My Whole Deal

It is 3 sleeps ’til Disneyland and my camera and smartphone are caput! I love you, Vegan MoFo, but mercy?  Read More

Brrrr! Today is the first day it has really felt like Fall in Victoria. So much so that I immediately yanked out the slow cooker at 7 am this morning to warm my house with the scent of an all day stew. Yesterday I took the book, Sporkfed , out of the library. I’ve been perusing it, but gingerly. When I was in highschool, for some reason–perhaps it was related to the fact that, during my initial exposure to Monty Python, the word/concept... more

Thanks for playing everybody. Good vegan-chameleonicating! Tons of great potluck ideas, but, on account of this is my contest and I am one picky vegan, there can only be one winner. And that winner shall win: Just in time, no? It’s the holidays. Hit’em all sneaky like, when they’ll look rude if they poo-poo your shiz. The holidays! They be upon us! You need this book! Yes, you! You! Although I do not know much about this book or... more

That rhyme makes sense  to me because we are going to Disneyland in a mere 6 sleeps and my kids are all about the Pirates of the Caribbean level of the Disneyland Kinect game, in vital preparation. Vegan Thanksgiving. Stiff and Proud be thine Bird. So, we are all done Thanksgiving over here. Thanks to all who played my Potluck game – winner announced at noon PST tomorrow! We hunkered down close to home this long weekend, as we are adventuring... more

Since nobody has entered my super-duper-you-will-like-what-you-get challenge yet, I am opening it up to the States too. Come on Canada! You don’t want a Thanksgiving challenge prize to go to someone from a nation where the holiday occurs way too darn close to X-Mas, do you???? “Hey! You remember the harvest? Horn’o'plenty and whatnot? I totally heralded that! Yeah. Good times. Seems like it was just yesterday, right? That’s... more

Vegan MoFo Day 4. Thanksgiving is coming at us right quick here in Canada-ville. It’s a time for getting together with friends and family and cooking an excessive amount of food. So excessive , in fact, that leftovers often end up in the trash even though we eat ourselves stupid, foreheads glistening with the sweat of our toil. The meaning of the holiday? As much as I can figure, it is to just really rub our beautiful opulence in the faces... more

Well, it’s only day three of Vegan Mofo 2012 and, as I expected, my atrociously busy month is already getting the better of me! I have a deliciously Autumnisinal (I’m not too busy to make up words, apparently!) recipe coming at you tomorrow, but for now, let us take this day to reminisce about the lazy, hazy days of summer. Days when salad was all you needed to sustain you until your next craft beer. Yes, salad days. I didn’t really... more
