Ψ Vegan Deviled Eggs Ψ

I love a challenge of veganization. I’ve tried it all. So with the most recent issue of VegNews came my next challenge. Vegan Deviled Eggs. I’ve never had “real” deviled eggs nor have I ever had the desire to eat a vegan version! But sometimes I make food just to see Read more…


Pumpkin Extravaganza

It was time to say goodbye to the beautiful pumpkins that graced my home and classroom for weeks. I really love this part. Opening ’em up, pulling their stringy innards and seeds from their packed, dense flesh with my bare hands, I imagine the procedure is akin to butchering. Processing Read more…


Out/About Vegan {Summer Edition 2}

I can’t stop eating it. Mango and sticky rice. I love it. I think I need to do a search for the best–and really, when I say the best I mean the biggest portion. I really have never had a bad batch. Even after this to-go mango & sticky rice Read more…


2010: The Year in Food

In the year 2010, more than any other, the camera was angled down, capturing flicks of food. Sure, there are people on the other side of the table. Had the camera lifted its head, it’d see. But for a gal who sorts time through food, the vibrant color of shared Read more…


Lotza Vegan Latkes

We celebrated Chanukah in my classroom last week. That meant the motherload of potato latkes, fried to perfection right there next to the math bulletin board. Though the wonderful morning already seems like months ago, the classroom still smells of bubbling oil. My kids’ parents are awesome at making sure Read more…


And Misc. Birthday Tidbits

Besides a memorable and fancy-pants meal at Blossum, care of The Electrician, I received a sweet and moist chocolate chip cake from my main gals, CandyPenny and Artsparrow. The picture (below) looks quite a mess as my unsteady hand had only the light from the Yankees-Rangers game on the screen to Read more…


The Real-Deal Vegan Brunch

On sunny Sunday, August 1, 2010, I found inspiration in the pages of The Electrician‘s omnivorous cook books as he manually labored in his yard. A proper vegan bunch! Complete with the works: traditional brunch staples, both sweet and savory, served on vintage China and vividly colored fabric with tasty Read more…


The Staff of Life

For the past two years I have made yearbooks to celebrate the turning of time’s speedometer. Fiddling with Blurb‘s bookmaking software in December, I was forced to meditate on just how much I could fill in a week, a month, a year. In 2009, the me in January was lifetimes away Read more…


The Last Day of Spring Break

A week and a half out of the classroom and I was a bit irked I had nothing to show for it in the refrigerator. Realizing the end of my free time was near I rose at the crack of dawn to beat the day mayors to the supermarket and Read more…


Snew / Bone Shaking Brunch

I always thought the past tense of snow ought to be snew. Anyway, New York got hit with its first layer of winter snow this weekend. (Quick aside: Snow makes everyone completely mad; have you ever noticed this?) Venturing out for brunch at Bone Shakers, I got to enjoy the Read more…


A Vegan Omelet Grows in Brooklyn

Before you even see these gorgeous little beasts, let me say a word about this fine piece of rock in my palm: black salt or, in its native Hindi, kala namak. No, black salt isn’t street code for heroin. It’s a special smokey salt. In Vegan Brunch Isa gives this Read more…


Spring Cleaning Tidbits, Part II (Photo version)

The Valentina exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York. I’ve always found fashion to be the most trivial of the arts… but then again I’ve been wearing the same clothes and shoes for at least ten years. Had I been amongst New York’s high society in the Read more…
