breakfast: raisin toast with Earth Balance; orange juice; chocolate chip cookie dough

coffee

“lunch” at Culver’s: french fries with ketchup (probably vegan according to this, which indicates that they have no egg, dairy, or fish. The only thing other thing that I can imagine would be meat in the flavoring, but they’re hardly flavored.)

Mamba and vanilla wafers in car

dinner: broccoli, carrots, tomato slices, and grapes; lemonade; vegan pizza with “rinotta” cheese and spinach from Pizza Luce. They told me that the mock duck wasn’t vegan on the phone, which I expressed confusion about because it used to be labeled as vegan. It still says it’s vegan on the website so I’m going to have to confirm later.

breakfast: coffee; whole wheat pita and jalapeño hummus

lunch: whole wheat pita, half a tomato, and jalapeño hummus

airport Skittles and coffee-flavored frappuccino from Starbucks (may or may not be vegan; after much confusion and thinking that I established that it was just espresso and soymilk and ice, I saw the barista add two flavor shots. At that point, she had already started making the drink with regular milk (which I owe to the confusion caused by me trying to clarify if it was vegan in a very inefficient way), dumped it, and started over, so I had already wasted the equivalent of one non-vegan frappuccino. So even if this flavor is vegan, I think this is sort of a vegan fail.

dinner: leftover pasta with marinara sauce and sauteed seitan plus vegetables

Luden wild cherry throat drops

2nd dinner at Marcy’s: corn chowder; roasted beets; chocolate chip cookie dough (yum!)

homemade corn chowder, adapted from vegan planet. i roasted frozen corn and didn’t add a milk substitute. it turned out good. roasted beets, tossed with pepper and salt and balsamic.

chocolate chip cookie dough, recipe from vegan cookies take over your cookie jar.

UPDATE: i realized that i forgot to mention my vegan fail! i ate a cracker and while it was in my mouth read the box, which said that it contained artificial butter flavor which contained real dairy. i could taste it! oh well.

very unsatisfying smoothie with strawberries, raspberries, peaches, ricemilk.

brunch at m. henry: tofu scramble (it mostly tasted like turmeric and dill), home fries, yuba (according to the menu, yuba has been a staple soyfood in asia for thousands of years. made from the cream that rises to the top of hot soymilk when making tofu)

cantaloupe

fancy dinner at yoshi’s cafe: grilled breaded tofu (probably a vegan fail but someone i didn’t know very well was buying me dinner so i didn’t inquire too much), and a ton of grilled veggies. salad with balsamic reduction and olive oil. homemade sorbet.

breakfast: leftover chipotle mac and cheese; coffee

lunch: leftover chipotle mac and cheese; romaine lettuce

Luden’s wild cherry throat drops. This time, Marcy, I did not eat them because I was sick, but only because I like cough drops. I wanted to buy a bag of Skittles but realized I didn’t have cash, so then, in frustration on the subway, I ate about 8 of these. They aren’t really cough drops; more like corn syrup and flavor drops.

Blue Moon (vegan according to Barnivore) at Hot Chip concert

dinner at Candle 79: toast with lentils and eggplant sauce; chilled avocado soup; a bite of a wild mushroom tamale with guacamole, cashew sour cream and vegan cheese; grilled tofu with basil-sesame seed pesto and succotash; a bit of pecan-crusted seitan with on tortillas with mole sauce, corn, something else, and radishes; Devil’s Country cocktail (vegan sake, watermelon, muddled chilis, pickled ginger, lime, agave); Allagash Black beer (vegan according to Barnivore, and all drinks at Candle 79 are supposed to be vegan); part of Mexican Chocolate Brownie with caramelized banana, coconut ice cream, toasted pecans, and chocolate-ancho sauce; part of dessert special with figs, caramel-y oat clusters, and fig ice cream

