Monday, September 28th, 2009

I’ve been to every one since it started in 2005. I have planned vacations around the Vendy Awards, because I do not want to miss it — quite simply it is my favorite annual NYC event. And it’s all for an amazing cause — the Street Vendor Project.

Veggie Burger Heaven

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

I made the tofu patties by combining extra firm tofu, bread crumbs, onion, red pepper and jalapenos. As for spices, I mixed in lots of pepper, cumin and cayenne pepper. I cooked them up on a Foreman Grill. The condiments: chipotle mayo (made with mayo, chipotles in adobo sauce, lemon juice and pepper), as well as avacado, onions and tomato. The buns came from a good bakery. It was veggie burger heaven.
