The Search for Felafel

In my last post, I mentioned my friend Assim and our common passion for felafel. I haven’t had a good felafel in a long time. It got me thinking about all the food that I enjoyed in my travels to Turkey and Morocco. This morning, I was driving down Albany Street, thinking of Assim and […]

Vegan Boy

He decided to go vegan while we were still on our RV trip. I will […]

Colleen Patrick Goudreau is an activist, cookbook writer, and all around cool person. Her podcast is called Vegetartian Food for Thought www.compassionatecooks.com/podcast.htm When […]
