we're back

[jfb]

NW part of the tour is over. We've still got one show in LA near the end of the month. I won't be reading the LJ backlog from last week.

Best things about the tour:

• spending time with Kate
  
• everything about Portland except Voodoo Doughnut
  
• June Madrona's yurt
  
• Voodoo Doughnut (in Portland), which deserves its own list item

Worst thing about the tour was probably the, you know, tour. Oh well.

Last night we embarked on a two-week vegan experiment (did I mention the vegan pirate restaurant? in Portland?). Actually we'll be "beegans"--we talked it over and we just don't have any compunctions about eating honey. Or bees, I guess, except, gross. Anyway, if anyone has some vegan food tips or recommendations, toss them my way.

I guess the pizza will have Not-zarella and the burrito will have, uh, no cheese.

Like I say, it's an experiment, and I'm not sure we're ready to invest in cookbooks. But I think Kate's goal is to eat less animal product generally after the experiment is over, so I'd like to hear about them.

http://www.theppk.com/ The Post Punk Kitchen. The proprietor of the website has a public access vegan cooking show in Brooklyn. She's got a bunch of recipes online. Oh, I guess Vegan with a Vengeance is by the same person. I fake-knew her through the WeightWatchers vegetarian board, but look, she's also on LJ: http://isachandra.livejournal.com/ . And on it she recommends some independently published vegan cookbooks, which probably aren't at your neighborhood library.

I've also heard a lot of recommendations for the Uncheese cookbook, which someone mentioned already, and also How It All Vegan.
