The Roaming Vegan Gnome

Have you tried out Isa's newest book yet? I bought Isa Does It on a whim when I probably should have been saving money and I am so glad I did. Not only is it full of reliably delicious reci...

Every year I have these grand expectations that this year will be different, this year I will write awesome words about awesome things, this year will be my year. Not this time! Lemme tel...

This summer has been a hot one. I am mostly grumpy about this not only because I work outside, but also because I haven't really been able to bake a thing in my cramped, overheated apartment...

My job is amazing. Seriously. In case you didn't know, I work on the ramp for an airline. Not only am I forced to get some daily strength training in (people pack anvils in their luggage, I...

So, what does a vegan eat day-to-day when they're not trying to be flashy for a blog challenge like Vegan MoFo? Well, let me show you. Breakfast almost always ends up being toast. Lately, t...

A short time ago, a new food cart pod opened up right around the corner from my house. My husband explored it a bit and was very excited to tell me there is a waffle cart with vegan options. Yo...

Hello readers! Vegan MoFo is upon us and I am going to do my darnedest to post every day. A very rough sketch of my posting plan: Monday: Random! Tuesday: Tidbit Tuesday. A new food cart ...

Well, hello there! Long time no see! A lot has happened since my last post in, ahem, OCTOBER. Some travel (ok, LOTS of travel), a bunch of work, and a lots of eating. Vegan MoFo has always b...

A several weeks ago, my running friend Libby (who you have might remember from this post and others) posted a couple of race links on my FB page. The exchange went down like this: After a f...

Well, lookit here! I managed 7 posts during Vegan Mofo! Kindly withhold your applause; it may not be an easy feat, but it is a manageable one. All joking aside, may I be honest here? My job...

While for the most part Jeff and I foraged for lunch at dinner at bars while in San Francisco, breakfast we took seriously. Well, I took it seriously. Having been scared off of Herbivore by ...

After that exciting night at Lagunitas and a consequent bedtime of 8pm (oh, what working early hours will do to one's sleep habits) Jeff and I made our way into Petaluma proper. It's such a t...

Oh, fellow MOFO'rs, has it really been 12 days since my last missive? You know that feeling when you *should* be doing something (like posting regularly) and you're all set up to do so but t...

When I first started my training at the airline, I found out one of my new coworkers not only had the very same water bottle I did (a very Portland-specific Shamrock Run Camelbak bottle) but ...

Yesterday was Labor Day and like many of you, I had it off. I wish it were because my employer shut down for the day (hahaha, airlines don't shut down!) and gave everyone a break, but actuall...

Hello vegans and vegan lovers! It's so great to be hitting Vegan Mofo time again. I feel so inspired by the community to cook and bake such wonderful and new things. This year, I don't real...

Hello blog-land! So many things have happened in the past couple months that I don't even know where to catch up. So, the basics: I recently (as in, December?) took on a bigger responsibility...

http://roamingvegangnome.blogspot.com/2013/06/2013-will-be-my-year.html

First, I'd like to apologize for the radio silence for the last 7 months. I'm in my final month of my undergrad career (!!) and combined with work, Vegan Iron Chef, and running, I just find mysel...

I absolutely dropped the ball on recapping our most recent trip (and MoFo, for you vegans reading). School and work and life just caught up with me. In fact, I'm writing this in the tutoring roo...

I wasn't really planning on writing about how I fuel for my races, but running has become such a big part of my life and is a constant work in progress that I can't ignore. I have major anxie...

Yesterday I wrote my post at 11pm, when I got home from my semi-regular Monday working schedule: 9 hours at the clinic, 3 hours on the paper route (plus the extra drive time to change clothes a...

Hello! So, it's been a little while since my last missive. But I had to come back. It's time to celebrate the Vegan Month of Food! Time to squeeze a little time out of my October days to appr...

I didn't plan on running a second half marathon a month after my first. At least, not legally. See, my running buddy Libby had signed up for the half and she was running it somewhat alone. I ...

I know this is a little late, but hey, life gets in the way. You know? I ran my very first half marathon on May 20th. The experience was terrifying, emotional, draining, hard, and fantastic all...
