Please excuse this interruption from the regularly scheduled Get Sconed! brand of vegan-food-obsessed posts for an artistic glance at the girl behind it all. Can you believe I'm doing this?  Really, I've had a few photos I've almost added now and then and held back because this blog is about food,...

Bird's Nest with added Roasted Gluten from Nhut Quang.   I wish this place was closer to me!   Why must I live near the other vegan Vietnamese restaurant, gosh?  Photo by Aaron. At home. The story of the first time I tried making seitan is on par with the infamous seitan as brains tragedy.   I...

Of today's MoFo post. I did technically post something today, but it was to Stumptown Vegans. You can check out the new review of the I Love Thai Food cart downtown here.

Chocolate Mint Ice Box Cookies - a test recipe for the upcoming PPK Cookie book by Terry Romero and Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Now that I have your attention.... Hey MoFos! I made a survey! Basically, I had time on my hands and haven't purchased a new USB cord yet.  I'll get on that. What was the most ...

After my normal no-blogging weekend, I returned to the internet without my USB cord, oops!   I know I have such great photos of my brother, my friends and my adventures at the Portland Nursery's Apple Festival and Tasting, Hoda's, happenings at the vegan mini mall, the last day of milkshakes at Sip...
