my coworker gave me an extra bag of delicious vegan bread from counter culture (the little loaves they serve their sandwiches on, which they apparently sell for cheap on sundays if there is surplus) and i used half a loaf as a burger bun for a pinto bean burger with chile lime mayo (recipe from 1000 vegan recipes). the burger itself was a little bland and mushy, but with the “mayo”, lettuce, tomato, and that delicious bread it would totally satisfy a craving for fast food; banana with peanut butter and a handful of chocolate chips for dessert

carrot; small gala apple; banana coconut guava muffin

dinner at karibu (one of austin’s two ethiopian restaurants): the usual vegetarian dishes (red lentils, brown lentils, split peas, collards, cabbage, and one with string beans and carrots) served with salad and injera. the food was good, but the injera was not up to par- instead of thick and pliable, it was dry and even kind of crispy around the edges. i think aster’s had better injera, but i remember being a little disappointed by the food. i miss chicago ethiopian!

dried pineapple; lindt intense dark chocolate

snack: more joe’s o’s

lunch from Cafe Green: I am not sure what they call it at the new place, but it was a more expensive version of Revolutionary Chicken from Java Green

dinner: fries from Five Guys

drinks: yuengling black and tan (i realized when writing this post that I have not confirmed yuegling beers are vegan.  barnivore doesn’t say much and i emailed yuengling on 9/8/2009 inquring about this, but they never emailed me back.  i just sent them another email.

I received a response from Dogfish Head about their beers.  Here is their response:

Hey Stacey,

I have had this conversation before with some of our peeps in the lab and we have decided that you would want to stay away from Midas because it has honey in it (bees). But other than that, none come close to any animals. We use diatoms (dead organisms/crushed shells) in our filtration process. Basically when those sea organisms die, their shells call to the bottom of the ocean floor, they are harvested (just the shells) as diatomaceous earth which is used to polish the beer and give it clarity. But that is not considered an animal byproduct and the organisms died on their own, we did not kill them.

Hope that helps!

Cheers!

My first post on someone else’s blog: In response to this post on the Prince of Petworth blog about the new frozen yogurt place in Columbia Heights, I wrote:

Do you know if they will serve vegan frozen yogurt? If so, I will be there everyday!

NOTE: I went to the store to get their vegan soft serve and apparently they only have sorbet. I don’t know if their sorbet is vegan. i didn’t bother to ask because i don’t really like sorbet.

stacey- VEGAN FAIL

May 5, 2010 - .  

breakfast: coffee (free from work) with soy milk (i brought my own to work); way too many cashews

lunch: leftover garden blend chipotle burrito

snack: Non Pareils from Marvelous Market (thanks Joanna).  These are really good.  If you are ever in DC you should make sure to get them.

WARNING: ….ah wait…the non pareils aren’t vegan. they have confectioner’s glaze.  I forgot that I started eating these before I knew what that was. After I found out what it was, I forgot to check how they make their glaze. ahhhh.  I just emailed the company to find out more information.

another snack: a lot of sunflower seeds and red grapes

dinner: asparagus shiitake risotto (fresh asparagus from the farmers market, dried shiitake mushrooms (re-hydrated obviously), saffron, Rapunzel veggie bouillon (really good), olive oil and Earth Balance.  I know the picture sucks- i used my crappy phone. Everyone vote: crappy pictures or no pictures? I vote for no pictures.  Hopefully, once I unpack Zack’s old camera i can take better pictures

I also fried up silken tofu that had gone slightly bad. shelley and i were going to add it to the risotto, but shelley changed her mind. it definitely didn’t taste right, but i sort of liked it. it tasted like an egg (maybe i’m on to something with eating rotten tofu)

beer: Anchor Summer  (I’ve never had this type of beer before- thanks Shelley) vegan according to Barnivore. I sent the company an email to confirm.

katherine – likely vegan fail (never trust a man at a strawberry festival)

April 30, 2010 - .  

breakfast: half a Field Roast sausage; espresso

snacks at the strawberry festival: strawberries; lemon+grape+orange snocone (no animal products in the flavoring, just corn syrup); salt and vinegar popchips (I had avoided these since they list lactic acid, but the popchips representative at the festival said he was certain they were totally vegan, and that the lactic acid must be from a vegetable source. But now I just looked at the website and the answer to the FAQ about veganism is that the original flavor is vegan.. no mention of the salt and vinegar. He might have gotten them mixed up.)

lunch from the place across from Mamoun’s falafel: fava bean pita sandwich with tahini, lettuce, and tomatoes (only $2.50!)

dinner #1 from Chipotle (Manhattan, NY): vegetarian burrito (guacamole, black beans, cilantro rice, corn salsa, tomato salsa, lettuce, flour tortilla)