dinner at busboys and poets: Pan-Seared Basil Tofu (vegan) served with roasted red pepper risotto, asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, roasted corn, tomatoes and basil olive oil (this was ok, but not great); Coconut Tofu Bites (these were really, really good, although expensive); Tempeh sandwich with vegan mayonnaise, sprouts, roasted red peppers, sautéed onions on rosemary sun-dried tomato loaf

raisin toast with tofutti cream cheese

lunch at noodles etc. in hyde park: chow mein with tofu

ritz crackers and sour patch kids at inception. note to self: do not make a meal out of crackers and sour patch kids and then watch a movie featuring action scenes filmed with handheld camera, especially if you’re going to sit near the front. i feel like any of these elements alone would have been fine but they combined to make barfy times for sure.

breakfast: shredded wheat with soymilk; coffee

lunch from NY Dosas: masala potato dosa, served with coconut chutney and sambar soup

corn tortilla chips; Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodle Cookies; a bit of chocolate Purely Decadent peanut butter swirl coconut ice cream

dinner: chocolate milk; romaine lettuce with simple mustard dressing (stone-ground mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and Bragg’s liquid aminos, all to taste), topped with homemade seitan sauteed with garlic, ginger, and Berebere spice mix; chipotle mac ‘n’ cheese

I’m not going to post the recipe for this yet because I didn’t measure anything and used some pre-made vegan cheese (Vegan rella) instead of making it entirely from scratch. The whole meal, chipotle in particular, was meant to cover up the taste of this cheese. I didn’t like it on its own, but something about it made me think it could be made to resemble Kraft mac ‘n’ cheese, which for some reason I thought was worth imitating.

So I mixed the cheese with: soymilk, nutritional yeast, stone-ground mustard, fresh lemon juice, Earth Balance, Bragg’s, bread crumbs, adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers, and Mexican chili powder. I tossed the pasta with the sauce, topped with olive-oil-coated bread crumbs, and baked at 400F for about 20-30 minutes. It turned out surprisingly good, I think largely because of the chipotle taste. I’ll try it without the commercial cheese and with measuring next time so I can post a recipe.

breakfast: an onion bagel and 3/4 of a garlic bagel with tofutti cream cheese; mint tea

lunch at thaiphoon: i brought my lunch today, but work was paying, so why not eat out? i got ka pow jae (string beans, zucchini, mushrooms and deep fried tofu stir fried with fresh ground peppers, garlic and basil leaves). you should inform the waiter that you are allergic to fish AND oyster sauce.  If you don’t say you are allergic, the waiters i’ve had only write down “no fish sauce.”  also, the curry sauces are pre-made and have fish sauce.

snack: skittles (katherine ate them once recently and now i can’t stop buying them)

dinner: homemade pizza (carmalized onions, vegan mozeralla cheese, vegan feta cheese, sauce), which i later found out was not vegan.  my housemate made the carmalized onions and although he said they were vegan, they had honey. so  i switched to leftover pizza from last night

drinks: budweiser and pbr (vegan according to barnivore)

breakfast: toasted everything bagel with Tofutti cream cheese and fresh garden tomato; blueberries; coffee

lunch: Trader Joe’s masala veggie burger with melted vegan cheese, lettuce, tomato, homemade pickle and pickled onion, ketchup, and jalapeño Tabasco on bread

dinner: lentil-rice Dosas (followed this recipe but did not let it ferment overnight) and romaine lettuce with Aloo Masala (from this recipe) and seitan red lentil curry (I first prepared homemade seitan by mixing about 1.5c wheat gluten: 1.25c water, kneading, then boiling in vegetable broth+soy sauce+bay leaves+olive oil for about an hour. While that boiled, I started cooking red lentils (just covering in water then simmering until soft, adding more water if necessary); when they were done, I stirred tomato paste into the lentils. Separately, I sauteed onion in olive oil, then after a couple minutes added lemongrass, garlic, ginger, berebere spice mix, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and salt. After a couple more minutes, I added fresh tomato, then after a few more minutes added the lentil/tomato paste mixture. Finally, I added coconut milk, cilantro, and chopped up seitan.)
