I’m only doing this, because I’m exhausted. I’m operating on too little sleep and too many hush puppies (another two batches tonight). So you’ll get this and like it. I know that even my good friends don’t know this stuff about me, so there you have it. Read it and learn, effers.

Brought to you by Lauren of Whoa Wren!
1. Favorite non-dairy milk?
Almond. By far the creamiest, most versatile (can go sweet or savory), and the most delicious!

2. What are the top 3 dishes/recipes you are planning to cook?
Well, I’m choosing an appetizer, an entree, a side dish or salad, and a dessert from Martha Stewart’s Empire of cookbooks or magazines to veganize. We’ll see how quickly I give up and go with my own stuff.

3. Topping of choice for popcorn?
Earth Balance and sea salt or cooked in oil and sea salt.

4. Most disastrous recipe/meal failure?
I can’t remember anything being too disastrous. Some just tasting gawd-awful, so it ends up going to the compost pile.

5. Favorite pickled item?
New York style pickle – extra sour.

6. How do you organize your recipes?
Depends. Some in folders. Mostly cookbooks.

7. Compost, trash, or garbage disposal?
Compost and disposal.

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)?
Seitan, rice, and gravy.

9. Fondest food memory from your childhood?
Nana’s cucumber and onions in a big jar of vinegar.

10. Favorite vegan ice cream?
Purely Decadent Coconut Milk Mint Chip or Mocha Almond Fudge.

Large Henkel knife or Black and Decker mini food processor that I’ve had for close to 25 years.

12. Spice/herb you would die without?
Black pepper or garlic.

13. Cookbook you have owned for the longest time?
Vegetarian Epicure Book Two by Anna Thomas, maybe. I’ve had this one just over 20 years. Recommended by my good friend, JAS.

14. Favorite flavor of jam/jelly?
Raspberry with seeds. I like the crunch.

15. Favorite vegan recipe to serve to an omni friend?
Vegan gumbo.

16. Seitan, tofu, or tempeh?
Seitan, then tofu, then tempeh.

21. Favorite grocery store?
I shop at several, but I LOVE going to my local food co-op.

22. Name a recipe you’d love to veganize, but haven’t yet.

Vegan Dad, Yeah that Vegan Shit, Kittee’s Cake Maker to the Stars, and Irreverent Vegan.

24. Favorite vegan candy/chocolate?
I’m almost finished with the Trader Joe’s vegan (and large) “snow caps”.

That plum vinegar stuff, what’s it called?

Lemongrass and leeks terrify me.
