Veggieburgeled!
Happy Saturday!
First of all, a big thank you to everyone who made it out the Synesthete’s Bunch earlier today. I loved cooking for ya’ll and hope you enjoyed the show, the ambiance and the food. For those of you who missed it, it was hard to describe - sort of like dining in one of those cheesy/luxe jewelry boxes with a spinning ballerina, but the ballerina was a handsome young man with a strawberry oil-cloth apron and the music was tinkles and wails and sitars and the walls looked like an Applebee’s art collection curated by Dr. Seuss. We’ll do it again soon, but right now I’m very very tired.
Stay tuned for photos and recipes later this week.
The following photos are a week late, seven bucks short, and have very little to do with vegetarian recipes. Here’s my half-hearted tie-in: I dressed as the “Veggieburgler” to promote vegetarianism at the Idiotarod.
One conversation I had went something like this:
Guy Dressed in Green: Hey, you’re the Hamburgler!
Me: (Showing him the detail on my tie that said “Soy Power”) Well, actually, I’m the Veggieburgler.
Guy: Oh. (pause) I’m a snake!
A cold Fry Guy and the Veggieburgler
People were pretty tickled to see someone wearing a giant hamburger on their head and though we didn’t win we got a shout out from the judges here, though they incorrectly identifed us from being from DC (only Ronald, Grimace, and the cart are DC based.)
Enjoy.

just nuts! I stumbled across your website a few hours ago when I was looking for a recipe for celery root (or was it wheat berries?). Now I found it again, this time looking for the idiotarod.
There had been talk about having a vegan hot dog eating contest at the finish line (I’m on team Cobra), but I just never got around to doing it. Maybe next year.

Funny! Yeah veggieburgler. What a fun way to promote even if you do meet a few snakes along the way.

Hey jd, very funny! I’m honored to be the place where wheat berries and the Idiotarod collide. good messy heathy fun.
Keep me posted on the veggie dog eating contest. I doubt I’d win that either, but i’d sure enjoy trying
Dori - it was a dangerous job but someone had to do it
I ended up with hair full of jello and a shoulder that was whapped with a very very smelly dead fish.

Did you make the veggieburglar costume yourself? It’s awesome!
