email like loading posted in general potato pizza the jam posted on june 27 2014 by michele truty 8 comments it s been a long time since i lived in new york but if i close my eyes and concentrate i can still transport myself to my favorite spots still hear my favorite sounds guy on the stoop rockin on the accordion i m talkin at you and taste my favorite foods two new york foods i keep at the ready for my daydreameatings are chocolate ice and potato pizza i had not eaten either of these since moving to the west coast and i miss them terribly i ve got a recipe for chocolate granita somewhere that i keep meaning to try but i just know i won t get it right and i d have to find those little paper cups to serve it in anyway too much of a hassle for what would likely be a huge disappointment so that leaves potato pizza this was the treat i would get after my lunchtime optometrist appointments i worked downtown and my optometrist was in chinatown upstairs from a furniture shop it didn t have its own door you had to walk through the furniture shop and find the secret staircase up to the office anyhoo after the appointment i would walk back up broadway and stop in dean deluca to grab an orangina and a piece of potato pizza ritual i don t even know what bakery they got it from but i can only assume it s super famous in some circles and it wins tons of fancy awards because this onion potato rosemary olive oily flatbread is indeed the jam served as a room temp palm size rectangle of starch and oil and herb it really is a treat oh and it turns out super easy to make let s what you need dough for one thin pizza half of your favorite 3 cups flour 1 cup water recipe room temperature one yellow sweet onion for somewhere reaching 1 cup sliced thin and cut in half one giant russet potato or a pair of medium potatoes peeled and sliced suuuuper thin as much fresh rosemary as you can handle just the leaves no stems olive oil salt and pepper what you do with it get your oven preheating to 475 f i m not kidding here about the suuuuper thin potatoes like potato chip thin you want to see light through them i have a mandoline slicer that sits in a drawer 364 days a year this is where it earns its keep if your potatoes are not thin enough they will not cook through and you ll end up with potatoes on bread so slice those potatoes and if you re afraid they ll go brown while you re working and stick them in cold water make sure you dry them out on a tea towel before go time slice the onions as thin as possible as well while you ve got that mandoline out toss the potatoes and onions in just a touch of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste throw in some of your rosemary leaves but make sure to set some aside as you lay out the potatoes you re going to want plenty of rosemary on top for the pretty room temp dough is key especially when you want a thin crust if you re pulling your dough from the fridge or freezer give it ample time to come to temp or it ll fight you as you try to stretch it and you ll end up with a thicker denser crust not what we re looking for here coat a 9 13 inch baking pan with olive oil and push the dough all the way to the edges and corners give it time and patience so you ve got an even thin layer if it s not going to the edges or is otherwise being fussy walk away and let it rest a few minutes then try again brush the top with olive oil and bake for about 5 minutes and pull it out to top it on your par baked crust lay out your potatoes scallop style the sliced onion will come along for the ride you re going to want two full layers but not much more or it won t cook through see earlier potatoes on bread note wound up with extra potato and onion wrap it in clingyfilm and cook it up with breakfast after topping with remaining rosemary pop it back in the oven top rack this bad boy for 10 ish minutes the crust will be crispy and brown and the potatoes on top will start to curl up and brown if your crust bottom is brown but your potatoes up top don t look done try the broiler for a little bit then get it on to a cooling rack until you can handle it enough to cut into rectangles then let it cool some more yes it s going to smell so good that you re going to want to dig in and who s looking go ahead and try a little piece but as it comes to room temperature the flavors come together the starches bind and set and then it s really ready enough to make you not freak out about new glasses costing you four freaking hundred dollars seriously this is great for next day lunches picnics camping hiking marathoning game of thrones anytime you can t be bothered with refrigeration or reheating and while it may not make you think of new york it s still pretty damn good share this tweet share on reddit

