<-- currently reading. second chapter and i'm already addicted. it's about a socialite named grady, living in a flat in new york city. i really like it. (: as i read this book, it's making me think of how fast summer has passed by and how little i've done in that time. no summer homework, not enough...
I have a lot of good qualities! At least, that's what twenty-two years of after school specials have lead me to believe. I'm not racist, I don't steal from the elderly, I stay away from the (bad) drugs, and I like to recycle even when it's the most inconvenient thing in the world. Seriously. Just...
Time really flies. It's the middle of July now. I haven't been blogging much lately. I have a very good excuse this time. I was transitioning to Ubuntu Hardy (a very popular Linux distro) in the past two weeks. I was really busy configuring my system, getting our wireless network to work, and...
A couple of days ago, I blogged about Kyle Payne and male feminists. One of my main points was that, by poking around and reading some of Payne's writing, I felt that it was not surprising that someone who wrote that way would turn out to be an abusive individual. When someone becomes an ally of a...
Some critics of vegetarianism and veganism say that veg*ns care more about animals than they do about human beings. I think that vegansim shows compassion for animals as well as human beings, and in this video I explain why.
The title says it all... I know I said it many times before, but this time it's not a choice any more. I've indulged myself enough and it's time to have some real discipline. Summer is here, for God's sake! This is a very easy stirfry dish. Fresh garlic and fresh amaranth stirfried in canola oil....
My friend Charlene came over today and we made sushi together. Neither of us had ever made sushi before, and it took TONS of trial and error to be able to roll them up and cut them successfully. All in all it was a fun adventure though. Here is a photo of my beautiful homemade hand roll in progress....
So I finally got some more pics back from my Holga. Here's one that I like: The rest of the batch can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/taichicheetah/ Also, I bought a couple of books today: I didn't think I'd ever read Skinny Bitch because I pretty much knew what it was about, but I'm really...
This is the best bread I've made out of my bread machine. I must confess that I haven't used it that much. It's still a new bread machine. But this 50% whole wheat bread is so doughy and fluffy that we can hardly believe the result. So here's the bread machine recipe. 2/3 cup unsweetened soy milk 2...
Oh, where did I go? I don't know how I just don't seem to have enough time to blog more often nowadays. I gotta quit the fast lane, as soon as possible, for my sanity. The good news is that we will have our long vacation very soon, in August. I didn't cook much, but I did conjure up a new vegetable...
Yay! I finally got the time and courage to make the "official" ratatouille (recipe by Thomas Keller) in the movie Ratatouille. Boy, it was worth hours of roasting vegetables in heat. It was the most tasty ratatouille I've had so far! And it looked so darn pretty! This is the vegan version of Ann...
I don't really have time to write a post now but I do have some food porn to share. So let's get down to business immediately. The first thing is Jamie Oliver's Asparagus, Mint and Lemon Risotto with Fresh Fava Beans. I found the recipe in Lisa's Vegetarian Kitchen. I replaced dry white wine with...
I tried out a very simple yet ultra-yummy recipe of Nava Atlas - Stewed Tofu with Corn and Tomatoes. I've always enjoyed Nava's recipes because they are simple, straightforward and often involve a balanced and tasty combination of commonly-used ingredients. No fancy schmancy, and no fuss....
In a desperate search for a green-heavy meal option, I dug out a really valuable recipe - Spring Green Quinoa - by Susan Voisin of Fatfree Vegan Kitchen that I had saved recently. I was so glad that I could kill two birds with one stone this time: a) I bought some fresh edamame, lots of asparagus...
When I first saw this wonderful dish on Elly's blog, I knew that I had to give it a go, very soon. Roasted zucchini and tomatoes, creamy jasmine rice, and au gratin, what more can a man ask for? Nothing more! Oh, maybe a slice of blueberry cheesecake afterwards, but let's not get into that now. My...
So I've come to realize... that the sheer number of ridiculous ideas Phil and I are pursuing at any given time is remarkable. There are a number that are either too odd to recount or too hard to remember at the moment, but here are the first three that come to mind. - We spent the first 3 months of...
Purplesque has already made the mini crustless tofu quiches. I bookmarked the recipe by Susan Voisin of Fatfree Vegan Kitchen more than half a year ago but, things happen, and blah blah blah. But Purplesque's photo put me over the top. And I actually had all the ingredients at hand, including time...
I went to Purplesque's blog and got myself all hungry looking at her food porn. And it almost seems like I was often waiting for her food photos to be uploaded so that I could make another banner and make myself even more hungry staring at the banner. I took a photo of the tree right outside our...
This is the first time that I have attempted to make savory pancakes. My husband said that it was about time (about a year after I began making my own vegan pancakes). We were both very pleased with the first batch of savory pancakes. I still find it hard to believe that I never wanted to make...
i have this new thing with having really spontaneous and dumb subject lines. yesterday my entry was titled 'grape juice' cos that's what i happened to be drinking at the time. today it is 'pound' because of the wonderful soundspell song i'm currently listening to, but i'm actually in a big stage of...
