It Ain't Meat, Babe :

Boom. Roasted.

Way back in September, while waiting in line with our friend Hallie at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, my friend Joe reminded me of this bit from The Office in which Michael misses the point of a comedic roast. I believe the example Joe[...]

Wordless Wednesday: TLT (Tempeh Lettuce and Tomato)

53 1
I made this sandwich on Sunday at around 10 AM. We'd been out for breakfast (and newspaper reading) and as per usual I'd eaten potatoes, toast, fruit and tea. Not a horrible breakfast but one completely without protein. As a result I was really damn[...]

Your Daily Ration of Oatmeal Bars

Anyone who knows me or reads this blog regularly knows that I travel a lot for work. I'm a daycare inspector, which means that I'm working in a different place every day, and spending a good portion of my work hours driving around town in my little[...]

My friends, I am so excited. For this week, I conquered pastry crust! Up until now my crusts have always been kind of bland and chewy. But just last week I made a quiche (carmelized onion quiche from Vegan Brunch) for breakfast with friends and I[...]

Marzipancakes!!!

I was very happy to just settle in for a quiet, solitary morning today (it's a holiday in Ontario) because I spent Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday visiting my friend Kat and her family, who are lovely, but certainly not sedate! I really enjoyed[...]

Wordless Wednesday: Auntie Loo's Cake Truffles

53 1
The Man of Science surprised me with a box of the special Valentine's cake truffles from Auntie Loo's vegan bakery on Saturday, right after I'd grumbled at him about not putting his laundry in the appropriate basket. Well played, MoS, well played. In[...]

Super Romantic Valentine's Minestrone

53 1
Okay, minestrone is not really particularly romantic. To tell you the truth, I kind of forgot about Valentine's Day this year. Well, as much as one can forget about it when every blog, TV show, magazine, and newspaper is mentioning it in some[...]
