Staycation Weekend: Vegan MoFo Day 11&12

Published date November 15, 2010

Oh the weekend. It couldn’t come soon enough. Normally, they don’t mean anything to me, because I have other things I need to be doing, but this week I was ready for it to be Saturday…. on Tuesday. And I got some much needed downtime. I introduced an omnivore to...

Published date November 8, 2010

This weekend was a nice little break, today it’s back to the grindstone. I finally tried a chimichuri sandwich at Urban Herbivore, and after all that wait, it was… okay. The moment the sad little sandwich was passed over to me in the paper box, I felt sad that I...

Published date October 5, 2010

I finally went to King’s Cafe (192 Augusta Ave) today after multiple recommendations from other people. I was in the neighbourhood after grabbing a soy latte from Dark Horse Espresso Bar so it made sense to head over to Kensington Market to grab a bite to eat. I had sampled...

I had planned on going to Nazareth (the Ethiopian restaurant, which is about four minutes away from the Ossington Subway station) last night, but it was closed! At least I wasn’t the only one that walked up, saw the sign and frowned. Two women dressed in suits walked up… and...

Coffee Time.

Published date September 21, 2010

A cafe that’s been getting a lot of buzz lately is Snakes and Lattes, the boardgame cafe, on Bloor. I wanted to check it out to see what all the fuss was about and find out if they had anything for me to eat. Well. They don’t. If you’re vegan,...

Saturday was a beautiful day for the Vegetarian Food Festival put on by the Toronto Vegetarian Association in Harbourfront Center. It remained bright and sunny until really late in the day. I got there early, right before it really got crowded, and snacked on a bunch of things (perhaps too...

Everything and Everything – More Poutine, but not much else.
