Hi everyone! Today’s “Elementary, My Dear Vegan” is the strawberry smoothie that Watson makes for herself at the beginning of S1E7 (“One Way to Get Off”). Later in the episode, after visiting Holmes’ old rehab center, she gives him the letters from Irene that he’d left behind…
Watson: I just thought you might want these. (holds out letters to Holmes)
Holmes: Indeed, I do. (takes letters) Thank you, Watson. (goes to blender, shoves the letters in with the remaining smoothie, and starts blending)
Watson: Hey, what are you doing?
Holmes: I left those at Hemdale because I didn’t want them.
Watson: I don’t understand, aren’t those important?
Holmes: Remember your promise: No further discussion of this matter until I bring it up.
Watson: Fine. Fine.
For my smoothie, I blended together 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 cup unsweetened soy milk, and 1 frozen banana. I’m still not much of a smoothie person, but it worked, haha!
Yesterday I came into the kitchen to find Daisy and Cringer sitting at the table like this…
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! June’s MiniMoFo is “fruit,” so I tried a new smoothie recipe, the fruit salad smoothie from Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food. It was really good! The fruit in it is banana and frozen strawberries, but it also contains romaine lettuce, making it the first “green” smoothie I’ve actually liked, hehe!
Here’s Buttons resting in the kitchen...
Peace. :)
Hi everyone! Sorry I missed posting last week; it was quite busy! The march and rally for Un Día Sin Inmigrantes on May 1 went really well; here’s a link to an article about it: Phoenixville community members hold immigration rally. The next day, Zach and I headed out on a road trip to Maine! There wasn’t anything too exciting food-wise; we kept it simple (oatmeal, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, random snacks, and Subway sandwiches haha), so I didn’t bother to take pictures. (I did, however, take 450+ nature photos, which I still need to sort through.) To get back into the swing of weekly blogging with a simple recipe, I tried one that Susan (Kittens Gone Lentil) shared for an ANZAC biscuit smoothie. It was easy to make & so delicious! Definitely give it a try!

Hello everyone! Today Zach and I visited my sister Alena in Philly, and it was a lot of fun! We went to Blackbird Pizzeria for lunch, ordering a large pizza (half pepperoni, half plain) to share. The pepperoni (made with seitan) was great, and Zach enjoyed the plain pizza.
Alena also got a cheesesteak (Blackbird Pizzeria won this year's Best Vegan Cheesesteak in Philly contest)...
...and Zach got a side of fries (not pictured, but they were good; I made sure to grab some hehe).
After that, we walked along South Street, checking out a comic book store, and then heading over to my favorite bookstore -- Wooden Shoe Books -- but it was closed for the day.
Alena had recommended that I try the banana strawberry smoothie at Vegan Tree, so she and I each got one, and it was amazing (a bit messy because it got overfilled and then a lid squished on, but absolutely delicious and well worth the sticky fingers haha). Here's a pic of Alena's, almost finished...
And here's some nice art we saw on our walk...
P.S. I got to see this cutie, the sweet little Blu!
Peace. :)
