July 19, 2008Despite the Fact That My Tattoo Will Be Super Lame ThereI've already made the announcement to all interested parties, so I guess that it's time for me to formally announce this here: In October, my family will be leaving Portland (temporarily!) to live in Texas for six months. We'll be living in the apartment on my parents' property so that Milo can spend time with and get to know them better, and so that we can start saving money to make a down payment on a house before we're in our 40s. Of course I'm very excited about being close to family and friends again, but I'm also looking forward to how this will affect the next cookbook! Living in the vegan paradise that is Portland, OR has spoiled me, no question. When hard-to-get, online-only specialty items like Soy Curls and Teese sneak into my recipes, I know it's time to get back to basics, and living in a small town in central Texas where I have to convince a grocery store manager to carry my brand of soymilk will be good for me and good for my creative process.

Welcome to Texas. We are in Austin, which is a little more vegan friendly. Good luck on your move.

thanks! i lived in austin for five years, so i will for sure be heading there every other month or so to eat at veggie heaven and stock up at whole foods.
Are you coming to Austin? awesome! Wheatsville is remodelling and expanding, don't forget about them :)
San Antonio has a few vegan options, too. But as a fellow Texan, I have to say it is nearly impossible to eat vegan at a Mexican restaurant around here...they love their lard! Good luck with your move, though -- I wish I could just take your place in Portland (aka vegan paradise).
And don't forget Mother's Cafe and Mr Natural. Though Veggie Heaven is still my favorite. And the almost 2 year old likes it. Hopefully his brother who is due in October will be a fan as well.

Good luck!
It's so easy to get attached to all those yummy vegan healthy food products... I used to live in a small town where finding ricemilk was lucky and now I live in a city where buying quinoa and flax oil is something I do on a daily/weekly basis.
Hi! Your link for your cookbook doesn't work. How can I get a copy?

Well written article.
