Vegan Valentine
When GreenTriangleGirl from the APlayfulDay podcast asked me to do a Vegan Valentine’s Day edition of her “Munch, Burp, Slurp” segment, I immediately thought, “Hey, I have no significant other, don’t want one, how’s this going to work?” However, as she says in the introduction, GreenTriangleGirl recognizes that I can’t resist a challenge! So I cooked and baked, recorded and begged my daughter and her friends for their opinions, and thus, a Vegan Valentine’s Day podcast segment was born. (My son even tried the cake and rated it as “pretty good”.) On the menu? Mushroom Walnut Pate from Veganomicon by Post Punk Kitchen, Orecchiette with Basil-Mint Aioli from Veganize This! by Jenn Shagrin, some...
Vegan Vampires
Episode 2 – Vegan Vampires is up! I have to say, making a podcast is technically easier than I thought but much harder in terms of content and editing. Trying to hit 30 minutes with each episode, and I did better this time around. Conscious of all my “ums” and “ahs” last time, I think I’m less scattered but still need to work on spontaniety. Like @caithnesscraft said, it’ll come with time! Thanks for listening, and here’s all the info I promised in the show notes: Apology to HoxtonHandmade: I offer up Kate’s mustache themed website portal as this episode’s apology to @hoxtonhandmade. Make sure you roll over each logo as well as the heading at the top to see the facial hair and nifty mustache...
Blog Like It’s the End of the World
It’s a podcast! I threatened to make a podcast when I moved this blog to my own host and updated the design, and now here it is. These are the show notes (so official), and I hope to get the podcast on iTunes shortly. I’ve also changed the name of this blog/website to reflect the podcast title because (1) it’s a pretty bitchin’ title, (2) I made a zombie romcom Summer 2010 with my good friend @NJFilm2011 called Falling to Pieces, and (3) iTunes likes that. So without further ado…. The song Blog Like It’s the End of the World by Tom Smith and Vegan Cheesecake by Slog can be found on Music Alley. The podcasts I mention can be found at the links below: Fluffy Fibers iMake Electric Sheep APlayfulDay CaithnessCraft Frayed...
Vegan Unicorn.
As my web design class barrels towards their final exam, I introduced them to URLs, Hosting, and SEO (oh my) on Monday. I find that the use of my own hosting accounts and web stats makes much more of an impression on them than a general discussion of hits, page views, and referrers. Scrolling down the list of various stats offered, I pointed out what posts brought the most visitors to my site. Much as I wish people landed here in search of insightful views on current trends in education, innovative uses of social media for business, or even random musings about knitting, it’s the vegan recipes that initially entice and inspire return visits. Which is quite alright with me since I’ve been vegan for 2 1/2 years and love nothing more than to spend...
My Drunk Vegan Kitchen
Last spring, quite a few friends forwarded to me the link to My Drunk Kitchen. Some said she looked like me, others said she cooked like me, but I’d like to set things straight, right here, right now. I cook vegan, and while I would love nothing more than to whip up a vegan dinner dressed like Mario, I’m a public school teacher. If I had a contract, somewhere in said contract would be a section stating that, as a school employee, I’m prohibited from having the type of fun Hannah has in her kitchen, vegan or no, and posting it online. A sub-clause of this section would prohibit me from showing anyone where my “Noms At” (which is a good thing since my version would probably be a progressive rock instrumental). My grandmother, also...
Soy Chorizo: Part Duex
A few months ago when Trader Joe’s opened up nearby, I wrote a blog post in praise of soy chorizo. Recently, I made the pilgrimage back to Trader Joe’s – everything in NJ is 20 minutes from everything else – and created a new, incredibly versatile recipe: Rice & Beans with Soy Chorizo 2 Tbsp. EVOO (or however much EVOO you think you need – can’t ever have enough!) 1 medium onion, diced 1 green bell pepper, diced (I’m a big fan of using what I have, so used a red pepper instead – go with what you have on hand!) 1 cup uncooked brown rice 2 cups vegetable broth 1 bay leaf (IDK, this type of recipe always has a bay leaf but don’t know that it adds all that much – leave out if you’d like) 1 14...
