coffee

breakfast from A.R.E.A. bagels: Honey and I shared an everything bagel with scallion tofu cream cheese, onion and tomato

lunch at Red Bamboo: pineapple seafood fried rice (soy fish, scallops, crab, shrimp, red and yellow peppers and white rice); creole soul chicken (panko-breaded soy chicken with rosemary and Cajun seasoning served with sweet corn mashed potatoes, steamed carrots, yellow squash, zucchini, and mushroom gravy)

dessert at Lula’s Sweet Apothecary: an ice cream sundae – 1 scoop of earth worm (chocolate cashew-based ice cream, with crumbled cookies and gummy worms), 1 scoop of soft serve cake batter ice cream (soy-based), hot fudge, coconut whipped cream, and extra gummy worms

snack: a taste of a peanut butter bomb by Vegan Treats (we bought it at Atlas Cafe)

Dr-Cow blue-green cashew cheese and WayFare hickory-smoked cheddar spread with Carr’s table water crackers; a regretted bite of perhaps stale Ryvita sesame rye crackers

dinner: green tea soba noodles (that have been in my cabinet for like a year, anticipating making them with Stacey) with soy sauce, wasabi, and scallions; miso soup (same recipe as before but with just 1/4 the bouillon concentration on the box, more dried shiitakes, and only 5T instead of 6T of miso); bok choy with red pepper flakes, sesame oil, salt, and pepper

beer tasting! Smuttynose Robust Porter (vegan according to barnivore); Peak Organic Maple Oat Ale (vegan- see company responses about vegan products); Harpoon Grateful Harvest Cranberry Ale (vegan according to their website); Crispin Light Hard Cider (vegan according to barnivore); Dogfish Head Saison deu Buff (Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, & Thyme) (vegan- see company responses about vegan products); Rogue Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout (vegan according toe barnivore); Lindeman’s Peche (Peach) Lambic (vegan according to barnivore); our homebrew lambic (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.
