breakfast: Cheerios with soymilk; coffee

lunch at The Village Inn (Cornucopia, Wisconsin): spaghetti with marinara sauce, mushrooms, onions, and peppers; salad with vinaigrette; crackers; South Shore Brewery Nut Brown Ale (may not be vegan); sip of Leinenkugel’s Original (vegan according to Barnivore)

I want to quote Barnivore’s Leinenkugel’s response because I find it especially thorough and polite (Honey, we should take a tour there!):

Company Email: Jan 2010
“Thank you for taking the time to contact us. We’re happy to tell you we do not use isinglass to settle the yeast in our beers. Typically, isinglass is used by folks when brewing ales. We brew mostly lagers–although we do not use it in the brewing of our special ale either. Our beers do not contain additives or preservatives. They are not formulated with any milk, egg, fish or shellfish (biogenic amines), tree nuts, peanuts or soybeans. Leinenkugel’s Honey Weiss, Berry Weiss, Sunset Wheat and Summer Shandy all use honey in the brewing process. I hope this helps you and if you ever find yourself in our neck of the woods I hope you can stop and take a historic tour of the nation’s 7th oldest brewery, we’ll have a few cold ones waiting for you.”

dinner: roasted beets, sweet potato, and beet greens; original vegan Boca burger on bun with tomato, ketchup, mustard, and relish

Italian Bran Raven beer (last of my mom’s birthday bird beers that I am going to try… may not be vegan)

dark chocolate (Endangered Species brand); Twizzlers

Duluth Brewhouse wildfire beer (may not be vegan)

- Shortbread Cookie
  1/4 cup earth balance, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1.75 cups flour, 1 cup sugar. soften earth balance and oil, mix in sugar until well-blended, then add flour until blended, form into whatever shape you like. poke each cookie with a fork. bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
- North-and-South-of-the-Border Wild Rice Salad
  - 2 c uncooked wild rice
  - 5 c water (or however much you need to cook your wild rice)
  - 3 corn cobs
  - 3 shallots, minced
  - 4 cloves garlic, minced
  - 1-3 jalapeños, seeds discarded, minced (1 is very mild; 3 is spicy)
  - 1.5 T olive oil
  - 1 T white balsamic vinegar
  - juice of 1/2 lime
  - pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  - handful of cilantro, coarsely chopped
  - salt and pepper
  Cook the wild rice and let cool. Grill or roast the corn (to roast, this method works well, baking for 30 minutes at 350F in the husk or in aluminum foil), then cut off the kernels (it's fun to keep some of the kernels attached to each other). Saute the shallots, garlic, and jalapeño in 1/2 T olive oil on medium heat, adding salt and pepper to taste, until cooked (3-4 minutes). Toss together the rice, sauteed vegetables, remaining olive oil, and the rest of the ingredients, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add more olive oil, vinegar, and lime if desired.

- Apple Sage Quinoa
  - 1 c dried quinoa
  - 1-2 potatoes, chopped into bite-sized chunks
  - 1-2 carrots, chopped into bite-sized chunks
  - 1-2 T olive oil
  - 1 onion, chopped
  - 4 cloves garlic, minced
  - an inch of ginger, minced
  - 10+ leaves of fresh sage, minced
  - crushed red pepper
  - chili powder
  - oregano
  - salt and pepper
  - 1 apple, chopped into small cubes
  - 1 can diced or crushed tomatoes (optionally replace half with tomato-chili sauce)
  - 1/4 c macadamia nuts, chopped (optional)
  - 1/4 c cilantro (optional)
  - 1/4 c scallions, chopped (optional)
  - splash apple cider vinegar (to taste, maybe 2 tsp?)
  Cook quinoa according to directions.
  
  In a pot, add potatoes and carrots and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, and cook for a few more minutes, until just starting to cook, but not until too soft (like you would do with home fries).
  
  Saute onion, ginger, and garlic in the olive oil. After a few minutes, add the cooked potato and carrot, and cover. After a few more minutes, add the spices (sage, crushed red pepper, chili powder, salt, and pepper), and cover again.
  
  Cook until the potato and carrots are soft. At this point, add the apple, and saute for another minute or two. Then, add the tomatoes and macadamia nuts. Once hot, add the cilantro, scallions, and apple cider vinegar, plus more salt if needed.
