emily – houston

wow where is everybody lately? big travel plans? i feel a little lonely over here
i don’t know if i’ve already mentioned this, but we couldn’t get someone to come turn our gas on until the seventh, so my food for the next couple of days is going to be a combination of leftovers from my parents’ visit and things i can cook without a stovetop or oven. i have some ideas.
anyway
tjs bagel with tofutti cream cheese. oj.
leftover pizza
mochi balls that andrea and i got in little vietnam, molasses flavored
freedom bbq/potluck: parts of two pizzas that were grilled on the bbq. apparently tjs sells pizza dough in a frozen little ball? i will have to investigate this further. anyway, they were both just a bunch of veggies and marinara sauce on dough with olive oil, and one in particular had some pretty strong traces of cheese from the non-vegan portions of the pie. it tasted so weird!
also white wine, and lots of it

stacey
breakfast: banana; garlic bagel with earth balance
lunch: cape cod salt and vinegar chips; gatorade (lemonade flavor)
dinner while camping along the Appalachian Trail: tortillas filled with canned peas, canned corn, fire roasted red onion, fire roasted red pepper, fire roasted okra (from the garden- i didn’t really work), and bush’s grillin beans- southern pit bbq (not all of their flavors are vegan, so read the label)
dessert: s’mores (graham crackers; marshmallows and chocolate- all vegan obviously)
drinks while camping: yuengling (yes, we hiked in with beer)
marcy
breakfast at victory’s banner: eggless wonder (stir fry with veggies, brown rice, marinated tofu. served with hearth bread)
leftover pho from the other day
potluck bbq dinner: i made sweet potato cookies. they were supposed to be pumpkin cookies (i think the recipe is in the archive) but it turns out there was a bad crop of pumpkins last year and as a result most grocery stores aren’t carrying canned pumpkin at the moment. so i used canned yams and just washed the “light syrup” off of them. it turned out pretty much the same as the pumpkin cookies usually do, which is to say great.
the other thing i made was a chick pea/cous cous/canned tomato mixture wrapped inside of steamed collard greens and then grilled. the grilling was a nice touch, it made the collards less chewy than they have been in the past.
i also ate tons of chips and homemade guac, a portabella “burger” topped with a friend’s homemade salsa on a whole wheat bun, and grilled corn smeared with earth balance, salt, pepper. homemade sangria. homemade blueberry vegan pie.
wow, as i write this i’m realizing that i had a top notch eating day. nice.

leftover pad thai with tofu no egg
handful of almonds and cranberries
vegan burger from leona’s, on emily’s suggestion. i topped it with onions, mushrooms, and avocados. i don’t think i got the full experience, since it was all soggy and i had to eat it out of the take away container (my house is full of boxes because i’m moving, so no tables and all the dishes were packed too). i think i’ll reserve judgment and try it again later.

carrot; 3-bean salad in whole wheat tortilla; peach
several bowlfuls of toasted oat cereal with homemade soy milk, some with ground flax and agave; peach
last of lentils, rice, kale, tahini sauce; leftover beet thing from the potluck on sunday. i got to examine it more closely, and it was like a sweet, almost syrupy red soup, with beets, dates, squash, raisins, basil, maybe onions, maybe some other root veggies. it was delicious and i ate a lot of it, then got a little weirded out that i couldn’t totally identify all of the many different-textured things in it, which were all beet-colored and sweet from the syrup. nevertheless, i will ask for the recipe.
1/2 cantaloupe; lots of guittard semisweet chocolate chips
