Feed Me Portland!

Southern Spaghetti with Seitan and Smokey Greens paired with an Australian merlot We’ve yet to see this side of James Ford, but I know it’s there.  There is one dish in this LOST character’s romancing-and-swindling-the-ladies repertoire, and this is it. Smokey greens for three reasons: the name, of cours

Flowers Restaurant, Seattle once again, I’m back after a bit out of town.  this time, it was for a few days in Seattle.  while I was there, I decided my next realistic dream job involves frequent travel and keeping Portland as my home base.  I certainly can’t afford to travel recreationally as much as I&#

These are almost offensively non-traditional, but I’m proud, all the same. Since returning from vacation, I’ve been feasting on a few magnificent, toasted bagels, all the while, being briefly haunted by another traditional food from my New York heritage – knishes.  I have really fond memories of my very

Heck yes, vegan sushi at the airport! Outside of overpriced chips and desperate, packaged Alternative Baking Co cookies, the only thing I’m consuming at an airport may be a glass of wine or cup of herbal tea before my flight. On our way back to Portland last week, Millie and I perused the normal food stands at [...]

I’m officially back from a one week vacation to Boston and New York with my friend Millie. I’m a little bummed it didn’t snow, but I had swell times, so I’ll live. Expect a bajillion photos next week.  For now, let me say that the most awesome things I sampled on vacation were a variety [...]

Hugo Reyes Approved! (I wish.  But I do figure him for the open minded type - Jorge, the actor, has given love to Sweet & Sara marshmallows on his blog!) Mr. Cluck’s Outback Roaster Tofu, served with grilled asparagus, since it’s in season in Australia*. Up to date on LOST?  In case you freakishly have

I joke that I have reverse seasonal depression. I don’t drive, and don’t get to see REAL snow much in Portland, OR, the adopted city I love dearly. As of 7 minutes ago, I’m officially on a one week vacation and flying out with my friend Millie to Boston, MA and NYC to see family, friends, [...]

This pate is from The Urban Vegan by Dynise Baclavage, a book I’m slowly but surely, making a regular resource in my kitchen.  It’s simple and sherry-tacular and fancy. Sherry Infused Mushroom Pate Additional pecans sprinkled on top. Do you like savoury dips?  Do you like pecans, olive oil, and mushrooms?  

Warning: Simply put – don’t read this if you’re just starting LOST. It’s a wonder what one can do with their emergency powdered soymilk and stash of nutritional yeast. I’m glad I always travel prepared, just in case my fate is to crash on a mysterious island that cures my woes and never stops

Starting with a Stumptown… So, I’m on day 3 of a brief coffee detox.  I had a major caffeine/sugar crash after attending a killer vegan candy party, and then recording and experiencing the  Stumptown Vegans local chocolate review, all within a 24 hour period.  I let Sahagun’s revolutionary Stumptown c
