I love how seemingly random events give you an idea. DJ Karma made some melba toasts, the ninja randomly bought some bagel chips, I brought bagels to work and had about a half dozen left over that I brought home. Now, I could spend the next week eating toasted bagels with Earth Balance and TofuttiContinue reading “Bagel Chips and Spinach & Artichoke Dip”

The super cool bonus part of this whole blogging thing is meeting new like minded people even if only in cyber space. Keeping up with all this interwebbing takes some dedication, although it’s like sourdough starter and can be resuscitated after some neglect. More on sourdough later. So when my usual blogger pals like non-shampooingContinue reading “2 new peeps, sourdough, Twilight, and digital technology.”

So we had an awesome meatout lunch in the Cafeteria. Yup, 14 people had a meatless lunch today. Although some of them didn’t realize until after it came that the shrimp and duck weren’t really made from shrimp or duck! We ordered take out Dim Sum from Buddah Bodai in Chinatown and the very niceContinue reading “The Great American Meatout!”

Friday, March 20th is not just the first day of Spring, it’s the Meatout! I’ve taken up the little one’s challenge and tomorrow my co-workers and I will be ordering Vegetarian Dim Sum for lunch and chillin’ in the company cafeteria. I’ll report back tomorrow. See if you can convince one person to go meatContinue reading “25th Annual Meatout Tomorrow 3/20/09”

Oh, why couldn’t i have broken theContinue reading “Eggplant Bacon!”

My favorite setian recipe is Joanna’s from yellow rose recipes.  I just made the old chicken style cutlets, but when I went to link to the recipe I’ve discovered she’s got a new recipe and site as well. I kind of multi-tasked here and boiled the potatoes and steamed the Brussels sprouts in the sameContinue reading “Matzo crusted seitan”

Kombucha. Yeah, I had to look it up… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombucha. Kombucha is a culture that is made into a tea or elixir and seems to pretty much cure anything from the common cold to underarm odor. I try to buy the weird stuff at my local grocery store so they continue to stock off-beat stuff. SoContinue reading “Kombucha”

Today’s pantry item comes to you from the freezer. It’s 3 little Trader Joe’s soy nuggets. I’ve got a shoebox sized freezer to begin with that actually needs to be defrosted. And I mean defrosted, like turned off and scraped with a spatula every hour or so and dumping out snowman sized chunks into theContinue reading “Pile of vegetables and some soy nuggets”

I’m back on a clean out the pantry kick for the month of March, so today’s ingredient is a dried ancho chili. Empanadas are a savory Mexican pie and are at least something different than my usual ninjadilla. I used the empanada dough recipe from the Veganomicon. The filling is black beans, kale, one driedContinue reading “Black bean and kale empanadas with ancho chili”
