Scenes, Beans and Zebra (Cup) Cakes

Posted on May 1, 2013 by jess sconé • 7 Comments

A combination of baketivism and plastic-wrapped nostalgia at its finest. These were for last weekend’s Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale in Portland, inspired by a big ole vganized Zebra cake that J. Legume and I made a few months ago. I vaguely remember our conversation on what type of cake to make for a gathering, and the vegan … Continue reading »

Monday is for Reminiscing: Celebrating in Seattle

Posted on October 8, 2012 by jess sconé • 9 Comments

While my original intention for Monday’s theme was to share stories and photos from travels a bit further from Seattle, walking into a third decade during a short mid-week getaway with J.

Soy Latte, Kaladi Brothers, Capitol Hill Turning 30 has been ridiculously wonderful with a little more ridiculous thrown in. J. Legume and I spent some truly lovely time in Seattle, eating Thai cuisine for every single, glorious meal, and then I headed off to Victoria, B.C. where I caught up with my BFF Gabrielle, sipped sparkling … Continue reading »

31 Hours and Three Lattes: A Seattle Photo Essay

Posted on May 11, 2012 by jess sconé • 5 Comments

It was business as usual. One of my first stops: a mug of house Caffé Vita & the vegan chocolate cupcake at Cupcake Royale What clearly, … Continue reading »

Eugene, Eugene with the Sisters Legume

Posted on April 5, 2012 by jess sconé • 10 Comments

It looks me nine years of dwelling in the Pacific Northwest, one quick train ride, and the encouragement of two sisters, but I finally made it to Eugene for the weekend recently. The break included sunshine, strolls, Lane County farmers market, vegan food, frolicking at the top of Skinner Butte, soy lattes, TMNT: The Secret … Continue reading »

Beverage breaks

It’s damn near sleeting outside right now, Portland is freaking out, and I could go for a warm frothy mug of peppermint hot chocolate. Or this, from Cacao. Or what the hey, a giant pumpkin pie cocktail is pretty much the same thing. Also warming, from Wafu.. Even better when you pair it with this: … Continue reading »
