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. I want to make some for my sister. We used to watch gilmore girls, so we thought poptarts are super cool and super american. But they are so expensive here in germany.
Beautiful piggy!
COOKIE DOUGH, I’m not a huge fan of pop tarts…
I’ve been wanting a poptart recipe from you for ages!!! Pleeeeeaaaasssse 😀
Poptarts for this girl please!!!
Your visit looks lovely <3 We rescued some battery hens recently, and now we have three chooks living in our back garden. It's wonderful seeing them begin to recover, grow their feathers back, and learning that people can be good things (like bringers of corn). Well done for visiting the Sanctuary, it's great that you support these places, and that you post about visiting 🙂
I just wish I could do more. Thank you for opening your home (and your heart) to the rescue hens!
Just wanted to add another vote for Pop Tarts!
Loved Hangawi when we ate there last year. Didn’t know about the cheesecake but will put it on the must-try list when we go again in April. Thanks for the tip!
POP TARTS!!!! YES YES YES! every day at lunch, i’m surrounded by people eating pop tarts and all that junk. The temptation to indulge in pop tarts is usually present, so to have a healthy pop tart recipe would be awesome!
Pop tarts for sure! I told my boyfriend about the possibility of them and he is *really* excited for tomorrow.
One of my earliest memories was at the Catskill Game Farm, which I believe is closed now. I was 3, planted myself on a bench with a goat I named Willie, and refused to move again until it was time to go. He just lay with his head in my lap while I pet him (there’s photographic evidence of this, even).
I love Pop Tarts brand brown sugar and cinnamon poptarts! I would love a recipe for a healthier version!!! Yes please!
pop tarts please! i’ve never seen a healthy pop tart before!
I know this is not one of your choices but have you ever concidered making a healthifed vegan egg nog? Out of those two though I would have to say cookie dough!
