breakfast: flax flakes with soymilk; Oren’s coffee with soymilk

mixed fruit (strawberry, cantaloupe, grapes, orange, blueberries)

lunch at Carrie’s baby shower: my wild rice salad (recipe); Jessica’s veganized risotto with zucchini; Des’s cabbage and ramen salad; kalamata olives; figs; cherry tomato; carrot; vegetable crackers with olive hummus; strawberries

side
  • 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.

dinner at Bogota (they label vegan items on their menu): plantain chips with house salsa; fried yucca with green sauce; kale and red onion salad; gallo pinto; quinoa cakes (made with sweet potato and black beans with Colombian aji sauce); classic margarita; Quilmes beer (didn’t know before drinking it, but possibly not vegan (search page for quilmes))

Jacques Torres Almondine chocolate. I received a box of 12 chocolates as a gift; at least I was able to eat one of them (the other ~vegan flavor was not included in the assortment):

Hello Katherine,

The only two bon bon flavors that can possibly be considered vegan are the Pistachio Marzipan (pistachios, sugar, chocolate) and Almondine (almonds, sugar, chocolate – decoration made from cocoa butter and food coloring). However, please note that because we make products on shared machinery (same machine for enrobing milk and dark chocolate) there may be traces of dairy in these two flavors.

Hope this helps,

cherry tomatoes; champagne (might not be vegan)

dinner at Spadaro: bread with garlic and olive oil; dandelion greens; eggplant with red sauce; pasta with fava beans and dandelion greens and red pepper flakes; pasta with asparagus and saffron; red wine (may not be vegan)
