Twilight Vegetarian Food Rage

Every now and then something comes along and tells me that vegetarians and vegans still have a long way to go.
Friday night was date night for me and my wife and she REALLY wanted to see Twilight. We compromised for our date night. First, we went to go to Spin (which I like) […]

Food Wars: Carnivore, Vegetarian, Vegan, Raw

So I’m vegan.  I don’t really talk about it too much on Blog Well Done because I am afraid I might scare off some of my hypothetical readers.
I wasn’t always vegan.  In fact, when I was still doing blogspot.wordpress.com, I was a carnivore, though given that my wife was vegetarian, I was at least veg-friendly.
In […]

Chinese Cooking

Chinese cooking has long been an topic at which I have turned up my nose. For many years, I was awash in a sea of Panda Expresses, crab rangoon filled with Philadelphia cream cheese, and MSG-laden Chinese buffets.
A lot of that had to do with college. During those four years, I looked at […]

Mmm… Shogun

Tonight we went to my favorite sushi place…Shogun in Overland Park, KS.
(Yes, Kansas seems an odd place for the mecca of sushi, but I’ve eaten sushi in every town I visit.  Shogun is best, though Maki in Irvine, CA isn’t too shabby.)
So there’s only one problem…I’m vegan. 
I do have an ace up my sleeve.  Given […]

When I Am Sick, I Crave Junk Food

I don’t get it.  I really don’t understand.
At a time when I should be loading my body with fresh fruits and vegetables and all the vitamins and minerals that entails, all I want to do is eat two things: hot and sour soup and friend wontons.  This has been the meal of choice for me […]

Cheap Entertaining or a Reasonable Facsimile Thereof

This idea has really started to resonate with me.  After a Christmas party that carried a nearly $20/head charge, the Super Bowl, and my birthday coming up, entertaining has just been on my mind.  I try to stay away from entertaining as a topic here because there are many excellent blogs that cover it.  However, I […]

Ethan’s Egg Recipe

My son Ethan helped me make eggs this morning and this is his recipe:

6 eggs
A good 2 second pour of salt
2 teaspoons of pepper
3 teaspoons garlic powder

Heat a skillet over medium heat.  When the skillet is hot, coat the skillet with a small layer of non-stick cooking spray.
Add 6 eggs to a bowl and stir to break […]

Happy World Vegan Day!

That’s right, it’s back again for another crazy year.  It’s World Vegan Day.
I know many of you, my readers, are not vegans, which is just fine.  Neither am I.  However, there is nothing wrong with trying vegan recipes every now and then (like my soyrizo taquitos for instance…)
I was vegan once for about three days, […]
