This post was inspired by a photo message that I recieved from the one and only Tastebetter.



EB, Earth balance, it is a buttery-like vegan spread that has made its way into the hearts and thighs of vegans everywhere. Well they have decided to put out a mix of butter and EB. 100% of the cruelty with only half the fat.


WTF!

Go Vegan, Stay Vegan or Kiss Off

I'm typically a balanced person. Sure I get irritated by asshatery just like the next person. I don't know when I became "that vegan" it could have happened over night I suppose. When I refer to "that vegan" I mean the vegan that accepts nothing less than veganism. That vegan who will tell you to get lost if you start in on how much you "love, love, love cheese." That Vegan who will bitch you out if you think for a minute that I will bestow upon you compassionate absolution when you confess to eating something OT VEGAN. Go fuck yourself seriously. A Koz does not have time for that shit.

Finally, Foodstuffs

After several days of standing in my kitchen and having a choice between powdered sugar or corn meal for dinner, I forced myself to the grocery store. I picked up some of the staples for a vegan pantry, hummus,carrots, romaine lettuce,oats. I also picked up some PeanutButter Panda Puffs which is one of my fave cereals of late.

Falafel its what’s for dinner?

I took this picture last night before I dove in to the delight that is falafel.





Falafel how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

You . . .

1. have a crispy crunchy exterior
2. are flavorful
3. have a great iron content
4. Round, round food is awesome.

Burn, Baby, Burn Cupcake Inferno

Saturday, after a late lunch of Chinese at NorthPark, my roommate,her friend Kris and I went to the DMA to view the J.M.W. Turner exhibit. When I wasn't running away from the rambling voices of pseudo Art Historians I enjoyed most of the works. I really loved the "burning room" which was a collection of works exploring fire.

I avoided what could have been a shit storm. My mum called me while en route to our apartment. I must have mentioned Friday's incident with the pizza with the possible butter definite cheese. Kris said " butter doesn't hurt cows." and my roommate said, "where does butter come from?" I really was not in the mood. I tolerate Kris because she is my friend's friend but I know things would be very different if I didn't have to maintain a good disposition. I have almost nothing in common with this person she is religous and just purchased a dog for $1200. Ummm yeah no cupcake for you missy.

Afterwards I retired to my apartment for the evening and whipped up a batch of chocolate cupcakes with peanutbutter frosting in honor of my roommates 28th B-Day. I was in pure sugar heaven. The recipie is from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.

They were loved by my roommate and my friend R who I lured over to my digs for some sweet kozmic sugar.
