I acknowledge that I have not posted in a few weeks now, and I really regret the lapse. I have been so busy planning this trip to Rwanda, and finishing off the school year, that I really have not had time.
Once the trip gets underway, however, I hope to make regular posts, but those posts will not contain recipes, rather they will be posts about maintaining a vegan lifestyle while travelling.
I'm looking forward to a vegan high-tea in London, and I will post a review about the restaurant that offers that, as well as a trip to The Coach and Horses, a London pub that serves only vegetarian and vegan food. Looking forward to the tofish and chips!!!
Our meals on the airplane are listed as "vegetarian hindu" I think that means vegan. I hope it means vegan!
I'll keep you posted.

Party Post-Mortem
My SIL's birthday party at our house was great!
The cake was fantastic, and I have my sister to thank for that great recipe.
I also made a potato salad using small red potatoes - so small, in fact that I only needed to cut them in half before boiling them. I bought them at my local Loblaw store. They are called "Little Gems" and apart from being a pain in the neck to cut, they are great for salads. Loblaws also sells white and coloured Little Gems. I added thinly sliced red onions to the potatoes, and then added the dressing. I added a few dashes of Trader Joe's Everyday Spice mix to the bowl.
I made the dressing out of vegenaise and dijon mustard, a dash of vegan worcestershire sauce, and plenty of black pepper.
We also had a fruit tray and a veggie tray. I made a dip from french onion soup mix (it's vegan!), silken tofu and vegan cream cheese. It was great.
My SIL made a beautiful salad containing a mix of greens and kale, spinach and avocado.
We had a great day!
