So.. it has been quite awhile since my last post. I had to take a bit of a break due to some health concerns, which of course were presumed to be the result of my vegan diet.. but alas many tests have proved my doctor and concerned family members wrong.
I will be soon be embarking on a great adventure across Europe and promise to journal my experience and post it up on here. Traveling with non-vegans (one unwilling to compromise her meat-eating ways) may prove to be tricky. I'm eager to discover how easy it is to find animal-free food while visiting 9 different countries and will have a full report to share upon my return. I have been accepted into a BA program at Central St Martins in London (UK) for Sept 08 and am quite excited to relocate to that scene.
Other news: I received a bread machine for Christmas and have been making and devouring french loaves like it's going out of style. I've also been making some succulent vegan pizzas with homemade dough. That is all i've pretty much subsisted on lately.
Since moving home to good old Bracebridge in order to save up funds for my $20G tuition and trip, i've had to make several sacrifices in vegan convenience food. We have one health food store, which is pretty incredible for its size, however it is lacking in meltable cheese. I have been sprinkling nutritional yeast and vegan parm on my pizzas and can honestly say it is just as satisfying.
More about pizza... my brother who makes the best pizza I have ever tasted and is unwilling to share his secret... inspired me to add herbs to my crust (oregano, basil and red pepper flakes) and it really makes all the difference. Another of his tricks is using Classico Spicy Red Pepper pasta sauce for his pizza.
