I’ve got a pile-up of products to share. As usual, some were good, some were okay, and some were losers. 1. Zing chocolate peanut butter bar Kyle stole this from me, but took a photo (which means he knew he was in the for-Elise-only bar stash). In any event, here is his review: Zing bar was good. Tastes like a tiger’s milk bar (for anyone that matters to) but better and not as chalky. Fluffy enough to be chewy but hearty enough to be satiating. 2. Healthy Surprise delivery service These services are popping… Read more >

A few nights ago Kyle and I went to dinner with another couple at Rustic Canyon. It’s less than a hundred steps from our apartment. I did what I usually do when I’m going to be dining with others at a non-vegan restaurant and called ahead of time to make sure (a) they were able to accommodate my diet, (b) the chef was aware of what veganism is, and (c) the staff was comfortable in helping me navigate the menu. This may seem annoying or impolite, but if you approach it the right way, it’s… Read more >

Happy holidays everyone! It’s Christmas up in here 🙂 I’m working on the 25th, so Santa was nice and obliging and came early this year (this post is from the 21st). To celebrate as a family, we all went to dinner in the city. In spite of the gross weather, we headed into San Francisco early to browse the Ferry Building, check out the tree (in Union Square) and grab some drinks at the famous Harry Denton’s Starlight Room. Views of the Ferry Building… Making our way to Union Square… SF love After soaking… Read more >

Up to this point in the weekend, the food at the festival had been good. Just good. Not great. Nothing had wowed me. In other words, I was still waiting to go gaga over something. In spite of this, I strutted into the Ferry Building with my chin up high. Brush that dirt off yo shoulder. Having seen the menu beforehand, my expectations weren’t high. In fact, I was a bit nervous about how vegan-izable the meals would be. Especially given the minimal veg-friendly options available at the previous Foodbuzz events. From left to right… Read more >

I started the morning sans cafe because I just wasn’t in the mood. The wind was pretty ferosh outside, which always makes me want to snuggle up with a book. So I read on the couch while enjoying a plate of grapes and strawberries. Later on a made an oat, cinnamon, raisin elixir. Here’s a confession: I like raw oats. As in, uncooked whole rolled oats. When I was little I used to pour the instant Quaker packs in a bowl, add milk, and eat it like cold cereal. Obviously, my palate hasn’t matured very… Read more >
