MoFo impaired

Raiu — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 05:23:20 +0000

My satellite internet provider is unhappy with my internet usage. One of the things that has contributed to this is reading all the mofo blogs. No. Satellites have nothing against vegan. It is the huge usage of bandwidth that reading hundreds of posts a day (on top of my regular browsing habits) that my ISP objects to.
Having my satellite speed cut down by my ISP keeps me away from the computer and therefore blogging less. Sorry about that. I’ll try to be better. But the heavens (or more precisely: the objects in the heavens) are against me.

The Last Giveaway I’m Entering. I Swear.

I love VeganMoFo time because my blog feed is glutted with various giveaways. I’ve entered a number of TofuXpress giveaways but have not won one. And although there are many cookbook giveaways, there are only two cookbooks on my shortlist that I want: The Yellow Rose Recipe Book & the Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook. But for the longest time I have been living on an extremely limited income so I’ve been unable to buy either book or a TofuXpress.

Well, now I Eat Trees is doing a giveaway for the Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook. I’m doubtful that I’ll win it, but I have to try.

I Eat Trees is one of the blogs that I’ve recently found through the Vegan Month of Food blogging event that I’m trying to participate in. But more on that some other time. I cannot tell you how incredibly awesome it is to be able to read so many blogs in one syndicated feed. If you are one of my non-mofo readers interested in reading along (you don’t have to blog) then head on over to the VeganMoFo headquarters and subscribe.

Anyway, this is the last giveaway I’m entering. I’m just sort of tired of it. And I’m just going to go ahead and buy the Yellow Rose Recipe Book myself when I again have monies. Maybe I’ll even manage to purchase a tofuXpress. We’ll see.

Anyway, cross your fingers for me. Enter for yourself. If you win, come back and tell me about the first thing you made from it.

Just a quickie

My wordpress install was acting up. The blogs that it serves up to my various subdomains were still delivering content. However, I was not able to log into the backend to post/edit content. I’m too tired for this now. But here are some things to look forward to:

Bubble & Squeak Cakes
Seitan Pot Pie
the ongoing quest for rice crispy treats
my take on the thanksgiving meat cake

Love you bunches

Well, this is sad.

I haven’t been posting Vegan MoFo blogs because I have nothing blog worthy to post. I had very little food in the house. And I honestly couldn’t bring myself to post about the joys of ramen or break out the new survey floating around the vegan mofo blogisphere.

I had hoped to get out today and do some shopping. I even added a new “where to shop” page here for local newbie vegans. I was going to post pictures from my big shopping trip. unfortunately, shopping fell through.

So, here you go. a picture of my vegetable alphabet soup fresh from the can:

I added some rice I had to bulk it up a bit… cause I’m gourmet like that.

Sorry MoFo’ers. Better blogs starting tomorrow. I hope.

Vegan MoFo 2010 is underway

How excited are you?
What is the Vegan Mofo?
It’s like the NaNoWrMo (National Novel Writing Month) but veganism oriented. The goal is to write approximately 20 posts about vegan things (preferably food). And last year the Vegan MoFo coincided with the start of my veganism, so it has a special place in my heart. So even though I am ill prepared for this year’s MoFo I am still excited about participating in it.

This isn’t my official VeganMofo post for the day. Just a heads up to expect activity from me again.
