My girlfriend and I are going vegan and all-around substance free for the month of February. To kick off the month, we decided to have a goodbye party for the proscribed items. So I made a roasted red pepper cream sauce to cover some fettucine, and toasted kalamata ciabatta bread covered in melted parmesan. I washed it down with La Fin Du Monde, while Shayla enjoyed a raspberry Lambic. I had tiramisu for desert. I'm going to miss the sweet, sweet animal products but it will be an interesting challenge to make tasty food without them. I decided to make my first project Tom Kah, which is hands down my favorite vegan food so far. I also got all my biking gear together, and I'm going to try to ride 200 miles this month. I figure 5 miles per day, five days per week (to and from work) will make 100, and I'll do some biking on the weekend to get the other 100. For inspiration, I'll be dropping some Minor Threat into my MP3 player. w00t.
