ll be time for Spring. Spring which seems an impossibility to my numb toes. Spring, the short stop before Summer which finds Fall too soon. And then ’11. But for now… Winter. And in [...]
Play It By… Tongue
Trader Joes’ Joe-Joe’s cookies are perfect for balancing the tastebuds after a meal. A quick 2-bite dessert of non-hydrogenated, sweet vanilla bean speckled yum. But as a singleton who delves not into sugar excessiveness, a box can last for ages. My clear-the-cupboard countdown was closely coming to an end (alliteration points: 5), and still the [...]