potato potato pizza vida vegan con news posted on june 12 2014 by michele truty 2 comments as you may know i m one of the trio behind vida vegan home of vida vegan con the vegan media and lifestyle conference we started out as purely a blogger conference but have widened our scope a bit to include video audio presenting speaking publishing and some general philosophy sociology lifestyle aspects of veganism we figure if folks are better at writing and talking about a cruelty free life that s going to help those around us see that this vegan thing ain t so weird or tough good for the animals good for the earth good for our health boom so with that out of the way two giant bits o news vvc iii after a gut punching monkey wrench of a scheduling error we have finally been able to announce our new date for vida vegan con iii in one of my favorite vegan friendly cities austin texas may 29 31 2015 mark those calendars cause it s on regular registration doesn t open until august 1 but as part of announcement 2 don t skip ahead limited early bird registration and inclusive packages will be available tomorrow friday june 13 at 8 00 a m pst these are 60 off regular price so cha ching it s below cost for us but it s fun and we ll just work super hard to get loads of great sponsors to make it up for more information on this and speaker applications visit our site vida vegan membership drive one of the coolest things about vida vegan con is that the attendees and speakers are really on equal footing and are able to turn to one another for advice skill sharing and general friendstuffs we hang out when we travel we consult one another when we re buying a new camera you get the idea we have a private facebook group for past vvc ers and it s great except if you re not on

circle type group which we ll turn to for input as we move forward with vida vegan developments members also have a chance to opt in to be connected with vegan friendly brands for potential samples

vegan veganism worldwide vegan bake sale wvbs wwvbs vegan v plant based fight posted on february 28 2014 by michele truty 5 comments if you re not as obsessed with vegan products and marketing trends as i am you may not have noticed the uptick in the use of plant based by companies to market their products you might assume plant based is less scary than vegan to the mainstream so this new moniker simply reads as healthier and more natural so normal not crazy vegan folk will buy it we the public would also assume these products are vegan as we ve been using both terms for a while and this assumption would be safe by 2010 standards hey it might be good enough for many of us now but here s the whole flipside to this plant based trend a plant based product might not necessarily be cruelty free as we are becoming increasingly aware by the power of the internet and lightning fast social media companies are beginning to understand that calling something vegan really needs to be animal cruelty free and they are protecting themselves getting in front of the backlash they might receive should loud or numerous voices point out that maybe vegan does not apply to their products a danger of reliance on the plant based label is that the floodgates are open bone char treated sugar might no longer be a concern nor would any other plant derived ingredient that underwent animal related processing such as albumin in wine if the final substance is free from animal ingredients then no rules are being broken plant based it is and we re none the wiser hell by definition a plant based product could have been developed using animal testing then there s palm oil it s still a hot issue because of the way it s being farmed while some palm oil is grown sustainably it s a pretty small percentage and deforestation has increased massively to meet our demand for this crop displacing so many animals most notably the orangutan many products we have come to rely on as vegans including alternatives to dairy products now have this sinister aspect to them ugh it was supposed to get easier to go vegan so we have a choice to try harder to find new alternatives or keep using these products when we feel we must to get through the day perhaps feeling guilty while we do it either way we can appeal to these companies threatening boycott or not and ask them to please discontinue their use of these tainted ingredients at the end of the day we do need to be able to a live in this imperfect world and b live with our imperfect selves we have to do the best we can to survive and feel good about how we re doing it we accept the evils we buy into such as petroleum plastic packaging and pharmaceuticals we try to lessen our entitled human footprint by avoiding paper products made from virgin trees recycling and upcycling and buying quality local sweatshop free goods true not everyone can read every label then write to the companies to find out whether that lactic acid is derived from plants or animals not everyone is aware of the less than perfect aspects of products they buy whether it s exploitation of animals the environment or workers rights how much can we rely on that super unofficial suitable for vegans on the label or even the vegetarian society s little flower icon do these designations mean a product is perfect i trust this isn t reading as hopelessness we can still make better choices and fight our fights i think it s important to find out as much as you can about what you buy or put into your body and it s important to make companies profiting off these products aware of the fact that you care and that you are willing to walk away from something that might taste really really good if they don t produce it ethically i mean y all walked away from
