November 16, 2007the danger of the vegan mini-mall and macaroni and cheese #3did you know that there is a vegan mini-mall that just opened 8 short blocks from my house? yes. it houses: herbivore clothing, food fight grocery, scapegoat tattoo and (soon) sweetpea bakery. all vegan businesses. now, this is stone cold awesome for several reasons. one is: VEGAN MINI-MALL. another is that my good friends run herbivore, so i'll be able to walk the kid down on a regular basis and annoy them. score. another is that food fight and sweetpea are now blissfully close for all of our craving fulfillment. like last night, when matt said, "i want stroopwaffel." stroopwaffel, if you don't know, are these german cookies that taste like miniature waffles drenched in maple syrup. they're kind of absurd, and i can't handle them, but matt loves them. so i said: "go get some!" and he realized that he could, so he ran to food fight and was back within 10 minutes. and he was carrying a box of mighty-o donuts. so this was my breakfast this morning:  the pink one is some sort of gingerbready spice cake with raspberry glaze and the other one was also spicy, possibly pumpkiny? who cares. delicious. then for dinner, i made the mac daddy from veganomicon:  i added shredded swiss chard and topped it with my own vegan parmesan to give it a little bit of a crunchy crust. then i ate two heaping servings of it. acid reflux be damned!

how did you like the mac daddy?
i ate two servings! it was good. i liked the addition of the tofu but i missed the creaminess of soymilk in the sauce, a lot.
Stroopwafels are Dutch, not German. And I am Dutch and totally jealous that you can get fresh vegan stroopwafels in the US, whereas I cannot even get them here in the Netherlands! That mini mall really sounds lovely.
oh my gosh, more donuts!
And yeah, stroopwafels are the best.things.ever. I have to say that the vegan ones at Food Fight don't quite compare to the real ones (which taste like pure butter and maple syrup crack), but they are goooood.
I am delighted to see them mentioned here! I was actually thinking about a poem a classmate wrote about them yesterday, haha.
You have just made vegans everywhere jealous of your vegan mini-mall. Seriously. But damn is Mighty-O something awesome. I go there every time I go to Seattle now.
Oh my, those do look good. I must go bake something now.
Lucky!
Everyone needs to stop talking about the mini mall and vegan donuts! Just stop!
...for another two years until I can actually think about moving there!
oh man, those Mighty-O's are going to get me in trouble. I had a plain glazed the other day and was so excited to find out that they're not as cakey as other vegan donuts i've had...they were almost like a real glazed donut!
I am *dying* to go to this mini mall! A few San Fran vegans are thinking about making a pilgrimage. Mighty O Oh Oh so Mighty!
I am so jealous!!! I wish I had a vegan mini-mall nearby! You'd think living in Sonoma county there would be one, but there really isn't. Although out in Sebastopol there are a lot of vegan friendly shops. But they're all really expensive.
Those doughnuts are making my mouth water.
tell me about "my own vegan parmesan". oh please.
the recipe for my vegan parmesan will be in the cookbook.
