It’s about to get all food porn up in here. But first, some related anticipation with not only a purpose, but hope for those of us stuck working downtown and tired of shuffling away without direction when our go-to food cart is closed for the owner’s family cat’s birthday (which I totally understand): Sure, I [...]

Veggie Grill Weekend, Day Two: Avocados & New Menu Items
The following is a continuation of menu food porn from my recent Veggie Grill weekend. This post hereby includes upcoming Veggie Grill menu items of the ‘fork and knife’ variety (brief pondering: Do you call it ‘knife and fork?’ Or is that phrasing simply more carnivorous?), a morning visit to the Hollywood Farmers Market, strolling the [...]
Veggie Grill Weekend: Day One
While I could sit here for hours and slowly being to photo document my December-long travels in Southeast Asia, deciding the next day’s destination on a whim, sleeping in a bamboo hut alongside a river, attempting to rock a saree at a Sindhi wedding, watching the sunset from the steps of ancient ruins, or the [...]
Baby, you’ve got a Bad Reputation…
Just a quick update on a busy day – the Portland Farmers Market returned this morning (!!!!!!!), and I’ll have a bunch of photos to share from my produce wanderings soon.

Happy (Belated) Vegan Pizza Day from Portland!
This past Saturday, the nondairy cheese industry rejoiced as thousands of vegans gripped their stomachs in post-vegan-pizza-overload. I celebrated (or supported said vegan-friendly industries) by enjoying the greasy heck out of a slice of breakfast pizza at Sizzle Pie, which I can’t get enough, and by assembling some English Muffin pizzas for hungry friends later on [...]

A Few Days in the Life; Last Month: The Vegan Vacation in LA
First time. Los Angeles. Vacation. Tourist Sights. Vegan Foodz. Every time I start to tell the stories of my short vacation in Los Angeles, I start squealing about catching up with an old friend, or dramatically demonstrating how I threw out my back on the morning of the last day – so, I’ll let the photos do [...]
return from travels & vegfest photos
Alright! I’ve spent the past weekend resting, doing laundry, and catching up with my cats after two weeks traveling on the West Coast for my mysterious day job. As much as I usually think Portland is the bees knees, and as much as I complain about having a day job, I’m grateful for my employment [...]
Adventures with Daiya: Macaroni & Cheese
Vegan or not, who can deny this mac and cheese looks realistic? I spy melting! Somewhere out there, a vegan couple is considering giving their newborn the middle name “Daiya”. Somewhere in Portland, I’ve come to accept and appreciate Daiya more than ever before. The latest test? Adventuring into Macaroni & Cheese territory. Vegan-traditionally, I [...]
Adventures with Daiya: Tofurkey Pizza
The new Tofurkey Pepperoni Pizza, Sampled at Food Fight! My past exerperiences with Daiya have ranged from a tasty, gooey grilled cheese with tomato at Savor Soup House, to uncooked samples at VegFest, to so so home experiments, to the oozing pizza I thought was going to coat my mouth forever and lead to the [...]
