been awhile

i'm a bad blogger. school has kept me away. but i'm back now. for yule my dad gave me more cookbooks and a waffle maker.

i will write soon to update you on what is going on. but i can say my sister still hates me.

soy good

sorry i haven't posted, school has been really busy. and sorry i haven't posted pictures yet, my dad promises to fix the camera so we can take pictures.

we bought some soy eggnog today and it was very good, i haven't ever had the real eggnog so I don't actually know what it should taste like. but my dad says the one we picked is exactly the same taste.

i want to make some from scratch thought. we found a recipe for eggnog cupcakes and we are trying to figure out how to make it vegan. if we do and it works we will put the recipe here and take a picture. i promise. roys mom says she has some eggnog recipes somewhere, but if anyone who reads this has vegan eggnog recipes please tell me.

food yummy

my dad has been giving me grocery shopping lessons. he says you have to be very careful when buying certain things because their maybe animal products in it. she showed me that alot of margarines use whey and that not all soy milks are vegan friendly. i picked up some tetra packs of chocolate soy milk and it had whole milk stuff in it. he says it has to have the word vegan on it.

sorry i haven't taken any pictures yet, there is something wrong with the memory card of my dad's camera and he needs to get another one.

so far together we have made from the recipe books:
seitan
banana bread
pizza
mayonaisse
scrambled tofu
cupcakes
soba noodles and seitan

both my mom and sister are even liking it all, but still pretend they don't

um... tonight we are making spicy noodles and tofu, my favourite, but not in the cookbooks.

i also had a fun halloween, dressed up as an evil barbie doll

cook books

my dad and I have been having alot of fun cooking. i didn't know he could cook so good. he know so many ways to cook tofu. last night i came home from school to a surprise. cookbooks and lots of them. he bought all of the sarah kramer books (la dolce vegan, the garden of vegan and how it all vegan) and the books from the cool girls at postpunkkitchen.com (vegan with a vegence and vegan cupcakes take over the world) after school tonight we are making cupcakes!

then on saturday roy and his mom are coming over and we are going to make vegan pizza's. my dad told my mom and sister they were going to eat it with us and not complain. it was good food and good for them. did you know roy and his mom are vegan's too. i talked alot to roy's mom before i decided to become vegan.

we will take pictures and i will post them.

going shopping

Happy Friday the 13th

tomorrow my dad and i are going shopping for stuff we need to cook our vegan meals. my mother keeps insisting that it is a waste of money and time and that we will waste away to nothing. i don't get what she has against it. when dad and i are alone i am going to ask him why he gave it up.

spooks keeps trying to catch his own tail. is really funny to watch

the month of halloween

this is my favourite time of the year. i love halloween. i love it so much that i celebrate it every day of the month.

i have been a vegetarian for a very long time. my mother doesn't understand why i refuse to eat meat. starting october 1 i decided to become vegan. it is driving her crazy because i am asking for soy milk. she keeps saying you will shrivel up if you don't drink milk. my father told her to leave me alone but she said she refuses to buy me my vegan products, my father said fine that i am to give him a grocery list each week and he will get what ever i need.

after a while i heard them arguing and overheard my mother telling my father that he must have told me about his days as a vegan, that is the only way i would know about it. i didn't know my father was vegan. i wonder why he stopped. but it sounds like he did when he married my mother. now i have a secret to figure out.

how i found out about being vegan happened along time ago. i am against animal cruelty and many of the websites i check talk about being vegan. i am old enough to cook my own meals now so i thought this was the best time to start. my father took me aside and told me that not only will he help me prepare meals, he will teach me how and maybe even start eating them with me. latetly i have been discovering that my dad isn't such a jerk.

i also found some really cool websites

the post punk kitchen
sarah kramer
vegan porn (before you freak out it's not what it looks like)
vegan lunchbox (i wish she was my mommy)
recipes from vegan lunch box
vegan society
vegan
isa chandra (from the post punk kitchen)
vegan cupcakes (from the post punk kitchen)
terry hope romero (from the post punk kitchen)
herbivore magazine

Stupid camp...

you must think i am the worst blogger in the world. turns out i'm just really naive. it wasn't just my sister who went to camp, i was tricked into going to. we all drove up together, the extra suitcase should have given it all away, but my sister is selfish and greedy and i just figured she took too much stuff. it wasn't till we got there that they told me i would be staying too.

we got back on sunday. when i checked email all my friends wanted to know why i wasn't emailing for calling them. they thought i was mad. my cat was really mad at me when i got back. he thought i abandoned him. my dad looked after him though and bought him lots and lots of treats. he grew so much since i was gone, he now looks like a grown up cat. he isn't mad anymore. in the basement i found this small neck brace cone looking thing. when i asked my dad what it was he said he got spooks fixed so he wouldn't wander off any more. i don't know what that means.

now that i am back i am going to start adding cool things to my website. i'm knitting lots of stuff. the one good thing i learned at camp. the other think i learned is my sister likes to go behind buildings with boys and if she does anything mean to mean i told her i will tell mom. blackmail is good.

it took me a while but i finally got caught up on stuff. check out this cool podcast www.shebytchespodcasts.blogspot.com. maybe i will do podcasts too.

my dad feels bad that my mom talked him into leaving me at camp. we are going shopping for books, comic books and anything else i want. and he gave me an itunes card so i can download stuff. i didn't use to like my dad very much but lately he is trying to be cool. i think he feels bad when my sister and mom pick on me.

i have to call roy, he wants to know about camp!
