spicy refried black beans and mango in a flour tortilla

salad (romaine, spinach, beet, carrot, avocado, cashews, raisins, ginger-miso dressing) in a whole wheat tortilla (HEB); valencia orange

carrot; veggie pirate’s booty; last spicy chocolate cupcake; tastes while making hummus; banana

**thoughts on the perpetual hummus creaminess question: i made last-minute hummus for a picnic and didn’t have time to soak the chickpeas ahead of time, using canned instead. this hummus turned out wayyyyy creamier than it ever has using the same recipe but starting with dried chickpeas. it was way more satisfying than the playdough-y texture i usually achieve, enough to make me consider using canned chickpeas regularly. it’s more expensive than using dried, but still significantly cheaper and more satisfying than buying hummus (unless it’s grandma’s hummus)

picnic with friends: cashew “cheese,” one brick topped with rosemary and lavender and the other with ground black pepper; gluten-free herb crackers; beet, carrot, and spinach salad with herb vinaigrette; homemade hummus; baba ganoush from a can (surprisingly good); carrots, bell peppers, zucchini; flour tortillas; two kinds of red wine (one was gnarly head, which has a confusing entry on barnivore but sounds like the reds are okay for vegans)

ONE coconut water with a splash of pink guava (that is the name of the flavor). coconut water is supposedly high in electrolytes and other good things and is therefore beneficial to consume after exercising or during a hangover. it’s also used instead of blood in blood transfusions (what? yes, i read it on the internet)!

Stacey,

Thank you for taking the time to write and ask about Budweiser.

Anheuser-Busch beers are brewed around the world using water, yeast, barley malt, hops and cereal grains (such as rice, corn, or sorghum).

None of our Anheuser-Busch brewed beers or other products contain any animal ingredients (such as milk, eggs, etc), or process aids such as isinglass or gelatin, except for Michelob Honey Lager and Michelob Honey Wheat, which use real honey, and Budweiser and Bud Light Chelada, which contain Clamato.

Stacey, thanks again for your interest.  We hope that this information is helpful!

dinner at Mamoun’s falafel and then Five Guys: falafel sandwich; grape leaves; Cajun french fries with ketchup; peanuts. Five Guys doesn’t serve quite as many fries in NYC as they do in DC, but still very tasty.

From Five Guys FAQ page (in summary, the bun and therefore the veggie sandwich is not vegan; the french fries are vegan):

Q: Do you offer any food which is suitable for vegetarians?

A: Yes, to a certain extent. Our veggie sandwich and grilled cheese sandwiches are suitable for lacto-vegetarians. One thing to take note of is that our veggie sandwich is NOT a veggie burger. Our veggie sandwich consists of as many “veggie” toppings as you desire and served on our basic bun. You can add cheese if you please. Our bread is toasted, but usually on a separate grill from meat products. However, there is always a chance for cross contamination, so please check at the individual location where you are ordering to be certain. Finally, our fries are just plain potatoes cooked in 100% peanut oil and are suitable for even vegan diets.

Q: Do any Five Guys products contain soy or dairy?

A: Our rolls contain both soy and dairy.

soymilk; ginger ale; leftover orange poppyseed cake

desert: cookie avalanche ice cream made by turtle mountain
