Passover is upon us, and Monday I'll be on Leonard Lopate for a brief segment discussing vegan matzoh ball soup. Listen on WNYC sometime after noon. I'm not sure exactly when I'll be on.
In the meantime, brush up on your matzoh ball skills by watching the PPK Passover episode.
And check out Heeb'n Vegan, I sent Michael some Passover recipes that haven't been posted yet but should be up shortly.
This email has been going around. I don't know what “shelf space” means but it sounds like losing it would be a bad thing.
“EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP.
TEMPTATION WILL BE GONE FROM THE MIDWEST IF YOU DON'T HELP US THIS WEEK.
We are going to lose our shelfspace in the midwest region of Whole Foods
UNLESS:
#1. GO BUY SOME ASAP, because this might be the last time you can. Pints are going for only $2.37 because it is being discontinued. Vote for us with your pocketbook.
#2: Call the Midwest Regional Whole Foods Market office at 773.755.1500: Be nice and let them know you love Temptation and want to buy it all summer long! Vote for us with your Voice!
#3: Find your LOCAL Whole Foods store and tell the manager you want us on the shelf! (Find your local store here: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/index.html)
#4: TELL SOMEONE ABOUT US. Have them contact Whole Foods. We are a special vegan company… a)ONLY one made on vegan equipment. b)ONLY ones using Fair Trade Certified ingredients c)ONLY ones supporting the local grassroots animal rights activists d)WAY FREAKING MORE VEGAN THAN OTHER BRANDS!!!
Whole Foods Market has been a great friend in our efforts to bring a unique 100% vegan ice cream to customers in the Midwest. Lower sales in the entire category have forced all brands into a smaller amount of freezer space, and we are going to suffer. It's not easy to run a company ethically and entirely vegan. The other products are all made at dairies and we don't think that's too cool.
If we, somehow, manage to maintain our shelf space, you can trust we'll have the MOST INSANE SUMMER PARTY YET… WITH PLENTY OF FREE ICE CREAM! BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW! THIS WEEK! TODAY! (VOTE EARLY, VOTE OFTEN.. TRUE CHICAGO STYLE)
Otherwise, keep fighting the good fight… but it's not over. We can get this shelf space back, but it's in your hands. Please, please… make a call, buy a pint… or we're gone in the Midwest (Our home).
(Product is still available at independent health food stores and Whole Foods Market in OTHER regions, and soon WHOLE FOODS MID-ATLANTIC)
From the bottom of our hearts… Thanks for your help.
-Ryan and Dan
Chicago Soydairy / Temptation VEGAN ice cream.”
I'll be cooking brunch in the belly of Brooklyn for the bellies of Brooklyn, this Sunday 4/1 at Vox Pop Cafe on Cortelyou Road. Please show up and meet other vegans and listen to my Ipod. It should be lots of fun or at least less miserable than where ever else you might have brunch.
You'll have a choice of Lemon Corn Waffles with Blueberry Sauce, fresh fruit and soy (or rice) yogurt or a Breakfast Burrito filled with Scrambled Tofu, Homefries, Tempeh Bacon with Guac and Salsa on the side. All for a measly 8 bucks. Get there between 11 am and 1 pm, stay as long as you like. And take a walk through Prospect Park afterwards to do some bird watching. It's migration season!
Maybe you'll see a Bufflehead Duck in the park, bufflehead.
Directions by car: From downtown Manhattan use the Brooklyn Bridge or Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the BQE West (in the direction of the Verrazano Bridge) Take the BQE to the Prospect Expressway Exit. (Rt. 27 East) Take the Prospect to the end which turns into Ocean Parkway. Continue straight onto Ocean Parkway to the fourth light which is Cortelyou Road, (Ave. C is the last light before Cortelyou ). Turn left at Cortelyou and go to the end ( about 4 blocks ) to Coney Island Ave. Turn left onto Coney Island Ave and then an immediate right back onto Cortelyou. Vox Pop is on the first corner on the right at Stratford Road.
Subway: Q or F trains. Take the Q train to Cortelyou, take a left out of the station, walk four blocks, you'll run into us, corner of Stratford and Cortelyou. OR take the F train to Ditmas (@MacDonald Ave.), walk one block north to Cortelyou and take a right. Heading east on Cortelyou, walk nine blocks to Coney Island Ave. Cross the avenue (it's a staggered intersection) take a quick left then quick right. Vox Pop will be on your right at the corner of Stratford.
The Q line is less of a walk. If you get lost, call us! 718 940 2084.
I never actually went to Down To Earth, only because I am wanted in Jersey for crimes I didn't commit. But my Jersey peeps raved about this place and were really sad to see them close their doors a few months ago. Now you can bring a little slice of Jersey right to your home with the Down To Earth cookbook!
Veganfriendly has a cute new redesign!
