As I mentioned a couple days ago, I decided to get a Tofurky for Thanksgiving. It turned out better than I expected (granted, my expectations were pretty low). The tiny little 6-serving roast had to jockey for position in an oven full of a giant turkey, dressing, pies, and other stuff, but it managed to […]
We’re moving! Which means… cleaning out the refrigerator. Half-full bottles of syrup, soy sauce, peanut butter, jam, and hot sauce to pawn off on friends or pour down the drain. Dried out stubs of “fresh” ginger to toss out. Flat soda (bought for a houseguest months ago) to finally get rid of.
I have to admit […]
What do my paintings have to do with vegetarianism? Well as it turns out, I’m quite a veg-friendly artist (as one would expect, I suppose, given that I am a vegetarian after all). I mean, I’m no Giuseppe Arcimboldo, but I have painted a couple fruit and veggie paintings in my day (and more than […]
As some of you know, at the beginning of July I swore off grocery shopping except for fresh produce and soy products. This was mainly to help clean out my ever-fuller pantry and use up products before they got too old (yes, folks, even items like dried beans have a shelf life). It has also […]
It has now been over a month since I started my restricted grocery shopping experiment - I’m only allowed to purchase fresh fruits, veggies, and soy products. No dry goods, beverages, etc. I’m surprised to have made it this long.
The pantry is getting emptier and emptier as staples get used up. This week’s hardest loss: […]
Today I met someone for lunch at a Japanese restaurant I’d never been to before in the business district in downtown Zurich. When the waitress brought over the extensive lunch menu, I started my usual scan for vegetarian options only to find… there wasn’t a single one. My dining companion said we could go somewhere […]
I stopped shopping for dry goods at the beginning of July, and surprisingly we haven’t starved to death yet… OK, given how much food we have in the house, it’s not actually that surprising. So far it has actually been kind of fun.
I am happy to report that the shopping strike is beginning to have […]
It’s been a week since I started my no-grocery-stores experiment. I know a week doesn’t sound like long (especially since I went to the farmers’ market in the middle of it to stock up on veggies), but for someone who usually runs into the store 3-4 times a week, it’s already a bit of a […]
Every once in a while, my friend Riana (warning: her blog is not always veg-friendly) goes on a shopping hiatus. She challenges herself to compose meals only from what she can find already in her fridge, freezers, herb garden, and amply-stocked pantry. She can go weeks at a time without shopping.
I can’t quite endeavor to […]
I am often amused at the variety of meats that have been given a vegetarian equivalent. Why there’s even vegetarian haggis! Personally I don’t normally feel the urge to substitute meat-like things into my diet, but I do like trying new (vegetarian) foods.
I’ve lived in Zurich, Switzerland, for about a year and a half now, […]
