Would anybody care to join me in a discussion regarding the goddess also known as Isa Chandra Moskowitz?
-
What are some good starter recipes from her repetoire?
-
starter meaning you’re less of an experienced chef, or starter as in ‘the best things ever that you must try first’?
-
Both! I can follow a recipe with tasty results as long as it’s not overly complicated.
-
-
-
Veganomicon is such a great book. Isa is friends with lots of my friends but I don’t think she likes me…but she has good recipes.
-
I have her vegan cookies cookbook and made the black and white cookies with some friends months ago, people still rave about them. Best ever.
-
I don’t have that book yet…. which makes me really sad. I love the chewy chocolate raspberry cookies… I think they’re in Veganomicon, but maybe it’s Vegan with a Vengeance… They’re the quickest to just whip up when you’ve got a cookie craving.
-
-
I love her vegan cookbook! She has the BEST recipe for vegan pancakes, my gluttenous little heart was so happy when I found it.

I’ve been snowboarding for years now, but just recently got back into longboarding. Are there any other girls who ride out there?
-
I’ve snowboarding since I was around 13
-
I started then too :) What’s your home mountain?
-
Mt. Hood in Oregon.
-
-
-
That was when I started myself :] I’ve only ever gotten to snowboard in California [Tahoe, Mammoth, and Big Bear] and Idaho [Sun Valley – Bald Mountain’s my all time favorite] Do you get any good powder on Mt. Hood?
-
You don’t see powder as often on Hood, deep powder tends to completely flummox me because I’m not used to it
-
Lol, even if you ARE used to it, if you get in too deep there’s not much you can do except flop over :P
The trick is to keep ur weight more towards the back of the board, and bring the nose up and down [more up than down] and you stay on top of it. If you get into a good rhythm, it’s pretty awesome, like you’re riding on clouds :3-
I miss it, I’m living in Florida at the moment, and I can’t take off work very much…sooo my boarding is currently of the wake-type when I can convince my friend who has a boat to go out.

I’ve always wanted to food blog, and I just started a vegetarian (but probably mostly vegan as well) blog on Tumblr.

Does anyone have any advice about going out to eat with a group of people when you’re vegan? I haven’t really had this problem a lot because I’m homeschooled and don’t go out much, but I’m going off to college next year and will hopefully have real friends.
I always feel like a pain because I hate salad and a lot of other places don’t have good…[Read more]-
Salad is usually horrible, agreed! I don’t know where you’re based, but Indian(/Pakistani/Bangladeshi) restaurants in UK often have veggie curries, which, unless they use ghee, should be vegan.
East Asian places (e.g. Wagamama’s) should also be quite a good bet, since they don’t often use dairy. Wagamama’s has a folder of allergy etc advice,…[Read more] -
Memorize which restaurants in the area have vegan stuff so when someone wants to go out to eat you can suggest some places right off the bat. Accept that you might be eating plain salad sometimes, or just get a drink and eat beforehand, and talk a little about how you’re vegan and hopefully if your new friends are nice they’ll make sure you’re…[Read more]
-
I only ever eat Asian food (chinese, thai, indian, japanese). This solves everything. Or alternatively look on happycow.com or urbanspoon.com or eatability.com for veg-friendly restaurants.
-
Thanks for the advice everyone! I’ll definitely try to find out some good vegan spots to eat beforehand…and check out those websites, too. :)
-
-
Mediterranean food can be pretty vegetarian friendly as well. Also, a lot of college towns have a large enough vegetarian population to support a vegetarian restaurant or two, so you might look into that option as well. I did my undergrad at University of Wyoming and even they had a veggie restaurant, and that town didn’t even have a place to…[Read more]

Okay girls (and boys! Are there boys? Hi!):
Do any of you camp? I’m going into the woods for two weeks with a bunch of students, and I’ve never really done vegetarian camping. Esp since I have to prepare meat-foods for my students. I haven’t cooked meat in a while… argh.
Since I won’t have fresh veggies or anything, what do you recommend…[Read more]
-
I’ve seen several different brands of single-serve shelf-stable hummus, would that do? My go-to when hiking is hummus, crackers, and raisins.
-
ok i do alot of veggie camping and have several go tos i use. though i’m not quite sure since you wont have fresh veggies (is that because of a backpack space thing?) assuming you will have access to fire and a pan i dice all the veggies up prior to leaving. make a container of tofu scramble, premade blk bean burgers, chopped root vegetables to…[Read more]

oh and chili! all u need is a pot and cans of beans and tomatoes and some prediced peppers. probably a good meal for one of the nights you are close to the car

I’m running out of ways to eat vegetables besides in a salad. What the hell else can I do with them?? (I’ve been a vegan for 6 months.)
-
I do try that but my problem is that I am so bad at cooking that I don’t know what seasonings to use to get the desired taste. (Say if I was in the mood for Indian…)
And… I think I may be the only lesbian in the world that doesn’t like hummus. I should try your stir-fry idea tonight! Because god if I eat one more salad. -
you can buy loads of premade sauces in the supermarket or asian supermarkets.
I eat burgers with a veggie pattie, curries (thai, indian and japanese), casseroles, pasta, stir-fries, sushi, wraps.
I’d recommend looking up recipies online, that way you can follow them to the Tee, until you can work out things for yourself.

Roasting them or grilling them is yum.
Put them in a stew or soup or gazpacho in the summer when it’s freakishly hot.
Steam them with a little bit of salt, garlic, mustard seeds, butter, or really anything else. I like everything with curry.
Stir frying is delicious.
Put them between bread and eat them as a sammich. Gotta love sammiches.
Or,…[Read more]-
I’ll try all of these suggestions. Thanks!
