Vegan Mofo!!




Alright, in an effort to make me cook and post more, I've joined up for Vegan Mofo! It's the Vegan Month o' Food ...all November long! I noticed some folks are choosing themes, but I think my theme should be "cook and post as much as I can!".

I'm already straying from that... I had not much time before work for cooking, so I walked down the street to Wayne's Chicago Red Hots. (a hotdog place here in PDX that has an two awesome vegan dogs.)

I got myself a "Treehugger" dog with Chicago-Style toppings and fries. I eat them all the time and they are still amazing.


I know some people are saying, hey I could make that at home, but I think this is one of those examples where the sum is greater than the parts. The steamed bun and all those toppings really make it.



Aaaaaand I got some fries...all potatoey and sprinkled with Kosher Salt. Aw yeah.




Stay tuned for a few boring meals, then payday, then grocery shopping! I'll tell you how I shop twice a month and on a budget. Oh and Thanksgiving menu ideas too!

Shame on you Pix Patisserie....


Yesterday I was very displeased when I went to have a cuppa at a little coffee and dessert place around the corner from my house named Pix Patisserie. Here in Portland, I think they are widely regarded as the best place to take a date or a good friend for espresso, cocktails and sweets. And I totally used to think it was charming. Until yesterday... I was very disappointed to see they were selling T Shirts which read...


J'AIME FOIE GRAS


Which, as most of you know, is a horrid practice...just google it to check it out. (yum yum burst liver)

This may seem drastic, but I don't think I'll ever go back. Plus there is the fact they have no vegan desserts and sometimes dodgy service.....but mostly the foie gras promoting tees. How sad.
