More (vegan) Cooking in Bushwick

After a few years off, I found myself visiting the ‘ol home state not once but twice in late 2012. I’d been perusing those tempting fare alert emails, talking snow withdrawal with J.

Tonight, I’m back in Portland, accompanied by my cats, both Legume sisters, MoFo back-log (let’s blame that hurricane, that Bushwick … Continue reading »

Dinner with Jules and Jen: Cambodian-inspired Curry Noodle Soup

Hello from Brooklyn! I’m not sure how, but after a cross-country red eye, hard morning nap, renewed day of sightseeing, lackluster (for shame!) dim sum, Chinatown grocery shopping and subway dancing, we kept the VeganMoFo spirit of Dinner with Jules alive with a homemade dinner with Jules…and Jen (and her boyfriend and myself) last night. … Continue reading »
