In an effort to share vegan bliss, I made three batches of cookies to take to the Sunset Book group.  Our leader Janet Tom may no longer be a vegan because she opened the other boxes that weren't vegan, and they were from Andronico's instead of from my oven!  Heavy competition and not free of eggs and dairy.

People thanked me but no one said they were good!  Of course, they didn't like the book either.  (Ari Shapiro's Best Strangers in the World.

 

Thanks to Carol Fregly, kindred vegan, I found out about this game.  Even though the mailing was $19, I got two of them!

Here's something from a review of  Mong Thu's Cafe in the Tenderloin--the vegan paragraph!

Larrimore had a hand in more than just the branding; he’s also responsible for the two plant-based items on Mộng Thu’s menu. Larrimore has kept a vegan diet since he was a 12-year-old straightedge punk in Philly, and Kim has been cooking him special meals since he and Meng started dating 13 years ago. In the Vietnamese Buddhist tradition, adherents follow a vegan diet on specific days in the lunar calendar, and Kim has always been happy to substitute tofu when cooking for Larrimore. According to Meng, Kim even likes to brag to her friends about Larrimore’s rigor in avoiding animal products, alcohol and cigarettes. 

At West Portal today, early afternoon, I asked some high school kids who were selling cookies whether they had any vegans.  They said no.  

I don't think I'll make it back there today, and they probably won't be there tomorrow.  But I want to have something handy for such occasions--the statement by the Alternate Cookie Company and at least one recipe for a vegan cookie.
