Peace out February, you won’t be missed

Thanks for all the positive feedback on my OpenSky shop!  I have a ton more in the works, so I’ll keep you guys in the know.    I had an accident with my froth this morning.  Disregard the mess, it tasted awesome. Bride mag + apple = bridapple.  Sounds like a horse food.  Ah well.  Lunch was a toasty sando with roasted red pepper hummus and greek yogurt-i-fied tofu “turkey” spread. I think I added too much greek yogurt 😕 because the “turkey” spread was a little overly oozy.  I don’t think this sammie was… Read more >

Mother Nature must be mad

Can you believe this weather?  Haiti, Chile, Hawaii…makes the East Coast snow seem insignificant.  There’s a car under there somewhere… So I stomped my way through a good foot of snow to get to the hospital today.  Brrr.  I toted my usual eats with me too, including a big salad, a squash side dish, and apples and bars aplenty.

Gorilla Food in Vancouver

As I have mentioned before, my (future) in-laws are completely supportive and respectful of my vegan lifestyle.  So much so, that they did research before we headed to Vancouver and had a perfect lunch spot all picked out. Gorilla Food is right near Waterfront (where the Olympic rings and torch is), so we took the Skytrain there and then walked the few blocks to the restaurant.  Cute no?  Despite the tree going through the ceiling, the atmosphere was cozy and the staff was really friendly (like the rest of the Canadians we encountered).  The lady… Read more >

What the Olympics taught me

1)  Canadians are super nice, welcoming, and very friendly. (Kyle nearly had a heart attack as I took out my camera while we were passing the border patrol…whatever, I live on the edge…) 2)  Canadians are pretty die hard when it comes to ice hockey. (These pictures are just the tip of the iceberg in fanatic behavior) (The sea of red as we were waiting to get let into the stadium) (Maple leaf much?) 3)  Vancouver has almost as many Starbucks’ as Manhattan (read: I was in caffeine heaven). (I’m fairly certain that my patriotic… Read more >
