At the vegan grocery store in San Diego, they sell raw vegan cheesecake. It’s really delicious, but it costs $5/slice. So I thought I’d try to make one myself.
I found what looked like a good recipe, and noted that I had to soak some cashews. 10 hours later, I took my newly soaked [...]

23Oct07Vegan Test Kitchen: Pancakes
21Aug07I’m back home in Ithaca, NY spending some quality time with my family. First order of business: create the perfect vegan pancake!
We made 20 different recipes of pancake, varying basic proportions, auditioning potential “secret” ingredients, and having a gay old time. Here are our findings, with the final recipe at the bottom. [...]
I’ve been meaning to do it for months, and my half-roommate Gina went ahead and did it. She got pots, topsoil, plant food, a cucumber plant, two tomatoes and a basil. She’s got a green thumb so they get a lot of attention from her. They get a lot of attention from [...]
Choice and responsibility
25Apr07Today I found my friend Emilie’s amazing blog, The Conscious Kitchen. Seriously, amazing. Everything looks delicious, and lots of fun stories about food experiences.
One of Emilie’s creations. Is this even legal in the state of Massachussettes?
Her post from Monday, Simple Pleasures and Guilt, really resonated with my recent food experiences. She [...]
Cooking
25Apr07As mentioned, I uploaded a bunch of photos of the vegan concoctions we’ve been cooking up at dinner coop and elsewhere. A bunch of these have recipes that are now in the coop wiki, and I want to share those with all of you, but…
If I link to the wiki, it’s going to be [...]
Preciousness
23Apr07I really wanted to post some pictures today of all the delicious vegan things we’ve been cooking lately (mushroom-seitan tacos! sun-dried tomato roasted red pepper artichoke heart dip!) but I think I left my camera at Kensy’s. Alas.
Instead, I couldn’t resist posting a link to this letter Naomi Wolf wrote to her daughter. It’s probably [...]
St. Valentine’s Curse
15Feb07In case you hadn’t guessed, I found my camera! It turns out I left it in Stephanie’s car after the reading at The Rubber Rose… which was awesome, by the way. It was a sort of book release party for The IHOP Papers, a novel by Ali Liebegott. I think it was [...]
Weekend
16Jan07Here’s a bit of a recap, with photos.
Dinner tonight: Aloo Gobi
It was quite a weekend. Friday was the Cognitive Science Happy Hour, wherein we stood outside in the freezing cold making small talk. Met some new folks from Sociology I think. These things run together…
Saturday morning woke up at 5:00am, Paul picked [...]
Thai Curry
04Dec06I made a Thai Curry today, and much was learned.
I included some squash, zuccini, baby corns, onion, a few mushrooms, and silken tofu. The squash was too mushy, and I didn’t like the way it worked with the coconut milk. The zuccini was too mushy too, but the flavor was good, and I [...]
Gift ideas
28Nov06I’m not expecting any extravagant gifts this year, but I just wanted to throw out that my Amazon wish list is up to date, that I am really excited about the Nintendo Wii, and that I have 48 jars of spices in boxes in my room, and that it might be nice to have them [...]
