Hello vegans and vegan lovers!
It's so great to be hitting Vegan Mofo time again. I feel so inspired by the community to cook and bake such wonderful and new things. This year, I don't really have a plan for posting, but that could change! Watch out, world!
So, as I mentioned before, I started a new job at an airline. This has proven to be the craziest summer I can ever remember, and I've some crazy ones! I'm planning on taking full advantage of my flight benefits this month and taking my husband to San Francisco for our fifth (!!!) wedding anniversary. Of course, I will be posting lots of photos of the delicious things we plan on hitting up.
For now, though, I thought I'd share a couple random photos I found in my phone. What is Vegan MoFo if not random sometimes?
First, Hood & Portland to Coast, one of the most awesome running/walking relays in the USA, took place last weekend. This is my second year participating and I just love it so much. A teammate baked me my own personal size vegan marionberry crumble!! I snacked on this thing after all my legs and it was the best.
Sometimes I forget to pack a lunch for work. Well, it's more that I have to get up at the ungodly hour of 2:30 or 3am and have no desire to cook the night before in this unseasonal heatwave Portland has been experiencing. By "heatwave" I mean "stupid hot thick humid times." When I forget lunch, there are some awesome options at PDX I can turn to, like Elephant's Deli, who recently had a vegan quinoa curry bowl. They also carry this vegan chocolate mousse that is TO DIE FOR.
My husband and I recently hit up Sen Yai, a new outpost of the Pok Pok empire right down the street from our house...next to Pok Pok. Jeff was not impressed by the food he ordered OR the service, but I loved my dish, which was called Suki Haeng and is available vegan. I don't know what was in that sauce, but holy crap it was good.
The other day, a friend and I hit up Fire on the Mountain for their "Mountainfest," which we assumed meant beer festival but actually just meant live music and pints outside. The thing about FOTM that makes them super awesome? They make vegan wings. VEGAN. WINGS. They are a delicious baked seitan concoction. So, I had them with raspberry habenero sauce and they were delicious. Also, beer. The wings are so much better than the beer.

Aww, yeah! It's mostly just PB &J breaks between planes, but I suppose I could write a day in the life type of post.
A new job at an airport?! How awesome. I did high school work experience at an airport and loved it, sadly they don't employ punk ass lookin' people at airports so no fun plane job for me!
You should totally do a day in the life kinda post, I love reading stuff like that!
Yes!! Great post! If you're gonna be a vegan working at an airport, PDX is a pretty great place to be based. Also, I agree with Kittee, more airport/ airline posts- its such a cool expense that I know almost noting about!
