Feed Your Head

I’m a bit overwhelmed. It seems the careful planning and sequencing I practiced in my undergraduate studies has given way to graduate level cramming. This is a new experience for me, the usually-neurotic planstress. In an effort to keep my butt in the chair facing the screen I’ve increased my caloric intake. Some quick bites in between papers…

Sometimes I wish I lived far from New York City so I could visit and go to Babycakes. I know this makes no sense at all. But I’ve traveled far and wide in my vegan bakery quest. It seems unfair to just hop on the subway or, better yet, take a spin with Max so he can get some gluten-free yummers. I’m used to extending far more effort for a delicious cupcake. (Their new location is opening in Los Angeles soon so perhaps I’ll live the dream.) Anyway, I usually opt for a vanilla cupcake at Babycakes. In fact, I hadn’t had a chocolate since the small bakery opened 4 or so years ago. This time, at 10:50 p.m. mere minutes from closing, I had to take what they had to offer: chocolate-chocolate! What the heck was I thinking!? The chocolate cupcake was absolutely delish. An aside, I can’t help but post this adorable video Babycaker Erin McKenna put together to promo her new book out May 5!

And speaking of adorable vegan ladies, Kylie is the author of one of my new favorite blogs, the baking bird. She had a scrumptious posting on Vcon‘s banana bread that inspired my utilizing the leftover farmhouse bananas. CandyPenny and I scrambled to pull it all together after a fast-food yoga class but we overshot. Unnecessary evening caloric intake aside, it had to be done. For some reason I couldn’t even begin my class assignments till these bananas were taken care of… having their blackened peels sitting in my fruit bowl would have distracted me way too much. Back to the adorable vegan ladies, where are all the vegan fellows? Or, more specifically, where are all the vegan guy bloggers? Do they exist out there? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about the Vegan Dilf but he seems to be an anomaly. I’ve grown weary of males as just the sidekicks in the vegan blog world. Anyone know any good links?
