Music and Veganism

First off, I finished 7 days of raw, and the last two days were awesome but I ran out of food and didn’t feel like spending another $50 on groceries.  But it was good!  I recommend that everyone gives it a try.  Since ending it I haven’t been eating great, but I have consciously been [...]

Jeez– I have been terrible at writing entries on here.  I’ve also been terrible at taking pictures of recent food concoctions.  And I’ve never been good at taking pictures of food in restaurants– I’m much too self-conscious– but this week I got to go to my favorite vegetarian (and mostly vegan) Chinese food restaurant in [...]

It would rain even though it wasn’t supposed to after I spent a fair amount of time spraying my backyard with citronella oil.  ‘Cause that’s how nature rolls.
Anyways, obviously I didn’t work today, since this is my second time blogging today.  Just wanted to share some recent food I’ve been cooking.  I haven’t made any [...]

First off, I did make that caponata stew, and it was delicious.  But my camera’s batteries were still dead, so I did not get a picture of it’s deliciousness.  The below photo is the one in the magazine and on the website.
Caponata Stew, from February 2007.
I loved this recipe.  We ate it with brown rice [...]

Two Bean Salad w/ Tarragon Dressing, from April 2007.
This called for artichoke hearts, which I LOVE but forgot to buy.  I added corn as a sub, and some little pasta thingies to make it more of a meal.
Overall, I really liked this– I ate it over the next few days, topped raw greens w/ it, [...]

First off, thanks for the concerns about my plants.  At first I was pretty upset about it, but I just didn’t have the energy to get too angry.  I knew some attack would come on them, and now it has.  And yes, they all died.  But I had some plants on the roof that are [...]

[Get ready for a long one!]
True, I complain about my neighborhood constantly and can’t wait to move out, but I’m no fool.  I know that most people would love to live in Queen Village (especially for the measly rent we pay) because it’s safe, old, beautiful, and one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Philly.  [...]

Man– today is gloomy, gloomy, gloomy.  I was not in the mood to cook, so Phil made some quick spaghetti from a jar before heading over to band practice.  All in all, however, aside from this weekend, I’ve been doing fairly well on my 30 day challenge, with some amendments: I am still eating soy, [...]

Because we had leftovers of the hot and sour soup (unfortunately… I think it got more bland overnight), I still had Chinese food on the brain.  So, as an accompaniment, I whipped up this completely fat free rice dish, obviously inspired by fried rice, but since I’m not cooking with oil that was out of [...]

I finally ventured to the Spring Garden Market at 4th and Spring Garden the other day.  I didn’t have much money on me, but yesterday I decided to go back and get some cheap fruit and produce for juice.  Here’s yesterday’s juice before I stirred it.

Hah!  Isn’t that weird?  It’s a kiwi, an apple, a [...]
