vegan mofo, day 20: back in dallas.

i'm finally home after a loooong uncomfortable car ride. oh, how i love texas. seriously, i could never live anywhere else. louisiana was fun, though. the highlight of the weekend was going to crowley's rice festival where they had almost every meat on a stick--steak, chicken, fish, shrimp, alligator, crocodile. by the way, i have eaten both alligator and crocodile (pre-veg obviously!) while on other louisiana family trips and actually they were pretty good. ha!

i have no food pictures, but the only interesting thing i can think of anyway that i ate was a muffuleta-like veggie sandwich. lafayette is, unfortunately, not so veg-friendly.

oh, and good news--the date for my history midterm got extended and i only (pfft) have 3 chapters left to read, and my research paper is due later than i thought!

snickerdoodles are a good cure for post car-trip crankiness.



recipe from vegan cookies. i subbed 1/3 cup brown sugar for some of the white. they were too sticky to roll in the cinnamon-sugar mix like the recipe calls for, which probably also contributed to their texture being a little off. but wow were they tasty.

by the way, thanks everyone who tried and liked my banana bread. i think i will call it my plain banana bread. ha!

i will get back to commenting everyone's blogs tomorrow. i'm seriously due for a good gilmore girls marathon ;)

Snickerdoodles are my favorite cookies ever! I love them so! And I'm still laughing (in a sad way) about all that meat on a stick...soon it'll be genetically created to come with a stick I fear!

Did someone mention Gilmore Girls. My daughter has gotten me hooked on that show. If there were a Star Trek marathon v. Gilmore Girls, I do not know what I would do.

I made a second batch of your banana bread, but we added a half a stick of butter, and that did it for us. But I still love the fact that I went from a recipe my mother gave me years ago(1 pound of butter) to just 1/2 a stick.

I love banana bread. I said that already...didn't I?
