<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Hey guys, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">so last Saturday during the garage sale I set up
a veggie table and then ended up just leaving it to go looking at things for
sale and then the KFC protest, and Simon who was garage sale-ing also came
along, and seeing an abandoned table, adopted it. People stopped to look and
some took pamphlets and stuff, but I didn't count how many I put out, so I have
no idea how many were taken.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Yves veggie burgers are on sale at Hartmans this
week.... They also carry a new line called Mon Cuisine <A
href="http://www.moncuisine.com/">http://www.moncuisine.com/</A> which
among the different dinners available is "Vegetarian Vegan Party
Favorites" which contains mini egg rolls, cocktail franks, teriyaki ginger
puffs, and garden puffs. I haven't tried them yet, but the idea is exciting.

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Speaking of finger foods, I found at Loeb a brand
called "Asian Delight" that has mini vegetable samosa.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">At natural food pantry I found out they have a
hard time getting in Roads End Shells and Chreese. They did have Road's End
chreese packets next to their soy/etc tetrapaks, in the gluten free section, but
after stocking up it occurred to me that I had not had gluten free before. I
also tried the gluten free alfredo and thought it was pretty nasty.... so don't
go running out and buying the chreese packets yet. If they suck I'll have to ask
Natural Food Pantry about getting the others. They said they have trouble
getting in certain things... of course things that I like best! (vegan gourmet
mozzarella, shells n chreese etc.) They also have Roads End gravy, but that is
another thing I've yet to try.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">A guy from my work's Germany office came over for
a few months, and he brought me Soyatoo Soy Whip Cream in a spray can! It has a
strong soy taste (which you could get used to) and that spray can taste. It's
just fun to use a spray can again! Various USA mail-order companies carry it now
(in different packaging).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Besides halved yukon gold potatoes with Tofutti
sour cream, my favorite way now to have potatoes is to throw a few cloves of
garlic in with the potatoes when boiling, mash with the little remaining water
when cooked, and add some olive oil (I use PC canola-olive mix) to desired
consistency (not too dry - just sticky)... (Pictured with BBQ sauce-Tofurky and
cinnamon-agave-carrots.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">As far as I can tell the new PC old fashioned Sea
Salt and Balsamic Vinegar Kettle Chips are vegan, and I've recently tried other
kettle chips (kettle brand, and some other one being sold in Zellers) and the PC
ones taste the best in general, but particularly the vinegar in this flavor is
milder to me than the usual S&V chip. YUM. (on sale - at Hartmans anyway-
$2/bag). Zellers also had some brand of chocolate -Governor's Table- that
is vegan, and the Natural Food Pantry (at billings bridge anyway,) has vegan
milk chocolate - Terra Nostra.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Yves seems to be coming out with some new
products... chicken ground round, 8 pack veggie burgers, veggie skewers(I tried
the chicken one... Draven told me it tasted like rat - like he'd know- and he
ended up finishing mine[perhaps that was the plan ;0)].... it was fine at
first... but kind of like the "ribs" at chez nam, all of a sudden midway through
the meal they taste really strange and you can't eat any more... maybe they
needed veggies... ) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Speaking of skewers, not long ago we had a meetup
at The Table with HUGE turnout (20ish people?)... they had these awesome
veggie&tofu skewers... SO GOOOOD! They also had some chocolate mousse cake
or something like that which was also unbelievably good. We had a smaller group
at the last one, but still great!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Someone know if PC/no name brand of tart shells
are vegan? I never write down the ingredients so I can check.... or does anyone
know of a vegan pie shell sold in stores? maybe I should try using phyllo or
something... interesting.... (I've actually NEVER experimented with phyllo
yet)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Also, VegGuide is now available.. check out your
local health food store (I know Herb and Spice have them up in their seating
area).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Well, that was a long email.... I do hope to get
some upcoming meetups up on the website shortly.... Later! (sorry for any sp
error... I caught a couple...)</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
