i have a serious brain disease. please bring me a cat.
For Kevin’s birthday, we staged a (mostly) vegan invasion of Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint. If you don’t know, Maddio’s carries Daiya, had tofu as a topping and the whole wheat crust is vegan. It’s also inexpensive. This pizza, a beer and a soda was around $22.
Alison brought this old pic of John & Kevin. WTH, who is that guy?
After pizza, we headed to NOT secret bowling at Suburban Lanes. And we closed the place down getting our money’s worth for the all you can bowl for $5.99 special.
Oh, look, we’re having another Game of Thrones cookout. Not a damn thing wrong with that. Since it was the day before Kevin’s birthday, I whipped out a cake for dessert. But not just any cake, a zebra cake! You won’t believe how easy it is to do. Just use your favorite vegan vanilla and chocolate cake batters and follow these instructions for pouring them in the pans.
Here are mine ready to bake.
All frosted up in chocolate.
And look at the insides!
Now I want to do them with all kinds of colors. Imagine a rainbow!
We didn’t just have dessert. There was real food too. This time I had a hot dog with home made cheezy sauce, avocado, pickles and who knows what else, tots and mac & cheeze.
We might’ve been lacking a bit of vegetable this time around. But we got over it.
Thanks to everyone that braved the Inman Park Festival crowds and came out for the Atlanta Vegan Bake Sale 2012. It raised over $700 towards this Fall’s Atlanta Veg Fest! And now I’ll show you what you missed so you won’t miss next year’s. I don’t have a picture of the Hello Kitty ice cream sandwich cookies with home made ice cream that Star made, but they definitely need to be mentioned.
For this Game of Thrones watching party, Jeff fired up the grill. I choose the Gardein burger because I hadn’t had it before. Really “meaty.” Probably the closest in texture to real meat that I’ve had. Although how would I know at this point, really. It’s been at least 16 years since I’ve had meat.
Simon made a poblano potato salad which was delicious, we brought a cabbage crunch salad, Jeff made tots and a toppings bar and Star made mac & cheeze. We make it so hard not to over eat with all these goodies.
And I didn’t help that situation at all by making a cheesecake for dessert.
Time for a little lunch at Lee’s Bakery. We hadn’t tried their spring rolls yet, so got an order of them. Tofu, noodles and fresh basil wrapped in rice paper with a peanut dipping sauce. They could’ve used a little more fresh herb inside the rolls but I forgot about that once I shoved it into the bowl of sauce.
Their soup is good, but I was really craving a banh mi, and needed a whole one, not half. We didn’t bring vegan mayo with us this time, so it was lacking that, but it really didn’t make a huge difference. Still tasty.
