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 »
Heartichoke: Orange Watermelon & Jalapeño Mimosa
Happy theme change Monday! I actually made this cocktail in advance before my departure to New York, but as imagined, life is moving quickly, and since it’s hiatus, I can pretend weekdays don’t exist. What’s a girl to do when the thought of enjoying a spicy Bloody Mary for breakfast, even one made from heirloom tomatoes, … 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 »
Portlanding: A.N.D. Cafe
Somehow, someway, I didn’t make it out to A.N.D. Cafe, one of Portland’s newer vegetarian spots, until last month. When it comes to brunch, which is currently the main focus at the all-vegetarian and just-as-vegan-friendly spot on East Burnside & 54th, I like to have my options within a 10-minute walking radius. It’s a laid … Continue reading »
Thai Tuesday: Lemongrass & Yellow Curry Baked Tofu
Welcome back to Thai Tuesday! Thanks to the constant presence of lemongrass, hot peppers and a can of coconut in my small kitchen this summer, I have another actual recipe to share. It was a result of one of those very special clean-out-the-fridge meals….most of a block of tofu, that lemongrass, half a can’s worth of … 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 »
Heartichoke Friday: Coconut Chai Hot Toddy with Vanilla-Infused Whiskey
Gosh, just this time last week, I was gleeful about autumn’s arrival, and then I remembered what that actually means. It’s suddenly wet again in Portland, a way of life that’s inevitable until late Spring, and apparently, something I’m still in denial about after a decade of raindrops. How do I pretend it’s not all soaked … Continue reading »
