1. Favorite non-dairy milk?
I was doing Silk for awhile, but since they've been bought out they aren't using American organic soybeans. Oh, and Trader Joe's is more convenient. I get their unsweetened organic refrigerated one. Which is actually Silk anyways.....
2. What are the top 3 dishes/recipes you are planning to cook?
Braised Cabbage with Seitan, Spicy Black Eyed Peas with Greens, and Spinach Linguine with Pesto.....all tester recipes from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's upcoming weight loss cookbook. So far everything I've made has been fan-freakin-tastic.
3. Topping of choice for popcorn?
Nooch
4. Most disastrous recipe/meal failure?
Seitan.....i can't get that recipe right to save my life....
5. Favorite pickled item?
Beets!!
6. How do you organize your recipes?
Loose recipes? A lot of them are on my Stickies application on the computer, in order of when i made them. Others are written in no particular order in my special (because it's shiny blue with silver shiny stars) recipe notebook.
7. Compost, trash, or garbage disposal?
compost and trash. me and the roomie keep a container in our freezer for compost stuff and so we make a trip down to the composter every few days.
8. If you were stranded on an island and could only bring 3 foods...what would they be (don't worry about how you'll cook them)?
does this include dishes? if so, pad thai woon sen w/tofu and veggies, a big salad, Trader Joe's Cherry Chocolate Chip ice cream
9. Fondest food memory from your childhood?
my mom makes delicious cherry hand pies. they're moonshaped and the crust is a yummy flakey pie crust very lightly dusted with sugar. mmmm....
10. Favorite vegan ice cream?

13. Cookbook you have owned for the longest time?

25. Most extravagant food item purchased lately?
the vegan steak and cheese from DC Vegetarian food cart. it was $5 and i was planning on getting Just Thai because $5 will get me enough food for 3 meals. that sandwich only lasted me one. it was soooooo good though. also, Just Thai was closed due to family emergency and i was starving...
26. Ingredients you are scared to work with?
agar agar, it's kind of a bitch to me
27. Favorite food cart?
so many to choose from these days! i'm looking forward to Julie Hasson's that's opening tomorrow at Mississippi and Skidmore (i think that's the right cross street). Right now my favorite would probably be Just Thai, SW 3rd and Stark.

Yay for surveys! I'll have to do this one tomorrow.
And strawberry freezer jam - omg that stuff is amazing! My MIL makes it, and no other jam or jelly is edible to me after tasting that stuff.
Where do you take your compost? Most of my garbage is food scraps and I live in an apartment with no means of composting. Is there a place in Portland that takes compost?
tahini- i'll be doing a little post on my compost today, so check back for answers!
