A big thank you to whomever put this recipe on Pinterest. All of a sudden, it’s getting a ridiculously crazy amount of views, which is really exciting.
Even more exciting was getting to meet the world’s largest rooster:
Actually, the chickens pretty much ignored me.
The pigs were much friendlier:
I had to make a quick trip to NYC last week, and so I took a side excursion to one of my favorite places: The Catskill Animal Sanctuary, a safe haven for abused, abandoned, and neglected animals.
Other trip highlights so far:
Ginger seitan from Gobo, an Asian fusion restaurant. Normally I’m really not a mock-meat fan. (Prior to this trip I don’t think I’d eaten seitan in over a year, which was perfectly fine by me.) But Gobo’s seitan is amazing.
Soba and veggies from Angelica Kitchen. See that basil pesto sauce on the top? I’m not exactly sure what they put in it to make it taste so good, but I don’t think it’s legal!
Cheesecake!!
I’m a cheesecake snob and have very high standards. A restaurant called Hangawi makes one of the best NYC-style cheesecakes—vegan or otherwise—that I have ever eaten. This time I bought four slices so I can take some home with me to Texas. They are that good.
Link of the Day:
Poptarts!
We’ve been to the gentle barn in cal…so cool
haha, I know I’m not the only one, but I pinned that!
I knew that if I couldn’t stop drooling while looking at it, it would be a big hit with the folks on pinterest (i.e. the majority of the female population).
Your photography has gotten so fantastic lately! I just love these pics from the restaurants you attended – they should hire you as their official food photographer! You’re giving them some excellent publicity 🙂
Love love love your blog and you and just everything here.
Cheers,

Ann Romney may have done it.
Maybe.
Thank you!! I’d have a problem working at Hangawi… The staff would probably get mad at me when all the food photos had bite marks in them ;).
I had to even admit it but *love* poptarts. I haven’t had one in years but the chocolate fudge gets me every time!
Please please please pop tarts!
NY cheesecake in NY….you lucky duck! Would definitely like to see what you’ve got up your sleeve with regards to the pop tart and so would my kids!!
Oh goodness, hard desicion. Cookie dough flavored pop tarts, maybe? Just kidding. I’d have to say cookie dough. I’m a cookie dough fanatic.
I think that’s one of the best ideas I’ve ever heard!
I agree. Please, cookie dough pop tarts!!!
Poptarts!
Poptarts all the way!
Cookie dough!!
I made homemade whole wheat pop tarts the other day. They were delicious!
That rooster is huge!!
I repinned it from here on pinterest, Kendi Everyday. It looks like she was an original pin from your site.
