TV Turnoff Week

I’ll explain more later, for now check out the official TV Turnoff Week website.

Update: I uploaded some pictures.

Pizza in the sky

I was wandering through the web when I happened upon this post about baskets and ropes.

It reminded me of this pizza place my friends ate at quite a bit when I was living in Havana. If I remember correctly, it was right next to the University, and I think they called it ‘pizza in the sky.’ I never got to partake, being vegan and all (btw: I don’t recommend Cuba as a vegan friendly travel destination).

Now I’ve been doing some thinking. My apartment window looks out over Hemenway St. here in Boston. If you know the area, you’ll know that just a block up the street is ‘Little Stevies’ the shadiest late night pizza spot in town. Well they’ve got some competition now. My prime location, combined with a pizza stone, my Red Boy experience, and some clever vegan know how…add up to quite a joint. Plus, I’ve got an inside source for all the recipes at veggie planet.

So here’s how it works:

1. You paypal me some money.
2. I recieve your order, and start making the pizza
3. You stand around on Hemenway St., below my window.
4. When the pizza is ready, I’ll just send her down in a basket (on a rope).

Oh, and if I’m not home when you make your order…well…tough.

Vegan Recipes in a WIKI

Living in a small studio has taught me that space is a very precious thing. Combine this with my general distaste for dead trees, and you’ll see that cookbooks just aren’t very compatible with my current living situation. Right. If you remember, the previous slowchildren.com had a vegan recipe database. No one ever used it.

Enter the Vegan Recipe Wiki:

I found a vegan recipe wiki. It’s pretty empty, though not as empty as the slowchildren one once was.

If you look down the list a ways, you might notice that I added Macaroni & Nutritional Yeast. This is the definitive recipe, given to me by Laurel, who was emailed this recipe by the now legendary brewer of vegan marshmallows.

Why am I mentioning all this? Because I think you guys should help me fill this recipe book with good food. You’ll notice that it’s missing vegan “Lomo Saltado”. Eh?
