MAGIC HAT (VEGAN! except for Odd Notion)
Hi Stacey,
Thanks for writing in. Our beers are indeed vegan. We do not use isinglass
for filtering purposes. We use something called diatomaceous earth, which is
essentially fossilized algae. We did make a beer a while back called
Braggot, a variation of which appeared in winter of ’08 as our Odd Notion,
and that was a mead-style ale brewed with honey. We have not since made a
beer with honey, and we don’t have immediate plans to again. Vinyl does
indeed fit into the vegan category. We hope you enjoy it!Cheers,

They won’t let me post their response- lame! This makes me not want to drink their beer.
cornflakes with ground flax and almond milk; grapefruit
my coworker gave me an extra bag of delicious vegan bread from counter culture (the little loaves they serve their sandwiches on, which they apparently sell for cheap on sundays if there is surplus) and i used half a loaf as a burger bun for a pinto bean burger with chile lime mayo (recipe from 1000 vegan recipes). the burger itself was a little bland and mushy, but with the “mayo”, lettuce, tomato, and that delicious bread it would totally satisfy a craving for fast food; banana with peanut butter and a handful of chocolate chips for dessert
carrot; small gala apple; banana coconut guava muffin
dinner at karibu (one of austin’s two ethiopian restaurants): the usual vegetarian dishes (red lentils, brown lentils, split peas, collards, cabbage, and one with string beans and carrots) served with salad and injera. the food was good, but the injera was not up to par- instead of thick and pliable, it was dry and even kind of crispy around the edges. i think aster’s had better injera, but i remember being a little disappointed by the food. i miss chicago ethiopian!

a version of harissa spaghettini from 101 cookbooks (i made my own harissa loosely following this recipe and using mainly guajillo peppers with a couple chipotles, then tossed it with rotini, kale, sauteed mushrooms, black olives, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sea salt); dried pineapple; lindt intense dark chocolate

another muffin
curry at a friend’s house: eggplant, sweet potatoes, bok choy, a few mushrooms with masaman from a can with ginger, garlic, peanut butter, and tons of coconut milk. i should get into this whole curry in a can thing, it turned out way better than all of my laborious efforts in the direction of ‘real’ curry

breakfast (if you can call it that): leftover pizza from Redrocks and a banana. I need to start eating healthy (or at least not eating pizza and okara burgers for breakfast). I keep using the excuse that because i’ve recently moved i haven’t had time to cook/ shop for food, but i need to stop using that excuse.
snacks picked at the garden: arugula, chives (including the flowers), radish greens (i’m not sure if people really eat these, but i liked them)
snacks when i got home from the garden: chocolate chips, banana and cedar’s lemon zest hummus (it’s gross) with cedar’s “whole wheat” 5 net carb wraps (although I was very skeptical of these wraps- what wrap has 5 net carbs- they were buy one get on free and i couldn’t resist). the wraps taste like the wraps we bought in austin- a lot of gluten.
dinner: vegetable stir fry (frozen peas, fresh asparagus from the farmer’s market, carrots, red onion, pressed garlic, tofu, re-hydrated shiitake mushrooms, sriracha, vegetarian oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown rice, leftover white rice. garnished with fresh arugula and chives from the garden.

Their crust is really good, but the pizza is expensive.

drinks: yuengling black and tan (i realized when writing this post that I have not confirmed yuegling beers are vegan. barnivore doesn’t say much and i emailed yuengling on 9/8/2009 inquring about this, but they never emailed me back. i just sent them another email.
I received a response from Dogfish Head about their beers. Here is their response:
Hey Stacey,
I have had this conversation before with some of our peeps in the lab and we have decided that you would want to stay away from Midas because it has honey in it (bees). But other than that, none come close to any animals. We use diatoms (dead organisms/crushed shells) in our filtration process. Basically when those sea organisms die, their shells call to the bottom of the ocean floor, they are harvested (just the shells) as diatomaceous earth which is used to polish the beer and give it clarity. But that is not considered an animal byproduct and the organisms died on their own, we did not kill them.
Hope that helps!
Cheers!

My first post on someone else’s blog: In response to this post on the Prince of Petworth blog about the new frozen yogurt place in Columbia Heights, I wrote:
Do you know if they will serve vegan frozen yogurt? If so, I will be there everyday!
- 07 May 2010 11:42 AM | Prince Of Petworth Said:
Yes the do! They also have for lactose intolerant folks.
NOTE: I went to the store to get their vegan soft serve and apparently they only have sorbet. I don’t know if their sorbet is vegan. i didn’t bother to ask because i don’t really like sorbet.
