Heartichoke: The Perfect Lychee Martini

Posted on by • 5 Comments

‘Perfect’ is such a temperamental, evolving term, and I certainly wouldn’t be using it if my sister didn’t keep lychee juice in her fridge for her precious lychee martinis. Our stop into Verlaine on the lower east side, years ago, for $5 lychee martinis during happy hour takes the inspiration, and we almost repeated it for … Continue reading »

Three Cities

Four days ago, I was enjoying the final, hectic day of a very busy, hurricane-extended hiatus in New York City. Three days ago, I made my way to Seattle for the Vida Vegan Tech Seminar.

There are less than two days remaining on my New York hiatus, and I can’t seem to fit in enough time for bagels. The agony! I’ve fallen a bit behind as we near the last stretch of VeganMoFo. It’s funny, my sister and I worked on what could be a Dinner with…Jen and a new … Continue reading »

For today’s Thai Tuesday, I’d simply like to share a handful of photos from various cities I visited on my Thai travels. Thailand is full of fresh produce, Buddhist traditions and powerful spices, and I rarely had difficulty finding vegan options. I currently remain on hiatus at my sister’s in Brooklyn, and our late night … Continue reading »

Monday is for Reminiscing: Peace Cafe Cooking Class & Angkor Wat

Ah, VeganMoFo. Convincing me to reflect and scroll through my digital photos, page by page, memory by memory. During the preparation for my much-referenced but seldom documented hiatus last winter, I felt a pull towards Cambodia (especially after pouring over this) so strong that I decided to spend the holidays there, by myself. It’s difficult … Continue reading »

Canada ate my camera

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 »
