I love opportunities to try new foods, especially fabulous vegan ones. D.C. is VERY accommodating to vegans and I even found the site VegDC.com which lists numerous restaurants.

I arrived on Thursday night so we had time for some dinner our and we went to Bangkok Joe's, a delicious Thai restaurant. We started with the spring rolls which were not ( Read more... )

My first attempt at rawish tacos was time consuming and not anything spectacular. My second attempt has resulted in me eating them at least four times in the past week, they are that good! Although I don't eat a 100% raw diet, I am cutting out as much gluten, grains, and beans as possible. As a vegetarian I ate a lot of bean burritos, but now, ( Read more... )

Kale is an interesting veggie; It's kind of a cross between a lettuce and cabbage with a nice crunch, but somewhat bitter taste.

So, change number 1 was getting my Master's degree and change number 2 is my new way of eating. Since mid-April I have been eating mostly vegan semi-raw. I've cut out gluten/ ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my sister's baby shower. I tend to have issues with going all out and being a perfectionist about things like themed parties. I get angry when I can't find/create something I envision in my head. I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. We even got crafty at the party and everyone got to design their own bib or onesie. I bought a ( Read more... )

I am managing to avoid working on my research paper and any school work at the moment. Besides those two things occupying my time I needed to make an effort to deal with some of my CSA veggies. The past three weeks have been the "Summer Survivor" season so there isn't as much variety. Last night I cooked up 2 butternut squash and about 9 eggplants ( Read more... )
