We lived there for two years and it was my favorite place that I ever lived.<br /><br />Of course you must wear slippers in the hotel room - you mean everyone doesn't do that? I would have been freaking about having to touch the carpet behind the table!<br /><br />I can't wait to try those rice patties - back in the day I used to make a cheese version. They look wonderful.<br /><br />A good book for your road trips (and at home) would be The Short Cut Vegetarian by Lorna Sass (it is vegan). All very easy and delicious. I like the new Vegan Express, by Nava Atlas a lot, too.<br /><br />Those bird pics are beautiful!

It's very freaky that he would stuff himself w/ such a huge berry.<br /><br />I think the PP K sign was a trap :) <br /><br />I wish I could recommend some cookbooks. I tend to try one recipe from a book, get hooked on it, then don't venture too much further. I could recommend them, but you shoudl probably take them out of the library first. For example, I have tried the ravioli and groundnut stew from the voluptuous vegan and they are really good. but haven't tried any other recipes from it. it's because I keep trying all these blogger recipes first :)Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12542415639866249330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026825713366251702.post-20164501085265246082009-04-16T13:31:00.000-05:002009-04-16T13:31:00.000-05:00You sure asked the right question!

That must make being on the road so much easier...speaking of the road, I love the PPK exit sign - too bad Isa and Terry weren't waiting off the interstate.<BR/><BR/>Definitely trying those brown rice patties - they look so much more colorful and tasty than many veggie burger/patties - they deserve to be so self-confident.<BR/><BR/>The closeup bird pictures are beautiful too! I've been watching the early arrival of robins here, and I'm sure they wish they'd waited down south another week or so. The bird trying to put away those giant berries is too much. Great post, and I'm looking forward to more road food!Mike Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051037807615793962noreply@blogger.com
