I’m starting to get cranky.
Welcome to day 6 of my week-long vegan eating adventure.
Breakfast: Wheatabix cereal with soy milk.
Lunch: I drag a friend to California Vegan Restaurant on Sunset. I get a sweet and sour seitan (wheat gluten) dish with steamed brown rice. The sauce is tangy and tasty with pineapple, which I always love. […]

Adventures in Veganism: Day 6
Summer TV Totally Worth TiVo-ing
The three month long writer’s strike this winter left us cold, lonely, and without our favorite shows. The strike ended in February, but it took the writers and showrunners a while to get back in the swing of things. We had stunted seasons of shows like The Office to compensate for the time off, and […]
Adventures in Veganism: Day 4
Hello all, welcome to day 4 of my week-long vegan eating extravaganza.
I can honestly say that I’m getting used to eating vegan, although I did wake up in a cold panic last night thinking I’d accidentally had nonfat milk instead of soy milk in my morning coffee yesterday, so maybe I take that back…
Breakfast: Breakfast […]
Finding Love in the Post-College World: The Commons Versus the Common Experience
My first night back in Los Angeles, after a year of living in New York, I ended up at a bar on Sunset called Coach & Horses. It was dark, dank, a jukebox kind of place. I started talking to a guy, a friend of a friend, about our jobs, favorite movies, favorite television shows. […]
Adventures in Veganism: Day 3
Welcome to day 3 of my week eating entirely vegan.
Breakfast: Venti soy latte from Starbucks. I’m afraid of trying any syrups in my drink because I don’t think they’ll mix well with soy milk.
Lunch: Leftover vegan chili from last night (still tasty!) wrapped in corn tortillas.
Dinner: I attempt to make vegan tofu scramble. The […]
Adventures in Veganism: Day 2
Here begins day two of my week attempting to eat like a vegan:
Breakfast: Oatmeal. Again.
Lunch: My quick-fix meal, a ham and cheese sandwich, is out, so I just munch on grapes, dried fruit, and nuts. I feel like a Greek god, but not at all full.
Dinner: I pull out the big guns for dinner. I […]
Finding Love in the Post-College World: Sex and the Unemployed
It sounds like a dream: lazing in bed until eleven, having sex in the middle of the day, scoping out your city’s best happy hours in the early evening with your man. This is the life of those unemployed and in a relationship. But there’s a dark side, a very dark side, and it’s called […]
Adventures in Veganism: Day 1
My favorite places to eat at in Los Angeles include In N’ Out for their double-double animal-style burgers and Bay Cities Italian Deli in Santa Monica for their “godmother” sandwich, a bread and meat monstrosity with cold cuts from every edible animal. I rarely eat at home because I can’t cook, and when I do, […]
