Wintery Mix

Guys. My winter has been, as the Republican Party might say, “off the hook.”  I’ve been doing a lot of traveling; LA, Chicago, NYC. Right now I am chilling at my mom’s on the Upper East Side, eating as many bagels as I can get my hands on. It’s funny the things you miss when you’re away from home. I did not rush to my favorite restaurant, Candle 79, but god help the poor shmuck who stood between me and my everything bagel. This weekend we set sail for that vegan cruise thingy so let’s just see if 7 days of sunshine and vegan cupcakes can stop my mom and me from fighting.

So I’m just gonna go through my FlickR and throw some stuff at you.

This is Pizza from the Pizza Research Insitute in Eugene OR. Girlfriend, it was good. Homemade smoky vegan cheese sauce, lots of veggies and…peaches!

This is Blythe breezing bye, hurrying up to serve delicious vegan ice cream to the masses at Lula’s in NYC.

Terry eating said ice cream. Hell yes in the dead of winter!

What’s this? You don’t say? The final cover for Vegan Brunch? It couldn’t be!

I’m developing recipes for Natural Health magazine, this one is Grilled Tamarind Eggplant.  It’s going to be for the July issue, so watch for it.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Snickerdoodles, for the forthcoming cookie book. These are ok, but only if you like ridiculously delicious things.

And finally, the pile of cats that I can not wait to get home to.

I’ll be at Vegan Drinks tonight if anyone would like to give me a bon voyage wedgie or anything. See you in a few weeks!

    “Come on, who else reads that cover as “Ass Omelets”?”-walrus

    I did! Who came up with the idea of putting that on the cover??? I think that’s reason #103 to buy the brunch book.

  26. Sarah Says:

    Hi! My husband and I just discovered your Veganomicon book. I’ve only looked through it once so far and I loved what I saw. I can’t wait to try some of the recipes and I really enjoyed your humor. Thank you for writing it! Aloha, Sarah

  27. Marie Says:

    I like ridiculously delicious things. That is a fact!

    If I could stand rain, I would move to Portland. Wow, that pizza looks really good.

    I’m excited about the upcoming cookie book! Do tell!

    Yummmy

  30. Desdemona Says:

    Because I am a really mature, sophisticated person, I, too, erupted in giggles at the phrase “asparagus omelets” RIGHT ON THE COVER OF YOUR NEW BOOK, ISA! For shame: now they’ll have to sell it in a plain brown wrapper!

  31. KathrynGrace Says:

    cookie book? cookiecookiecookiecookiebook?? Oh. I. Can’t. Wait.

    Hooray for Oregon. Your cats are ridiculously cute.
