I’ve been waiting for this day since the last totally fabulous vegan bake-off in October of 2010, the 4th Totally Fabulous Vegan Bake-Off. This time, with my delightful co-pilot, JC.

The day after VidaVeganCon was strange. The weather changed; Portland took on the rainy grey demeanor it is known for. I had only planned to stay until Sunday night, leaving for New Orleans (by bus), but strange weather conditions (in the east – re: hurricane Irene) made that unlikely and just...

I forgot to mention going to Portland in February, since then I’ve been busy with school and work. Thankfully I have four consecutive days off, and it feels wonderful. It also occurs to me I should update my 101 in 1001 days list at some point, considering September(the end month) isn’t that...
