Ahhhhhh. Do you hear that? It’s the sound of I, the midwest vaygun, having a peaceful morning in my jammies, drinking chai and thinking about food. not school, not money, just food. it’s amazing. I dropped out of school last week to put the focus back on the things that really matter in life, and i couldn’t be happier. We have alot of cathcing up to do, blog and I. so here’s the shake down: Thanksgiving was rad! I made Todd X’s vegan pecan pie! and it was heavenly. I also made my own version of seitan roulade, with mixed results (i will tackle this another day). and i had the BEST green bean casserole of my life, thanks to my sis becca. the majority of the pics are from a shitty camera phone so i left most of them out.
Also, i became re-acquainted with The HardTimes Cafe, why did i forget about thee for so long!? the entire menu is vegan/vegetarian with a huge mexican section, and probably the best biscuits and gravy i’ve had in awhile. They are open super late too, so now i know where the after bar sugar fix is coming from:)
And before i forget, the Triple Rock now has vegan cupcakes from Miel Y Leche! so good!
here’s what i’ve been up to food-wise since my last visit, so enjoy!
